2018 Horse Lover's Camps
Welcome to Horse Lover's Camp at Heart Bar Ranch! This is a place for both girls and boys to explore their love of horses. It is a place of fun, challenge, learning and adventure, where young people who love horses can compare the dream of having a horse of their own with the reality of day to day "horse-keeping".
| Curriculum | Heart Bar Ranch provides a safe, yet challenging, environment. The program teaches the sound fundamentals of beginning horsemanship. Campers share in the daily care and feeding of the horses. Campers gain skill, knowledge and awareness. Confidence soars and enjoyment and friendships flourish. Lessons are structured for fun, safety and skill development. Campers may ride English or Western. In addition to classes in the arena, there are vaulting lessons (gymnastics on horseback), trail rides, games, theory and videos. |
 |
| Structure | Each camp session is limited in size to ensure individual attention and full potential for skill development. Facilities include arenas, working pens, and extensive fields and trails. Campers are housed in a snug bunkhouse and eat in the main cabin. Heart Bar Ranch provides instruction, accommodation, meals, horses, tack and safety helmets. |  |
| Schedule |
This season will mark a change in the structure of our camps. We are moving away from our "horses only" image and changing the curriculum to reflect the whole farm. This means there will be formal learning about the cows, pigs, chickens and garden. There will also be only half day of horse related activities for day camps. (Campers in day camps will wrangle, lead, groom, tack up, and ride/vault on horses being lunged, but individual saddle horses will no longer be furnished during day camps). There will be proficiency requirements to participate in a camp where personal saddle horses are provided. Lessons are available for campers wishing to work on their skills.
Below you will find a schedule of camps for the summer of 2018. If you have any questions about camp content feel free to contact me.
Warmest wishes,
