Kildare Stables Beginner Riding Camp

Discover the Joy of Riding at Our Beginner's Horseback Riding Summer Camp!

Looking for an unforgettable summer adventure? Our Beginner’s Horseback Riding Camp offers the perfect mix of hands-on horse care, riding skills, and fun outdoor activities, all designed to introduce you to the world of horses!

What Your Camper Will Do:

- Horse Chores: A true cowboy or cowgirl starts with taking care of their horse! Campers will dive into daily horse chores like feeding, mucking stalls, and throwing hay, learning about the essential work that keeps our horses healthy and happy. It’s hard work, but it’s also a ton of fun!

- Grooming & Bathing: Learn how to keep your horse looking and feeling great! Campers will practice proper grooming techniques, including brushing, mane and tail care, and bathing. It’s a great way to bond with the horses while learning about their care needs.

- Horse Colors & Parts of the Horse: Ever wondered what makes a horse’s coat so unique? Campers will explore different horse colors and markings, and learn the key parts of a horse’s body. Understanding your horse’s anatomy is an important part of building a strong connection.

- Introduction to Tack: Tack is the equipment used for riding, and we’ll teach campers how to properly care for, fit, and use saddles, bridles, and other gear. It's hands-on learning that builds confidence and understanding of the riding experience.

- Beginner Riding Skills: Of course, no summer camp would be complete without some riding time! Campers will learn basic riding techniques, including mounting, steering, and controlling their horse at a walk and trot. Instructors will guide campers through the fundamentals, focusing on safety and comfort.

- Fun Camp Games & Horse-Themed Activities: Beyond the chores and riding, your camper will enjoy horse-themed games, arts and crafts, and team-building exercises. These activities foster teamwork, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for horses.
