Spring Break on a Horse

Are you looking for the perfect Spring Break activity for the young horse-lover in your family? Warm Beach Horsemanship now offers Spring Horse Day Camp, April 4-7, 2017, for youth ages 8-15. Campers will experience loving and caring for a horse of their own while they grow in their faith, friendships, and horsemanship skill.

Each day from 9am to 4pm, campers will learn about horses and work directly with a horse that is carefully selected just for them. Campers will be grouped in small classes of six, according to riding experience, and receive quality instruction that will boost their confidence and horsemanship ability. Set amidst a beautiful environment overlooking Port Susan Bay at Warm Beach Camp in Stanwood, days are filled with riding lessons, trail rides, and horse science. Campers learn safe horse handling practices and the basics of grooming, saddling, and caring for a horse. Equestrian vaulting and mounted games add a spark of extra fun and new experiences in horsemanship. Cowboy chapels demonstrate biblical principles through the relationship of horse and rider.
