Annual Horse Camp and Leadership Programs
Summer activities start at the beginning of June with the annual Youth Horse Camp. Participants in this week-long camp focus on safety, how to care for horses, groundwork, and riding skills. Campers are encouraged to continue to come to the ranch throughout the year for group rides, for horse training/care clinics, and to volunteer caring for the horses.
Youth volunteers are important and we strive to provide opportunities for them to grow in horsemanship and leadership skills. The youth program focuses on ethics engendered by the “Code of the West”.
