A laid back beginner horse day camp for youth ages 5-9, OR for those older individuals who desire a shorter and more laid back activity. This camp is for beginner and novice riders who are small but mighty. The program runs 3 days from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Campers will not only learn about horses, but will also learn how horses think and how horses can teach the camper. Having fun and being safe while leading, saddling and riding a horse are a top priority. The day will include horseback riding along with other fun activities in the barn like horse chores, crafts, and bonding with fellow campers on ground work training.

- There are multiple levels of Peewee Horse Day Camp. Each level is designed to match your camper's current proficiency, and allow them to master certain skills before advancing to the next level. Upon completion of each level, campers will receive a certificate detailing the skills they have learned.
- Extended care campers will NOT be riding horses, and will need to either bring a quiet activity or expect to be helping with barn chores. They should also bring extra snacks and water. PLEASE make sure your camper understands that there is absolutely NO riding involved and that they need to have a quiet activity available, as we will not provide any other activities for extended care campers.
- Campers will need a True Heart Equine T-Shirt to wear; if you have one from a previous year, it can be reused. Otherwise we sell discounted shirts for $15 (required at time of purchase & also available at check in).
