"YOUR HORSE FOR A DAY" 

Ever dreamed of owning your own horse? Your Horse for the Day is a full-day program designed to give the experience of horse ownership. Campers will learn about feeding, stall management, grooming, tacking and bathing your horse. Participants must be able to ride independently (with instructor supervision), lead, groom and tack up (with assistance).  Students physically must be able to work with barn tools (wheelbarrows, pitchforks, hay carts), read and measure feed and supplements, be able to follow instruction, and work independently at times.

Depending on group and experience, additional instruction will be tailored to address specific interests or goals. We can provide intro to dressage, pole work, bareback riding, groundwork and liberty training, as well as braiding, clipping, polo wraps, basic TTouch and Masterson Method techniques, and yoga breathwork to calm and connect with your horse. This one-day session runs from 9am- 4pm. 

Campers must be at least 10 years old, independent and able to take care of own bathroom needs.  Fee is $300. To register, scroll down for the 2 forms needed, complete and return them to LMU.
