This camp will run from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and is open to Intermediate and Advanced riders, ages 10 & up. Riders should be comfortable cantering a course of jumps. We will be working to improve jumping skills, and activities will concentrate on skills needed to show over fences. Riders will also be learning about the following:

• Course design, riding distances, and setting a safe and correct course.

• Horsemanship skills needed to show at the VHJA level, such as :

• Braiding & clipping

• Prepping and loading horses onto a trailer

• VHJA show rules and regulations.

• Show ring etiquette

• Riding with rhythm and balance to improve performance

Theses are just a few of the more specialized topics we will be covering in this camp. Our goal at this camp is to give riders the skills and the confidence they need to attend a jumping show. Enniskerry Farm will be planning to attend the Twitchell Hill Farm VHJA Horse Show August 4^th & 5^th.  Attending this camp does not mean riders are required to show. Many riders simply use this camp to learn more about jumping and showing.

If campers are planning to attend that show we will help them prep horses on Friday, and if that is case, the camp may run late on Friday. The final class list for that show should be available by March 1^st. We will not be able to estimate costs for the show until the class list is available. If stabling is available, horses may stay overnight. If you are interested in having your child attend the show, please let me know and I will make sure you get a copy of the class list when it becomes available. If campers would like to use one of our horses for the show, they should sign up as early as possible so they can get to use their preferred horse.

Price will be $325.00 for this session. This price does include the $100.00 deposit required to guarantee your child’s place in this camp. There are additional forms required to attend this camp.
