Each camp/clinic size is intentionally kept small (4-8 students), so each student receives ample riding time and quality instruction. However, due to small class sizes, space is very limited and camps fill extremely quickly. Student to teacher ratio is at least 4:1, all instructors are screened and student safety is a priority. Students can ride a camp horse, or bring their own (with the exception of the training clinic when all the horses are supplied by Lucky W Ranch).
We offer full day sessions, half day sessions, and weekend sessions so there is something for everyone! We have set aside Wednesdays and Sundays as days dedicated to the Lord, so we do not offer any services or appointments on those days. We encourage others to take those two days a week to spend with their family in praise and prayer.
*Full Day Sessions - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
*Half Day Sessions - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
Weekend Sessions - Thursday, Friday, Saturday - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm
*Note: Both full day and half day sessions also include a show on Saturday which will be made by appointment for each group so as many family members as possible can attend (exception: Training Clinic will not have a show).
By Appointment - I can also schedule weekend sessions by appointment for a family or friend group. Please contact me if you are interested in this option.
