★★★★★Chanda WoodsSuch an amazing group of people and a great experience for our daughter. Cannot say enough awesome things!
★★★★Pat ZeimetIF you haven’t try it, let your kids be the 1st I’m a Dad of a daughter that went to Horse & pony Camp My 1st thought when My wife & daughter approach me After coming home from a 4H Meeting with it was ( that’s a waste of money) I’ve been around Horses All my life. I can teach her how to ride and anything else she wanted to know. After She came home from camp that 1st year and told me how much Fun it was and what she learn about Skills of riding, Making new friends for life and was able to put a Saddle on Her horse without my help that was the best money We ever spent. She wanted to go again. We said yes. I then thought, I wonder if they could use help? So now I will be going on my 4th year helping at camp and each year I learn something new. What a Fun and enjoyable Horse & Pony Camp for all. Sincerely: Pat Z
