Since 1998, Rancho del Lago has hosted weekly summer and Holiday horseback riding camps in Briones, California. Campers ages 5 ½ to 13 learn to groom, tack up, ride, and care for horses. We are one of the only Bay Area horseback riding camps to use Welsh ponies, which are just the right size for many of our campers. Info: 925-323-0219 [email protected]

Of course we have full sized horses for our taller campers too. Our weekly camps start with the basics of “stop, go and steering.” Then we move on to riding around obstacles, learning how to post the trot, and practicing jumping position. In the latter part of the week, campers put together a routine demonstrating all they have learned and perform it for their parents and friends on Friday afternoon. Repeat campers who are more advanced have lessons in a second group so that they also continue to learn new skills.

Your children will:
-Learn how to ride our gentle ponies and horses (2 lessons per day—horse show on Friday)
-Learn about basic horse care (safety, grooming, feeding)
-Improve coordination, balance and self-confidence
-Create horse art projects and crafts
-Make new friends
-And last but not least HAVE FUN!!!!
