Sitter in Archer, Florida

This summer why not treat your horse-crazy kid to a week long summer day camp at Canopy Oak Trails?! There will be presentations (in the air conditioning or outdoors) on horse breeds and colors, farrier work (hoof trimming and horseshoeing), equine nutrition, horse care/grooming, tack (saddles, bridles, and such), groundwork, jumping, and more. Campers will have the opportunity to learn a little about what it takes to own a horse by helping feed, groom, provide hoof care, and tack up a horse, as well as muck stalls and clean water troughs. Most campers will spend an average of 3-4 hours a day with their horse, riding twice each day. They'll learn to ride safely, under close supervision in an enclosed area before riding in larger paddocks or on the trails. Indoors they can learn to draw horses from a professional artist and make crafts projects like decorate a real horseshoe or paint a miniature wooden horse. Each student will decorate their own folder which will contain pictures and information on the topics that they will learn. On Friday, family is invited to attend the "horse show." Campers will present a mounted relay demonstration, a horse obstacle course, and more. We will provide horses, tack, craft supplies, water, and snacks. You will provide bag lunches and your child, eager to learn everything about horses. Together we will make this summer the best ever. Please call with any questions that you might have 352-443-... Weekly Sessions: Monday - Friday, June 1 - July 31 9am - 5 pm Ages 6 - 16 $300/week, with a $25 discount for multiple children or multiple weeks.
