Pleasant Valley Ranch Horsemanship Camps…
…run on a weekly basis Monday through Friday, 9am-3pm. Campers will receive both ground and mounted lessons twice a day from well qualified instructors in groups of no more than 6 kids. Each camper will have their own horse to care for and ride consistently throughout the week. Campers will receive highly structured western riding lessons in our indoor and outdoor riding arenas, as well as kick back and enjoy adventures on the trail. Packed lunch and boots are required. Riding helmets will be provided. A minimum of 8 campers are required to run a camp, so bring a friend!

Beginner Horsemanship Camp
Learn the essential horsemanship principles and put them into practice as you safely care for and handle horses on the ground. Study the parts of the horse and western riding equipment. Halter, lead, tie, groom, and tack your own steed. And of course, spend hours in the saddle refining your ability to confidently control a horse up through the trot. Campers who successfully complete all beginner level requirements will be invited back to the Intermediate Camp this summer at a discounted rate.
