Jensen Summer Riding Program: (this is a printable page) July  9 - 13 July 16 - 20 What do we do? First we learn to be safe! Riding and working around horses can be very dangerous if certain safety rules are not followed. You must always remember that animals can be unpredictable. There are many safety rules you will learn in camp before you can ride a horse. You will be assigned to A or B group according to your riding ability, (if you have never ridden before that's okay) and you will be assigned a riding partner that will be with you all week to help each other. Every camp member will receive a notebook with some handouts, which you can take home. Most of your learning activities will be hands on (working with a horse). Monday: Safety around horses Learn to groom and tack Riding demonstration Learn parts of the horse and Horse terms Tuesday: Cleaning stalls Learn colors and markings Learn about breeds Cost of owning a horse Riding Wednesday: Misc. horse care Arts n' crafts Horseback games Thursday: First aid demos Arts n' crafts Riding Friday: Tack cleaning Braiding Show practice Please read the following information so you'll know what to bring and how to dress: 1. Bring your own lunch and drink (refrigerator available). 2. Bring a plain white t-shirt with you the first day. This will be used for arts n' crafts later in the week. 3. Wear long pants and shoes or boots with hard soles with small heels. You may bring shorts and sneakers for non-riding activities. 4. Riding helmets will be worn during all mounted activities. We will supply all helmets, but if you have one, please bring it with you. Note to parents: We do not send confirmation letters out. If you wish to confirm your spot, please call (585) 223-9508. Cost is $250/week. A $25 deposit is required to hold the spot. Be sure to hurry! Space fills up quickly.
