Horse Camp in Petaluma

A fabulous way to learn about horses, make new friends, and spend the time at a hunter/jumper horse barn. Most activities revolve around horses and horseback riding, but we also incorporate lots of other fun stuff as well. There are structured lessons each day and riders are grouped by riding ability. Horse campers learn about horse care, grooming, tacking, riding, breeds, history, anatomy, and veterinary care.

Horse Camps are Structured for Beginning to Intermediate Riders

Horse Camp is 9-2 Monday through Friday. There are two fun filled weeks of camp every summer, and spaces are limited, so sign- up early to ensure your rider’s spot! Beginner, intermediate and advanced horse camps available for riders that are 6 years and up.

(Advanced Horse Camp is usually reserved for in-barn CCF riders.)

Guaranteed to be the highlight of summer break!

Horse Camp | Fun Filled Week of Discovery

Younger riders enjoy equine related arts and crafts, while older and more advanced riders spend the afternoon learning more advanced riding and training techniques such as lunging, young horse training, working through training issues, and course design.

Class segments are targeted to riders skill level. From shoeing to vet demonstrations to riding bareback and playing games with horses/ponies, riders will gain skills and knowledge to help them develop as well rounded horseman. Horse Camp is 9-2 Monday through Friday. Kids spend the day outside, learning and having fun, not in front of the TV. Camp fills up quickly, contact us for a camp application ASAP if you are interested.
