Camp begins Sunday evening. Come and get settled. We will have dinner about 7:00pm, answer questions, discuss goals, and go over the schedule. This time is optional. If you can’t join us until Monday am that is ok.
Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday – We will have optional devotions at 7:30 am, breakfast at 8:00 am, and meet in the covered arena for horse activities at 9:00am. Expect about 3 hours of more concentrated clinic type work each day plus plenty of additional horse learning + fun activities and trail riding. The camp is quiet during the week so we have use of the covered arena, outdoor arena, trail course, and trails. We can even work on trail riding issues as they arise.
Thursday AM – is optional. We will us this time to review, answer questions, and make plans for your next steps so you know what to practice when you go home.
Each person will also receive two individual “15-minute power lessons” with Kelli.
The group is limited to 8 riders.
