4-DAY SUMMER PROGRAMS:

 

SUMMER HORSEMANSHIP/RIDING PROGRAMS: 

The programs include activities designed to learn horsemanship skills, including horse care and grooming, cleaning, feeding, and basic health care.  Participants will have one mounted riding lesson per day in addition to the ground activities.

 

All programs run Monday-Thursday, 8:00 AM-2:00 PM.  You may use a school horse, or if your horse is boarded here you may use your own.  If it is feasible to transport your horse here for the program, this is a possibility; however, please discuss this with the barn manager before considering this option.  See the descriptions below. $350 per week, $325 if you use your own horse.  Deposits due by June 1. Slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Participants are new to horseback riding, or have ridden some but are still working at the walk and trot.  Suggested ages 8-12.  Participants may sign up for one or both programs.

INTERMEDIATE PROGRAM:

Designed for students comfortable at the walk and trot, working on beginning canter and perhaps crossrails.  Suggested ages 10-14.  If you’d like to sign up for the intermediate program and are not a current Clover Valley student, you will need to come take a trial lesson to ensure you will fit into this program.
