Learn to ride or improve your skills
Whether you have never ridden before but would love to learn, or you have some riding experience and would love to learn more, or maybe you joined us for our Basic Horsemanship Camp 1 earlier this summer…this camp is for you! Horses and all equipment needed are provided. Just come ready to learn and have fun!
Dusty Trails Basic Horsemanship camp is open to everyone age 6 to adult. It is a great camp for individuals and families looking for a new adventure.
During this 2-day camp students will learn the basics of riding horses. Throughout each of the 4 lessons, riders will learn and improve upon basic horsemanship skills, gaining confidence in their riding abilities through games, teamwork, and individual challenges.
Riders learn how to groom and tack up their horse, becoming familiar with the parts of the saddle and bridle, as well as learning about their horses.
Respect, self-discipline, and responsibility are just a few of the life skills also practiced during lessons.
Students will ride twice a day for two days. Clustering lessons in this way enhances learning potential and retention.
Perfect Horse Camp opportunity for families or those traveling from out of town. This camp can be attended with only a 1-night stay in North Platte. Attendees are responsible for overnight accommodations and meals. There are numerous hotels in the town.
Bonus Opportunity: For a fun extra adventure for the family, there is an opportunity to add on a river float trip on Monday between riding lessons. Choose from a tank, kayaks, or tubes and bring a sack lunch to enjoy on the lazy river float…it is an adventure the whole family will enjoy!
