Session Info

​

If “Horses with a Side of Summer Camp” sounds like an ideal arrangement to you, and you’d rather sleep in a barn than a bunk bed, then this is the camp session for you! We’ll spend almost ALL of our time with and/or in service to the horses! 

​

Campers will be matched with a horse that they will work with consistently for the week. We’ll learn heaps about horses in general, and will spend lots of time getting to know one horse in particular, relaxing with them, learning & practicing bodywork, groundwork, and riding.

​

Times that aren’t spent directly with the horses will be spent in service to them: feeding them, doing fence maintenance, scrubbing water troughs, unloading & stacking hay in the barn. There will be some options for siesta down-time after lunch, for crafting, pond or slip-n-slide time, reading, napping, etc., but all of our activity times will be horse-centered in some way.

So that we can hit the ground running and get the most out of each day, this camp is only open to returning Ekone campers—we want to spend less time with orientation, and more time with horses! And while this camp is a good choice for more advanced riders, all skill levels are welcome and will receive personalized coaching.  

​

Note that speed is never our primary goal at Ekone. While we MAY work at faster speeds in this camp than other sessions, our priority is always the well-being of the horses, good communication between horse and rider, and safety, learning, and fun!

​

***All skill levels are welcome *but* Wrangler Camp is designed for returning campers who have previously spent time at Ekone Summer Camps.***
