New Beginnings Farm offers Summer Camps specializing in teaching basic balanced positions and horsemanship, and in providing fun outdoor activities. This camp is perfect for horse lovers of all ages and levels who want a hands-on experience with horses. They have beginner school horses perfect for the most beginner and timid of riders, as well as intermediate/advanced horses who can school higher-level dressage movements and jump 3’3 courses. New Beginnings Farm is all about meeting individuals’ wants and needs, so they can facilitate both English and Western riding. Riding sessions will include trail rides, riding with cows, mounted games, jumping, dressage, lunge lessons, and bareback riding, depending on the camper’s riding level and desires.

When not riding, campers will learn all about horse care and participate in horse-related arts and crafts. The day is finished off with a self-packed lunch and supervised swimming. Campers with their own horse are welcome to keep their horse at New Beginnings Farm for the duration of the camp at no additional charge.
