Advanced Show Rider Camp
August 4-7, 2010
Overnight 4-Day Road Trip to Work with Cash Lovell in North Carolina
Our advanced Show Rider Camp is truly for kids who compete in horse shows. This year, a team of riders from Equitate will do an exchange program with Cash Lovell and Team Lovell from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Cash Lovell Stables, under trainers Cash and Parker Lovell, is home to many world champion horses and riders. Riders from Cash Lovell will also be coming to Equitate to work with our very own trainers, Sheri Brandl and Sarah McClintock, during this week. Equitate is thrilled to participate in such a great opportunity!

Equitate Summer Riding Camps
Equitate offers fun and educational horseback riding camps for children ages 6 and up! Please note dates above as some camps vary in the day they start and end. Every rider at any level can benefit from camp, the things we teach, and the activities we have planned. Please note dates above as some camps vary in the day they start and end. Please call us at 262-244-7771 with any questions or to reserve a spot for your child.
Our beginner and intermediate campers will start by learning the parts of the saddle and bridle and how to properly tack up a horse. By the end of the week, when they put on a mock horse show for their family and friends, they will have learned the following things listed below. Campers learn all about horses as well as at least 1 riding lesson each day and many days they will be able to ride in 2 lessons. Plus learn about horse & barn care, veterinary science, horse training, and more. Our camp sizes are very small, usually 5-10 kids, so we can give each child a lot of indivudual attention. Plus, each camp session is unique and tailored to the individuals who attend.

- Different breeds, colors, and marking of horses
- All about horse equipment (tack) and how to care for it
