We just finished Spring Break camp, and – BOY DID WE HAVE FUN! At this camp we had a mixture of beginner campers and advanced campers. For several of the beginner campers, it was their very first chance to ride a horse, much less brush them paint them (yes – paint them), groom them, saddle them, and even help feed them! It also seemed to be the week for baby animals as we have three batches of baby bunnies that got spoiled rotten by the campers. We also got to spend time with some new puppies and our young goats.
Advanced campers were in for a special treat as we have a new pony (Junebug) at the barn that is in for training. Alex and Allie were able to sit on Junebug’s back, and by the end of the week, Junebug was trotting under saddle. Training a new horse can be VERY exciting – even for the advanced kids who have spent so much time at the barn, you’d think they’d seen it all. Junebug is not only adorable, but very smart and sweet and was a wonderful experience for the advanced campers. 
Now we are prepping for our spring horse show (April 25th), a dressage show (April 18th) and of course – summer camp!
This year, summer camp will feature more horses and more animals. Beginner campers can start out attending for a week of camp for $175. This includes a trail ride, time with all of the animals (goats, pigs, ducks, chickens, bunnies, and more), lots of games, and new this year – movie time on our 109″ projection screen!
For those who want more of a horse experience, 3 additional lessons can be purchased for $50. This gives the campers more one on one time with the instructor to learn more about control of the horse.
For those who want to attend camp, but are feeling the money/ time crunch – we offer day camps all summer for $50 /day.
Advanced camp will start June 15th and will feature horse jobs. Many kids want to have a career with horses, but few understand what that entails. This camp will introduce campers to several equine related jobs and list the ups and downs of doing what you love.
Camp starts June 8th. If you’d like more information about camp, visit http://www.rrranchlithia.com/Camps.html You can call 813-546-9862 or email us for more information hollywinkeljohn@yahoo.com.
