Welcome to Willowbrooke Farm - Summer and Christmas Camps

Spring Break, Summer and Christmas Camps


Willowbrooke Farm offers half day and full day Summer Camp for riders at all levels, ages 6-16. (ages 6-7 to be 1/2 day only unless they gain director permission) Under the direction of Jennifer Blades & Jenny Steinmetz, you can come and have an entire week of learning and fun filled experiences. Riders are split into camp groups according to level and age, to maximize one on one learning with their camp counselors. Ride groups are generally 6-10 riders per group, and our experienced team of camp counselors give instruction according to rider level. Riders at our camp are sure to gain new and valuable riding skills whether it is their first time on a horse, or they are already jumping courses. Riders finish their camp week out with a small horse show on Friday for family and friends. Equipment needed for a safe and fun camp experience- 1. A riding style boot with a heel- google the words "paddock boot" to get an idea of correct footwear. (Cowboy type boots are also fine to start riding in)generally parents have been able to find excellent riding type boots in discount shoe stores. We can also give tack store recommendations. 2. Long pants and tall socks (to prevent saddle rubs) 3. An ASTM/SEI Approved riding helmet (helmets are available at no charge to riders if they do not yet have their own) Activities include: English Riding Indoor and Outdoor Facilities available. Two one hour lessons per day for full day appropriate to age and skill level One lesson per day for 1/2 day camp from beginner to advanced jump.
