2-Day Horse Camp - Basic Western Horsemanship

Youth Camp, kids enjoying the great outdoors with their horsesHas your child ever dreamed of riding and caring for their own horse? Let them come and experience the excitement of horsemanship and outdoor fun this summer at the 500-acre Spotted Horse Ranch in the beautiful Hocking Hills.

We will be offering a 2-day basic horsemanship program for children ages 9 - 12. Each child will be assigned their own Appaloosa horse. We will be teaching introductory horsemanship skills with a strong emphasis on safety.
