2014 Fox Pointe Farm Summer Horse Camps

Camp programs for junior riders of any riding level who wish to improve their skills, strength, confidence and riding foundation. Our summer programs offer close personal attention in a small group setting with between 6 and 10 riders per session. Riding lessons are taught in ability-based groups. Students may bring their own horse or enjoy one of our farm-owned horses and ponies. Instruction takes place in one of our two riding arenas. Students receive quality instruction from trainer Colleen Seely who is active in the industry through coaching at AA and VHSA horse shows, as well as coaching a Zone 3 Interscholastic Equestrian Association teams. She is also an active USEF/USHJA/VHSA member and judges local VHSA horse shows. Colleen has 12 years of experience teaching and managing successful summer equestrian camp programs and has served as a mentor to her working students that help manage daily farm activity.

Week-Long Residential Camp for Girls (Ages 9-17)

This program is for junior riders ages 9-17 of any riding level who wish to improve their skills, strength, confidence and riding foundation. Each day is structured around riding and learning about barn management and horse care. Students ride twice daily in ability-based groups and practice their teamwork skills as they clean stalls, water, feed and turn out the horses. Additional educational opportunities are provided through mini-clinics that are built into their schedule and teach students important horsemanship skills that they can put into practice at the farm. A busy day requires down time and rest and we incorporate this into our program activities such as swimming and going out to lunch. We often spend our evenings together watching a movie or sitting by the campfire. We end each session with a equitation horse show to include a judge and ribbons, as well as invited in-house competition.

(1) Flatwork (Walk, Trot, Canter): Emphasis is placed on learning proper position, balance, use of rider aids, understanding form and function, and a variety of additional flatwork principles and techniques for rider strength and improvement. The exercises and lesson plans change daily, exposing students to many different ways of practicing each technique. Riders will work over ground poles, practicing beginner jumping skills.

(2) Flatwork/Jumping: Emphasis is placed on learning proper position, balance, use of rider aids, understanding form and function, and a variety of additional flatwork principles and techniques for rider strength and improvement. Students also fine-tune their jumping skills (18" - 2'6" depending on rider level) as they practice and learn numerous strategies to improve rider position, eye and their ability to keep a consistent rhythm.
