Sonlight Stables offers a safe and fun horse experience that will be unforgettable. A unique bond is developed by spending time with horses that can increase the whole sense of well being in a person. Trust, confidence, and responsibility are learned in the process of working with horses at Sonlight Stables. Each camper will be assigned a horse to which they will be responsible for handling, grooming and caring for that week. Campers will receive daily riding lessons and ground lessons. They will learn about caring for horses, breeds, colors, parts of the horse and markings. Campers will have the opportunity to ride Western and English, play games on horseback, go trail riding, perform in a show, and much more. All lessons are taught with a balance of fun and education by trained instructors. Other activities at camp will
include Challenge courses, slip and slide and crafts.
