We offer a variety of different types of camps. See below for more information.

Show Camp

This Camp is designed for those that have had lessons on a consistent basis or own their own horse and are an intermediate rider. The first day is spent learning about showmanship, Western and English pleasure, horsemanship and equitation. The second day is spent on gaming, such as barrel racing, pole weaving, etc. The third day we hold a practice show and prep for the show. The last day we trailer up our horses and head to a local competitive show to put to practice what we learned. Call for more information or questions regarding the show camp.

Wright Way Horse Camp

June 24-27 Beginner
July 8-11 Intermediate

*ATTENTION: Camps are no longer Monday through Saturday. 2009 camps will begin on Wednesdays and end on Saturdays. Price will reflect the change. See below.

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. Pictures of previous Wright Way Camp
