Horse Camps in Umatilla, Florida (Lake County)

Summer Horseback Riding Day Camp (10 miles SW of Gainesvilleb)

Let’s give your horse-crazy child an amazing week long summer day camp at Canopy Oak Trails. We’re limiting to a maximum of 8 campers/week and wearing masks when indoors, if not vaccinated. (Masks not required when outdoors.) We’re assigning saddles, helmets and bridles to each camper for the week.

Beginner to intermediate riding lessons (English, Western, bareback) in the safety of the round pen & smaller arena. Weeks for more advanced riders can be arranged, if sufficient interest.

Grooming, groundwork, mounting/dismounting, good body position & turning with legs, hips & reins, halt & back up

Close supervision in an enclosed area before riding in larger areas

Shady, wooded trail for practicing manuvers & obstacle challenges

Campers average 3-4 hours a day with their horse, riding twice each day.

High councellor to camper ratio (typically no less than 1 volunteer per 2 campers)

Inroduction to trail riding, jumping, barrel racing, pole bending, relays & equestrian games

An opportunity to learn about what it takes to own a horse

Unmounted learning: Horse safety, breeds & colors, anatomy, hoof care, nutrition, tack (saddles & other equipment)

On Friday, family is invited to attend the "horse show." Campers will present a mounted relay, a horse obstacle course & other demonstrations of the skills that they've learned.

We'll provide horses, helmets, tack, craft supplies, water & snacks. You'll provide bag lunches & your child, eager to learn everything about horses. Let us help make this summer the best ever.

M & M Equine Training provides children ages 6 to 15 with an opportunity to learn about horses and horsemanship in a fun and exciting summer camp program. Our weekly day camps are designed to benefit both the beginner and as well as students with prior knowledge and experience of horses. We believe that participating in our summer horse camp is a great way to build your child's self-confidence and help them develop good decision making skills. Attending horse camp promotes independence while learning responsibility and cooperation.

Students will learn about every aspect of the horse from grooming and tacking up to nutrition and basic care. Each week we will bring in a professional such as a veterinarian or farrier to discuss new topics about the horse. Students will have the opportunity to ask this professional questions and see first hand how to properly care for a horse.

Students will also learn the parts of the horse, common illness and diseases, breeds, proper care of tack and equipment, different riding disciplines and SO MUCH MORE! Daily riding sessions are catered to the individual needs of each student and their ability and level of experience. We focus on teaching each rider to have a balanced seat and a soft hand. Our ponies and horses are amazing teachers and will take care of each rider as they learn. How fast the individual advances all depends on that individual. The only requirement we have is a positive attitude and a willingness to learn!!

We have designed daily arts and craft activities that will continue teaching students about their equine friends in a fun and creative way. We also have several games and team building activities planned to encourage the camaraderie among campers. Students will take away memories that will last them a lifetime!... See More

Students will learn all aspects of Showjumping, along with horsemanship, compassion and teamwork. We are family oriented and welcome any age of riders to join our team! Not only will students grasp the basic concepts of everyday care but will also have a full understanding of the Care, commitment and responsibility this sport takes! Schedule a trial lesson, or try a package. We hope you join out Joyeux family!
