Horse Camps in Bradenton, Florida (Manatee County)

Do you have an interest in horses, but not a lot of experience handling or being around them? Or maybe you want to build a closer bond with your horse? Magic Meadows is a small, private horse boarding farm located East of I-75 in beautiful Sarasota. We offer private lessons for adults or kids who are looking for a safe introduction to the wonderful world of horses. Our approach is unique - this is not a typical horse camp - we teach the basics in an in-depth, practical way in order to give you the best foundation for working with horses. Too often, the basics are glossed over or discarded once riding lessons begin, but we believe the basics (communication, intention, grooming, groundwork, etc.) should be a daily practice and is how the bond deepens. If you already have horse experience, this can help refine your everyday skills or achieve results like never before. We focus on the basics from the ground that lead to success in the saddle. Once in the saddle, you will continue learning with a safe, solid foundation in all things horses.

Some of the topics covered include: horse/human psychology, safely grooming and maneuvering horses on the ground, techniques for handling fear, how to teach a horse something new (or change a habit), how to prepare for horse ownership, how to soften your riding aids to get the most peaceful yet tuned in rides, how to play with your horse, how to find relaxation, how to harness and use energy, etc.

If there is something specific you want to do (or not do), work on, or experience - we can tailor the session to your needs and desires if possible. Just ask!

Your instructor, Rita, is a horse professional who loves to study Ryan Rose, Warwick Schiller, Mark Rashid, Buck Brannaman, and countless other trainers with a similar mindset. She believes that if it works, great, and if you can get the horse as relaxed as possible and it still works, then that's perfection. You've heard of horse whispering, she's more into horse listening with a sprinkle of horse whispering.

We love to share our love for horses, as well as the peaceful environment here at Magic Meadows. The horses, goats, chickens, and cats we care for are able to enjoy their lives as they should - so when you interact with them, you'll feel the noticeable difference that a happy animal brings to your life. Our focus is education - but you'll most likely leave the session feeling a therapeutic afterglow.
