All ages and levels of riders welcome, beginner (starting as young as age 3!) to advanced riders. Bring your horse or use one of our safe, sane, reliable, lesson horses. We strive to provide a safe, fun and educational environment for all ages to learn and grow in their horsemanship skills. We have offered Summer Horsemanship Camps for over 12 years for youth of all ages, levels and disciplines.In all our CRE Summer Horsemanship Camps, we believe it is important to teach life skill development and personal growth as an intricate component of our horsemanship program. After conducting several educational studies on life skill development through the use of horses, we found it most effective to teach about responsibility, relationships, communication, leadership, and team work through horse safety and care; haltering, tying and leading a horse; horse behavior observation and horse anatomy; and on-the-ground horsemanship. Campers will spend time in the saddle, working on the ground with the horses and will participate in daily take home equine crafts and journaling activities. We put a strong emphasis on life skill development for youth within all of horsemanship camps and lessons.

Named one of America’s “Top 50 Riding Instructors” by the American Riding Instructors Association, Karen Ososki is a sought-after clinician with a proven ability to improve performance in equines of all disciplines, while maintaining and enhancing their mental and physical soundness. “Refined Performance Horsemanship” or RPH is the name of her unique method, developed over years of training dressage, jumping, and western horses.

Karen has found instruction to be the perfect way to combine her life-long passions for horses, learning, and teaching. As a riding instructor for over 30 years, her focus is onpromoting healthy and harmonious training and riding techniques. When you combine a horse with a centered body and mind, and a rider with a centered body and mind, the most beautiful partnership is born.
