Horseback Riding Camp - New for 2012!

Campers will have the opportunity to take part in an exciting new horseback riding program that will be held at beautiful Bryn Mawr Farms, a 50 acre riding facility just 20 minutes from TEC. Campers will receive instruction from the friendly and experienced staff at Bryn Mawr Farms led by April Callis who rode at Sweet Briar College and has been a certified professional riding instructor since 2002.

The program accommodates riders of every level, from beginners who have never ridden a horse to experienced campers who ride regularly. Beginning riders will learn the fundamentals of hunt seat riding and receive horsemanship lessons that include how to properly groom, saddle and bridle a horse. More experienced riders will learn how to improve their equitation on the flat and over fences as well as horsemanship lessons focusing on equine nutrition, first aid and training. Their experience will culminate in a horse show in which they can showcase everything they've learned. Campers will receive five 2-hour lessons.
