We provide camps and equine related programs during the year for adults and children alike. There is a place at Ivy Rock Farms for all types of riders and horse lovers. We sponsor many different programs to get people who loves horses to become a part of something they really enjoy. Below is information on current camps and programs. Contact us to learn more about any specific program you might be interested in.
The Saddle Club is a fun, educational after school program for students who love horses and ponies! At the Saddle Club, kids of all riding experience between the ages of 8 and up, will use equine exploration to engage in activities that build self-confidence and awareness, a sense of responsibility, decision-making skills, and social cooperation. Students will learn topics such as equine care and first-aid, breeds, equine behavior, feed and nutrition, equine anatomy, various riding disciplines, and more, all in a safe, positive, supportive and respectful environment.
This is a very economical way to explore the first lessons that all horsman must learn. We begin with exploring the basics of grooming, foot care, saddling, and handling horses safely, while on the ground. Students progress to advanced studies like first aid, horse science and anatomy. These workshops are wonderful for parents of riders or adults that wish to expand their education.
We also offer merit badge workshops for Boy/Girl Scouts and Brownies. Contact us for details.
Are you getting back in the saddle? Have you watched your children ride but never dared to jump on yourself? These groups are wonderful for our adult riders. Meeting Tuesday and Friday nights, our adults have an opportunity to ride, have fun, and enjoy the company of other adults. Riders are of all levels and disciplines. It is a super flexible group and you can pop in when it is most convenient for you.
