“Own A Horse” at Legacy Stables Summer Camp

At Legacy Stables & Karin’s Horse Connection we love to share our little slice of heaven with anyone who seeks to experience the joy of a human-horse connection.

We offer horse lovers a safe, relaxing and family friendly environment to learn and make memories. While we cater mostly to new and inexperienced riders, we serve all ages and skill levels.

Our highly qualified and experienced staff works with over 28 well-trained, gentle ponies and horses.

‘Own-A-Horse’ Camp offers a hands-on horse experience for all horse lovers! In a safe, structured atmosphere, students will learn what it is like to own a pony or horse.

While having FUN at the stables they will learn all aspects of horse care including, feeding, grooming, safety, how horses think, stable management, and more! Kids will ride the horses every day in a variety of disciplines. At the end of the week they will earn an award.

Topics covered throughout the week include:

•Safety on and around the horse
•Horse Psychology – what makes a horse tick?
•How much does a horse cost?
•Help, my horse is sick!
•Various riding disciplines and the differences
•Feeding and general horse care
•Different breeds, colors and markings
•And more
