Different horses everywhere, are trained with different horsemanship methods. We decided to outline the differences between English & Western Riding. 

Horses understand different cues, for different disciplines. It is imperative that horses used for schooling purposes are not recruited for other activities within the Stable such as ranch work, trail rides, etc.

In the English disciplines, the rider takes a direct contact with the horse's mouth via the reins and uses the reins as part of the "aids" (along with the seat and the leg) for speed and direction.

In the Western disciplines, western riding horses are ridden on little or no contact and the rider uses his seat, his weight and neck-reining to give aids to the horse.

Camp WildHorse offers programs throughout both the resident camp as well as day camp that involve campers in the daily responsibility of caring for a horse. From vet visits, to hoof picking and stall mucking, here at camp we want to find joy in everything we do. 

Working From the "Ground Up" with horses requires a calm and patient demeanor. Whether we are working with a veterinarian to float a horses teeth, help with farrier procedures, or perform horsemanship safety tasks, your daughter will know exactly how much work and dedication it takes to keep a healthy and happy horse.

Our Mission is to engage your child's love of horses. We create programs through riding and caring for horses that will improve your daughter's confidence & self esteem. Your daughter will experience responsibility in working as a team member. 

She will also learn how to set her own personal goals and create a plan for accomplishing those goals. Positive attitude and 

self confidence are created through accomplishments which will enable your daughter to try new things and succeed in any 

endeavor.
