HORSEBACK RIDING CAMP
Boots or hard soled shoes with a definitive heel. Paddock style boots or cowboy boots are good. Sneakers and rubber rain boots are not appropriate footwear for riding. Camp has boots in most sizes to loan.
Crew socks. Low cut or ankle socks aren't long enough and can lead to riders getting rubs or blisters from boots.
Long Pants, leggings or jeans are required for riding. Campers can change into shorts for other activities. See more
LOST AND FOUND
It is your camper's responsibility to keep up with the items they bring.
