HORSE CAMPS
All camps are open to current riders and patients, individuals on the waitlist, rider siblings and riders without disabilities. Individuals do not need prior riding experience to participate. Strides Horse Camps operate a 4 to 1 camper-to-instructor ratio. We strive to operate an inclusive camp that allows for success and enjoyment of each camper.
All campers are required to fill out paperwork for the day. Campers will not be able to participate alongside the Strides horses if the paperwork is not filled out.
Registration fees must be paid to reserve your loved one's place in camp. Insurance does not pay for horse camp.
