Spring Down Spring Horsemanship Camps will introduce you to the wonderful world of horses - or increase your knowledge of riding and horsemanship if you currently are taking lessons!

Ages 6 and up....everyone is welcome to come and learn about the wonderful world of horses from the hoof up!

Great camp for beginners and novice riders! My 9 yo daughter had two weeks at Spring Down and two at a different facility and she loved both! One of the other reviews said that young people being leaders in the program was a negative. Actually most of the leaders were college or high school age and very mature, if not yet natural at customer relations. Also,!patient and knowledgeable and safety-focused young teachers are perfect for younger students. They have the best balance of playfulness, energy, patience, and structure. Skilled horsey teenagers remember what it’s like to be beginner kids, which makes them great teachers They may not be the most polished in communicating with anxious parents but they generally aren’t going to let younger kids get away with any nonsense (they are, after all, horse people who by their nature don’t put up with nonsense). Finally, it’s *extremely motivating* for young kids to see teens in leadership roles. It’s also great for the teens, who will be even better teachers for the experience! Great job Spring Down team!

Questions & Answers
I agreed with the reviews. I hoping for my 2 girls to experience more time with a horse NOT doing drawings sitting in a circle most of the day. 20 mins with the horse on Monday and 30 mins on Tuesday this not what I am taking my girls for NOT happy at all for what paid for. I am looking to get my money back but the girls are looking for the next to be different if this doesn't change tomorrow Wednesday I would like to get refund it. (Summer Horsemanship Camp) -
