My daughter Zoe absolutely loved this camp. She would have stayed there all summer. The camp taught her not just about riding horses, but what it's really like to be at a stable day after day and the hard work required to take care of these beautiful animals. We hope they continue these camps every summer.

North Gait has always provided such an amazing camp experience for our family. They are passionate about sharing their knowledge and love of horses, and our daughter has learned so much over the years about how to ride and care for our beautiful equine friends. This is their last year running the camp program, and although we’re sad to say goodbye we’re also deeply thankful to have had this experience in our community. Special thanks to Rachel, the Henderson family, and all the staff and volunteers. We will miss you!!

This was the most physically intensive camp my six year old has done and she said she can't wait to return. There was a nice blend of riding, horse education, learning the process to take care of a horse, and crafts involving horse themes (she loved decorating a frame with a photo of her on the horse in it). We definitely plan to enroll in another camp in the future.
