This camp is extremely unreliable. I applied for the spring break camp from April 1st to April 5th. Chaparral Ranch sent me a cancellation email at 9 p.m. on March 31st, and I saw the email at midnight. I believe parents can understand my feelings right now, anger and shock. I had to start looking for a new camp for my child in the middle of the night. Chaparral Ranch's extremely irresponsible behavior makes it difficult for people to trust that they will be responsible for teaching children how to ride horses.

My son, a 13-year old, took a total of three weeks of horse camp over the summer. The staff gives a very solid foundation on riding skills, safety around horses, caring for horses as well as horse terminology. Their focus is on safety of children and horses as well as teaching the joy of riding. On Friday groups do a fun relay that reinforces all the concepts in horsemanship that the children have learned. As a treat, kids received a cookie at the end of the day. Aside from the daily riding lesson, kids get to explore this beautiful county park. Lots of birds to see. If you would like your child to learn how to handle large animals in a safe manner, then this camp is the way to go.

It was a great experience to my son. The instructors divide kids into groups and each group ride horses for about an hour. All instructors were very professional, kind and funny. For the rest of the day, kids were learning about horses, how to groom them, how to tie knots, exploring nature and playing together. The horses have very unique personalities and kids learned how to deal with each one. We will definitely be back for either another camp week or other horse riding activities.

My son attended camp last year; he was very excited to be able to ride a horse and learn about them. His first day didn't go as planned, and he got scared; we communicated with the staff at Chaparral Ranch, and they were very understanding. The staff worked closely with my son, they were very patient and helped him feel comfortable on the horse, my son had a great experience.
We signed up my son to go back to camp this summer!!
