Notes:  HORSES! HORSES! HORSES! are what you get at Falcon Horse Lover Camp. In this unique program, you receive “your own horse” and literally eat, sleep and breathe horses all day, every day. Girls only, ages 11 – 15, are accepted from the beginner level up to the accomplished intermediate level. The week-long camps run from June 19 – August 13. Nestled in the woods on Leesville Lake in Carrollton, OH, Horse Lover’s Camp shares the same location as Falcon Camp but is an entirely separate program. A very limited enrollment of 8 girls (12 at end of summer), two riding rings and miles of trails, gives us plenty of room for individual instruction and group lessons.

From the first feeding in the morning until dark, activities surround horses. Campers ride about 4 hours a day with excellent horses and instructors. Ring lessons, trail rides, cross country and fun games are all part of your week. Instruction in basic skills, all gaits, horsemanship, equitation, stable management, first aid and horse health, safety, ground lessons, guest speakers and more. This program is truly designed for horse lovers who already have some basic skills and awareness.

Swimming and waterfront program are included each day. On the last day of camp, there is a mini-clinic for the family to observe. A video is made for each camper over the course of the week so the total horsemanship experience can be reviewed at home. Horse Lover’s Camp helps the basic beginner to the advanced rider. References available and ACA accredited since 1959. If you love horses, you’ll love this camp!
