The Level 2 camp is a continuation of Level 1 camp focusing on laying a solid foundation for kids in horsemanship skills plus starting to develop trotting.
- Students in the Level 2 camp will review grooming and tacking if necessary. But, students are expected to be able to mostly groom and tack their own horses with help of volunteers or instructors.
- Students will often ride twice per day in the Level 2 Camp. Riding will be conducted in a formal lesson atmosphere.
- Students will have opportunities to bathe and care for their horses as if it was their own horse.
- Students will progress in their riding skills and become more efficient riders.
- Students will show off their learned skills in a more formal horse show at the end of the week.
