Have fun, improve your riding skills, and make new friends at one of our summer horse camps or training clinics for riders of all ages and skill levels.
In an attempt to keep riding camps affordable, eight 3-day camps will be offered this summer ($300 each). These camps will begin with an orientation Wednesday evenings and conclude with a show for parents at noon on Saturdays. Four 5-day camps will be offered in connection with horse trials on the weekends ($500). See description of these camps below.

SPECIAL CAMPS 2009 - open to adults and kids To participate in the weekend horse trials, additional expenses will be incurred (transportation for horse, stall for one or two nights, registration fee for classes). My horse trailer only holds four horses - so first four to sign up will be able to go. Beach Trip - We will haul horses to Nehalem Bay on June 14 where there are sites for horses and campers (reservations already made). We plan to stay the whole week on the beach with riding twice a day on the beach side and/or bay side with the exception of two afternoons when we will travel to local towns to check out the attractions. Kids will all sleep together in Kozowski's teepee and adults will be spread around to keep horses and kids safe throughout the nights. We will return to Wallowa County on June 19. Campers may be picked up on June 14 in Portland area and/or meet parents there on the way home. Price is regular camp fee ($500) plus gas money to person hauling their horse ($125 last year).
