"...the highlight of my summer! ...a great time of fellowship, fun and learning! ...Susan's special flair for working with adults and her uncanny ability to identify gaps in their knowledge for their horses, makes learning very personal while campers get great satisfaction from learning from each other's experiences." --Mary Fallon

Camps at Icssoma Farm Llc offer an opportunity for students to receive individual attention in a carefully designed program. The program is tailored to safely build participants skills, strengths and confidence while having an opportunity for focused work on areas that need development. Camp is limited to 8 students at any one session. Because of our individualized attention, any session is suitable for first time riders through 3rd level dressage and/or training level eventors. We will provide morning snacks for all campers. We ask that you send a healthy bag lunch.

"Thanks for sharing your barn and horses with us each week. I know it takes incredible passion and commitment to run an operation like yours and we feel really fortunate to have you there. In additional to how much fun we both have there, I really love the 'barn' environment for Lila. I think its one of the healthiest places kids can be throughout their childhood and beyond. And I can't say enough about how much I'm enjoying being back with horses. Getting Lila started with horses is as much a blessing for me as it is for her.

Thanks for everything,
Ben"

Each full day of camp, students will receive a private or semi-private lesson and a second ride or hands on lecture. Lessons will be geared to campers level of experience. Beginners needs will cover topics ranging from leading a horse, properly tying, grooming, mounting, identifying horses and basic horse care. More advanced topics will include first aid, horse psychology, recognizing problem indicators and addressing them before they develop to a difficult behavior with the horse. Additionally, lunging, long reining and much, much more. Campers will be involved with the full care of one to three horses, including feeding, grooming, safety, tacking up and untacking. Daily riding lessons will cater to the individual’s skill and ability, including basic riding skills, as well as groundwork, dressage, jumping, vaulting and trails when appropriate.

Camp is not just for children either. Those young at heart can take part in a special adult camp, as well as teens (as approved by the instructor).
