Schedule for

"The best part of summer. Sophia talks about it all year. She says it is better than Christmas."
--Sophia's mom, (Sophia, summer 2010)
"My girls asked to come the entire summer. They said it was the best horse experience they ever had."
S. Moore, summer 2010
"The highlight of my summer!...a great time of fun & learning.....Susan's special flair for teaching, with youth or adults, and her uncanny ability to identify the best approach for each student, makes learning very personal, while campers get satisfaction learning from each others experiences."
M. Fallon, fall '09
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. Students
will have the unique opportunity to work with rescue horses,
do ground work, and understand concepts involved in horse
training.
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.
All
profits for this organization will go toward horse rescue
and education about horses.

"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). |
