Did your kids like the pony ride today? Send them to Riding Day Camp OR if they are 4th grade and above, sign them up for the ultimate experience: a week at Herman’s Ranch Camp. Spend quality time at the barn each day and then join in on all of the resident camp fun too! At the end of the week, you can participate in a horse show to show off the skills you’ve gained during the week! Campers who participate at Herman’s may learn how to trot, canter, jump or even learn dressage riding…The possibilities are endless!
