2008 Summer Riding Workshops Come join the fun! GayLee Stables is now offering a fun and exciting summer workshop which teaches children how to care for horses while improving their riding skills. Workshops run throughout the summer with a choice of dates: JULY 14-17 ~ JULY 28-31 ~ AUGUST 4-7 ~ AUGUST 18-21 Each week's program runs Monday-Thursday from 9-3. Students will be assigned a horse each day and will receive 1-2 lessons each day. After riding there will be a daily discussion and lesson on the different topics which then will be applied, hands on for the remainder of the day. There will also be games, treasure hunts, nature walks,arts and crafts and other fun activities relating to information being studied. Items covered include: Stable care for horses and daily barn management, good grooming techniques, learning the different types of equipment and tack and which types of horses it is used on, how to tack up and keep tack clean, safety around horses and the barn, general first aid for the horse and rider, and how to prepare for a horse show. GayLee Stables has a wide range of horses to match every skill level from beginner to experienced. The beginner will be matched with a mount that will build confidence, while the intermediate and advanced riders can enjoy the challenge of working with show horses. If you can't arrive by 3:00 to pick up your child, for a small fee of $20. per hour we can give your child some additional horse experience in the late afternoon helping with evening chores until you get here. However, you must pick up your child no later than 6:00 pm. Due to the difference is diet restrictions we request parents provide their child with a lunch and snack for each day. Please no carbonated soft drinks. Bottled water or gatorade drinks only. The cost of the week long program is $450 per child per week. All applications must be received by June 20 in order to secure a place for your child. There will be a maximum of 10 children per session and acceptance is on a first come first serve basis.
