Summer/Winter Day Camp Release Form - Student Information Form Circle K Horse Pavilion will again offer summer day camps for youths
beginning June 5th. The weekly camps will run through July 28th, and feature both ground and mounted lessons and offer instruction in the discipline areas of Western, English, Jumping, Dressage, Showmanship, Horsemanship, Halter, and Competitive Trail. Hours are from 9am to 4pm weekdays and flexible drop off and pickup hours are available for working parents. The camp promotes safe and progressive riding while allowing the camper "fun both in the ring and on the trail." We start with the ground work, which teaches safety in handling, leading, grooming, and riding. Also we cover proper nutrition and feeding of the horse, proper tack and tack care.
To be a good riding, you must know what a horse is. You must understand the horse, and why it behaves the way it does. You and your horse must become almost as one. If you understand the instincts that cause a horse to act in a certain way, you can use that knowledge to become more skilled as a horse person. The camp will cover several maneuvers witin the basic handle: walk, trot, backup, circles, stops, and lateral maneuvers. Each camper learns safety awareness, development of a secure seat, correct posture, and good riding habits. Two hours of daily mounted instructions are available for each camper with hands-on work accomplished in both the ring and on the trail. Accommodations for horse owners are also available. For more information, or to register for camp, call Margaret Martin
at 931-528-2287. Circle K is located six miles from Cookeville on Bohannon Lane, adjacent to Hidden Hollow. Private and Group lessons as well as guided trail rides are also offered. Call for more details : (931) 528-2287
