NEWS FLASH! Winter Break Riding Camp!Saturday-Sunday, Dec. 29-30. Chase away cabin fever, improve your riding, and have fun with friends at a two-day winter vacation camp for riders age 8 – 15! Bring your own horse, or use one of ours, and enjoy lessons in Fancy Hill Farm’s large indoor ring.
The camp is designed for intermediate riders (e.g., Pony Club levels D2-C2) and will include two hours of small group lessons each day, as well as two hours of hands-on horsemanship instruction. Topics include “winterizing” your horse; use of gymnastic exercises in training; first aid and bandaging; feeding for different needs; and mane pulling, trimming and other “advanced” grooming techniques.
Instructors Chris Kelly and Cindy Judson have both taught riding for over 20 years to riders of all ages and abilities – from beginners to winners of prestigious state and national-level championships in the hunter, jumper and equitation divisions, as well as Pony Club and collegiate teams.
Cost: $175 for riders bringing their own horse; includes overnight stall and bedding; $160 for riders using one of our Farm horses (these spaces are limited; sign up early!) Located at Fancy Hill Farm, One Equus Loop, Natural Bridge, VA. Take Exit 180B (Fancy Hill) off of I-81; travel ˝ mile north on Rte. 11. The Farm is on your left. 15 minutes south of Lexington; 30 minutes north of Roanoke. Call for more information! (540)817-0270 or (540) 463-7378
