Summer Camp 2009 was a great success with almost every session filled to capacity with new faces and the regular campers! We are so proud of all of the progress the campers made. The beginners from the tiny five year olds to teenagers all learned to guide, trot and post in one week. Several students had their first lessons out of the bull pen and learned to look up and guide around the big ring. The show team students continued to perfect their form and horsemanship and had tons of fun learning the barrel pattern trotting as fast as they could!

Everyone learned to clean and tack their horses. They studied the parts of the saddle, bridle and all the parts of the horse while sticking labeled post it’s on Silver. The crafts were fun with T-Shirts and visors being created and polaroids of the camers and their horses being placed in self decorated frames. The horses enjoyed the grain and molasses burritos the kids made as treats.

We are so grateful to all of our volunteers and to our grand horses all of whom worked so hard to create a fun and safe learning experience for every White Star Camper.

We look forward to answering any questions regarding Summer Camp. Please email Matthew Roberts matthew@whitestarstables.com or call us at the barn and ask for Matthew or 480-419-8010.
