Meadowvale Farm

MARCH 15th to 19th, 2010 

We are combining the fun camp experience with the opportunity for riders to go through all the components of the Ontario Equestrian Federation (OEF) levels including examinations. The rider levels are a recognized standard across Canada.

Each day riders will receive hands on horsemanship lessons including topics such as horse care, tack, horse anatomy and much more as well as riding lessons focusing on the flatwork and jumping skills required for the appropriate riding level standard. Our goal is to provide a safe and fun learning environment following the OEF riding levels framework.

Classes are taught by EC certified coaches and certified examiners.  A great introduction to riding and horse care for any level of rider.

Riders may participate in either a 1/2 day or full day program. Those who choose to participate in the full day program will participate in an additional 1/2 day of practicing their skills and participating in both mounted and unmounted activities and games.
