Greetings to all Campers:

The Des Moines Equestrian Center is providing day camps for Children ages 9 to 15. Classes will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the dates shown below. If registered for camp on or before April 1, 2005 the cost is $100.00. Registering after April 1, 2005 the cost is $150.00. Upon receipt of your registration, you will receive a confirmation letter and an additional form/waiver to complete. There is limited space available, so registering early will ensure your desired week.

During these day camps your child/children will learn many things about horses and about horsemanship. The educational portion of our camp includes looking at different breeds and identifying different parts of the horse, saddle and bridle. The activity portion of our camp includes campers being assigned a horse for the week which will teach them how to care and groom, correctly halter, saddle and bridle their horse. Your child/children will also learn and experience how to correctly clean and care for a horse stall. Once they have mastered the ability to mount and dismount and use correct riding posture, campers will begin walking and trotting with their horse. We have over 400 acres for the campers to explore with their new found knowledge and experiences!

We are conveniently located on the Southeast side of Des Moines, just past the Jim Cownie Soccer Complex. In addition to our camps for kids, our well rounded facility offers trail rides, hay-rack rides, bon-fires, riding lessons for adults or children, birthday parties, and family or corporate outings.

For any questions please call, Julie Golay, Manager or Marsha Wittmuss, Assistant Manager.

Thank you and I hope to see you this summer.
