Description

The Nassau County 4-H Young Riders Club is hosting an exclusive introduction to horses day-camp experience! Limited to 16 youth ages 8-13. Is your child interested in horses but you're not sure where to start in getting them involved? This event is a wonderful starting point for all young horsemen and women! Our knowledgeable 4-H'ers are eager to teach your child some fundamentals about horses and have a ton of fun too. Check in starts at 9:30 am and will conclude at noon. All parents must in-person check in youth. We will start with a brief equine safety talk then lead small groups through 4 rotations led by 4-H members and screened adults. The four sessions will include: how to groom a horse and put on their tack/equipment, a few crafts to bring home (for both boys and girls!), learning to read and ride patterns, and a 20 minute introductory riding lesson from an experienced 4-H rider! If time allows we have bonus activities. Participants must wear closed-toe shoes and a helmet while working with horses. Boots are suggested and helmets will be provided. Please wear jeans and t-shirt (absolutely no spaghetti straps, tank tops, sandals, or shorts). This event is outside so please dress weather appropriate. Lunch and a water bottle must be brought for each attendee. We will have extra water available. Parents are welcome to stay or drop off. 9:30-10 arrival, introductions, get into groups of 410-10:20 station 110:30-10:50 station 211-11:20 station 311:30-11:50 station 41:50 -12 Wrap up & GamesIf you have any questions contact our office at 904-530-6353!
