Junior Counselors Training Week - July 6-10
This is an exciting week for the horse Lover's soul. We focus on all aspects of horses and horse barn management. We have guest speakers throughout the six weeks of Summer. The junior counselors are also trained in this special week so they are eligible to volunteer as a junior counselor in the other summer equestrian experiences. This is the only expense they have for the entire summer.
Each JC will receive a customized Polo Shirt
We require a one-week commitment, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. till 3 p.m. Early drop-off is available at no cost. There is NO previous horse experience required - all levels of participants are WELCOME.
Each fun-filled day is a true hands-on experience of what it means to own a horse. Each participant will by paired with an appropriate horse based on their experience, temperament and personality. They will "own" their horse for the week and be prepared for a summer of learning, teamwork and fun.
Throughout the summer we have guest educators coming from all different professions affiliated within the equestrian community of CT and Mass.
Each participant will receive first aid and CPR certification at no cost through the American Red Cross by the Fire Department.
