Weekly Summer Riding
Schedule
After dinner on Saturday night our Head
Wrangler, will talk with you to get a feel for what kind of
riding experience you are looking for. Usually, you
will ride the same horse all week, allowing both horse and
rider to become acquainted and comfortable with one another.
Special requests will be taken into consideration and
accommodated whenever possible.
If you would like to use a helmet and did not bring one, come
to the youth building at about 9:15 on
Sunday.
The youth counselors will be issuing them to the
children in the program, and would be happy to fit you and
any older children as well. Also, if you do not have boots or
shoes that are apporpriate for riding, we do have a
few loaners in the stables. Stop by 10 minutes or so
before the clinic, and the wranglers will direct you to what we
have.
On Sunday Morning, all wranglers and riders gather
at the arena for the riding clinic. After a demonstration
covering horse safety, riders are mounted on their horses and
taken either into the pastures or onto trails. There the
wranglers can see their riding skills to be certain they are
paired up with the right mount. The children have a clinic of
there own with the youth counselors. In the afternoon, in
addition to the regular trail ride, the option is available for
lessons in the arena with the Rock Springs wranglers.
Monday morning, we head out early for our breakfast ride,
and Thursday is our all day luncheon ride day. Both
are complete with a ranch meal brought to you on the trail
from the Rock Springs kitchen. Monday afternoon, stay around
the barn for a horsemanship demonstration. On both Tuesday and
Wednesday afternoons,
private or group lessons are available
with Colleen Wolfenson. Our wranglers will offer clinics, and
we are excited to offer Colleen's Natural Horsemanship private
and group lessons!
Unless a special ride is scheduled, morning rides are typically 2- 2 1/2 hours long and afternoon rides about an hour and a half long. Lessons are available in the arena as an alternative to the afternoon ride on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
In the evenings, we have a couple of special events
each week. On Wednesday evening is our ever popular wranglers'
drill team. This is your opportunity to see our barn staff come
together for drills and show the discipline they are trained
in.
" We really enjoyed our stay. All of the staff were friendly and responsive, and the riding was terrific- good horses, wranglers were superb - great week."
