"Every camper is required to engage in stable duties, such as cleaning stalls, feeding horses, and maintaining tack"
Why Campers Engage in Barn Chores
Participating in barn chores is a cornerstone of any reputable horse camp, offering campers essential insights into the care and effort required to maintain the well-being of horses.
This practice instills in campers the realization that being involved with horseback riding or horse ownership necessitates both responsibility and dedication.
Daily Barn Chores at Our Camp:
Upon the start of each camp week, campers are assigned a specific horse or pony for which they are accountable. Our experienced counselors or the barn manager will provide guidance as necessary.
Cleaning the Grooming Area: Similar to any riding school, we expect every rider to maintain the cleanliness of their grooming area, requiring them to sweep the area after each use.
Cleaning Stalls: Since horses cannot clean their stalls themselves, it falls upon us, as equestrians, to perform this task for them.
Filling Water Buckets: Horses can consume up to 10 gallons of water daily, during warmer months even more as this. Proper hydration is crucial for their health.
Feeding Supplements: To ensure horses receive all necessary nutrients and vitamins, which they might not get from hay and grass alone, supplements and feed are essential, particularly for working or older horses.
Cleaning Water Troughs: Water troughs are cleaned weekly to guarantee that horses have access to fresh drinking water at all times.
Sweeping Barn Aisle: As a shared responsibility, campers take turns performing sweeping duties in the barn aisle after feeding sessions. This collaborative effort helps maintain the cleanliness and order of the space, ensuring a tidy environment for all.
Cleaning Tack: After each ride, the used tack is wiped down by campers, and a thorough cleaning is conducted on the last day of camp. This process is crucial not just for the tack's appearance but for the comfort and safety of the horses during riding sessions.
Engaging in these chores is more than just maintenance; it's a vital part of learning respect for the animals and understanding the responsibilities of equestrian care.
