It's time to plan summer! Mountain View Ranch is offering $200 discounts for Vermont residents on all riding camps! Check out all the camp details at www.mountainviewranch.biz. Also on offer are some great deals on Riding Lesson Packages - check out the options below. Riding at the MVR is perfect for horse crazy kids, because it's all about horses, horses and more horses!
During Riding Camp, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., your child is immersed in the world of horses learning about, working with, and riding horses in a fun and safety conscious environment. Our programs not only develop riding skills, but also enhance self-confidence, responsibility and horsemanship skills. Each rider learns to feed, groom, and care for his/her "own" horse safely and enjoys trail rides and lessons every day.
At MVR the focus is on developing a strong connection between horse and child. Most children already come with an innate love and interest in horses; MVR takes that attraction and helps them build a confident connection based on trust, respect, empathy and appreciation for the special horse they call their 'own'. By the end of camps and lessons, kids have bonded with their mounts and learned a lot more about teamwork and the wonderful world of horses.
Something new this year is the Camp Junior Wrangler Program. This program is built into each riding camp, children 15 years old and older are eligible to participate. It is designed to teach wrangler skills such as working with ranch guests, assisting in trail rides and riding lessons, having responsibility for guest horses, horse handling training, minor veterinarian skills, feed and stable management programs and mentoring younger riders. Once this program is successfully completed, participants will be eligible to apply as Junior Wranglers at Mountain View Ranch. If interested, please call (802) 293-5837 or visit www.mountainviewranch.biz for more details. Mountain View Ranch is located at 502 Easy Street in Danby, Vermont.
