24 Horse Camp Brochure File
Rolling Winds is a stable located in Groton, New York, that boards horses. The name describes the location as it is surrounded by woods where the wind blows through the trees. There are several trails through these woods for horse and rider to leisurely enjoy nature.
The Horse Camp has been offered for the last ten years. At the camp young equestrians learn about the care of horses: how to feed a horse, how to groom a horse, and how to keep records of the growth of a foul to its adulthood. Additionally, young equestrians will learn how to approach a horse, lead a horse, lunge a horse. In the advanced camp, young riders will learn about proper safety issues including clothing and position of feet in the stirrups. They will ride our trails with a guide. Additionally they will learn about proper bedding, different saddles and bridles, and how to wash a horse.
The campers do not need to have their own horse for this camp, but there are limited spaces for those who do want to bring their own horse.
