Brave Venture Farm, Inc.

This camp is focused around horses. Each student will be assigned his or her own horse or pony to care for and ride. Only students who have a sincere passion for horses, and are willing to work as well as ride and have fun should plan to attend.

Intermediate and advanced levels will study more in depth topics and for these camps we recommend attending two weeks.

Have your own horse or pony? We will field board your mount for the week at a cost of $50. Proof of current immuni-zation is required. $15/day full care.

Safety is our first priority. Beginner camp riders will have their own individual assistant. Two instructors are present at all times. All students must wear the protective headgear provided or bring their own. On Fridays we will have a guest speaker "hands on" demonstration, a field trip or mini horse show.

Our camp’s increasing popularity has forced us to accept students on a "first deposit paid" "First serve " basis". If you are a first time student with no horse experience, we recommend the beginner camp.

Returning BVF students will receive our riding level recommendation on the registration form. If you are uncertain of your riding level skill, please schedule a free evaluation lesson.
