Little Horse Lovers Mini Camp
We decided to make the little over a half hour drive from Whitehall to Cloverfield Stable in Nunica, Michigan for their September horseback riding session. While we attended the Little Horse Lovers Mini Camp for ages 2-8, they also offer a camp for kids ages 8-13 and Pony Tea Parties throughout the summer months!
It seemed many of the riders had attended a previous camp and were attending again. While actual horse riding time was minimal, everyone had two turns and it was a great experience for my daughter who has never really been on a horse. I think this camp is best suited for ages 5 and under and those who have never ridden.
Other activities were provided to keep the kids entertained and educate them about horses.
Things to Play:
Race stick ponies.
Find a hidden mini-horse to take home.
Swingset.
Horse toys and stuffed animals.
Facepainting.
Coloring, TicTacToe, etc.
Yard games.
Things to Learn:
What horses eat and how to feed them.
Basic horse anatomy.
How to groom (and decorate!) a horse.
How to ride on a Western or English saddle.
There will be one or two more Mini Camps in October before they end for the season, so check out their Facebook Page for more information and upcoming events!
