Christian Horse Camps
Wow - another year has passed! Well, at Majestic Arabians Ranch we
have some wonderful, fun and exciting Christian horse camps coming up for 2012.
I just wanted to say thank you to all my counsellors and workers for doing such a good job this year. We had just over 70 kids come to camp this year and it was such a succesful season.
God blessed us so very much with a great group of helpers, who loved what they did and so very much enjoyed working with the children. Thank you everyone.
I am always in need of volunteers, if you would be intrested please contact Valerie Weiss.

At Majestic Arabians Ranch we offer children a safe, fun, and loving experience in our horse camps, and in their walks with God.
In our camps the children will gain confidence and ability in learning great skill in horsemanship, how to relate to horses, controlling their horse, basic to advanced skills, tack, equipment, anatomy of the horse and much more. The children that are at the beginner's level will be learning everything by riding bare back just as I teach in my riding lessons. The children in the intermediate to advanced level will be able to ride with saddles. We will be riding three hours per day. I will be splitting the lessons into two sessions: 1.5 hours in the morning and 1.5 hours in the afternoon. Fridays are our show days where the children get to show their parents all the new skills and games that they've learned through the week. I will have little prizes for all the children for their accomplishments. Show times will be at 11:00 am, but will depend on the weather.
Extra Fun Things and Activities
We will be teaching the children gymkhana games, fun horse games, barrels, jumping (at low level beginner skills) and much more. We will be having nature walks, games, crafts, clinics, bonfires and wiener roasts. For 2011 we have new and upcoming activities for our camps.
Their Walk With God
The Question will be " What Would Jesus Do?" in these areas of their lives:
Salvation
How important is it for our children to have salvation and understanding of God's will?

Riding Lessons:
At our ranch we offer riding lessons to home schooled children, schooled children, young, old, or just needing to refresh your skills. We create a fun, safe and loving environment for the children to learn many skills in riding and horsemanship.
What we cover in our riding lessons:
- Safety around horses
- English and Western riding
- Horse tack and equipment
- Tacking up and untacking a horse
- Basic riding skills such as how to make a horse go forward, stop, turn right and left
- Jumping, Western pleasure, barrels, gymkhana, roping etc.
We start all of our students off riding a horse bareback so that the child can learn their balance and feel how a horse moves and how to move with the horse. Once I am confident that they have their balance, they can then move into a saddle and by this point the child has learned all basic skills and can move into whatever area of riding they wish. Students with some or lots of riding experience I will start off by asking them to show me what they have learned to make sure that what they have learned is safe and correct and also to move them ahead in their riding skills. Parents are also welcome to take riding lessons with their children. We supply the lesson horse, tack and equipment. Parents of children who have their own horses and would like to trailer in are more than welcome.
