HORSE CAMP!
Poplar Ridge is a family-run horseback riding stable that offers children's week-long day camps during the summer. The goal of our horse camps is to give young horse lovers confidence in the basics of horsemanship in a safe, fun environment. Our weeks are jam-packed with a wide range of activities that help our campers learn about all aspects of the horse world! Our camps are designed to be both educational and lots of fun! We have 8 horses in our barn including several that we've used for the past 15 years as part of camp. Our campers form great bonds with Rocky, Missy, Princess, Mater, Sarah and Tetley and tend to come back year-after-year to visit them! In addition, we have Sadie who gave birth to Derby, a beautiful little filly, on May 3rd of 2014!
