Fun, cowboy challenge style day camp.Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Our Cowboy Challenge style obstacle course is a mix of exercises designed to test the trust between horse and rider/handler. You will navigate a series of challenges—from polework footwork, obstacle drags, gate openings to bridges, catwalks, raised platforms, pedestals, a rolling bridge, and see-saw balancing. The course also features weaving through cones, barrel pushes, pool noodle sections, cowboy curtains, and a flag carrying task, along with change-of-pace exercises, one-handed rein exercises, rein backs, water tray, tarps, and podium steps for climbing up and down. Each exercise is designed to build agility, balance, and communication in a fun, friendly horsemanship challenge.
