Boys and Girls 4-11 yr old
We are getting ready for an exciting summer with all our four-legged friends, here at Peaceful Valley Ranch. Because of our show schedule we are only able to offer 6 weekly camps this year. All of them will be fun and a little different, so we hope that each one of you will find what he, or she, is looking for. We also welcome ponies 48" and under, if you want to bring your friend. And for those who cannot attend a full week, we also reserved some single days at the ranch throughout the summer.
Please note that due to the small size of our ponies, beginners MUST weigh less than 70lbs to attend.
