If you've been at Jump Camp before, this year takes it to a completely new height! Join us for 3 days of intense preparation for the best show season yet. Not into showing? No problem! There is LOTS of information for you too! This year's jump camp will offer online pre-classes to get everyone up to speed on the camp events, so everyone is prepared to hit the ground running. You will delve deeper than ever before into braiding and show grooming turnout tips, horse show essentials, tricks of the trade, training tips, equitation exercises, and new 2025 rule changes you'll need to know. You'll get the opportunity to judge classes, see the performance through the judge's eye, and learn how to apply winning strategies to your rides. This year's jump camp includes exercises for everyone, regardless of your level. From walk trot groundpoles to turning and burning in a winning jump off round, there is SO much to do and learn! PLUS, we will have a VERY special guest speaker joining us via zoom to inspire you all! And NO, I'm not telling!
This event is best suited to riders ages 12 and up.
Snacks and refreshments are available throughout the day, but bring a lunch and a chair.
