CFTC is located between Gaffney, Jonesville and Spartanburg, SC -call for directions.. Our Horse Day Camp teaches Horseback Riding, Games on Horseback, Horse Care, and More!  Our Day Camp is a fun filled week of horses. Our campers groom, saddle, learn all about horses and ride. Campers that spend the full week, that have never ridden before, will impress you with their horsemanship skills. It is wonderful to see our campers learn to halter, lead, groom, saddle and ride in one week. Our Horse Day Camp is for beginner riders as well as advanced riders. Our focus is; first on safety, second on fun and last, but not least, is learning.  

Ideal for beginners or bring your own horse. 

Horse Day Camp Activities

We realize one size does not fit all when it comes to riding! We carefully take age, size, and previous riding experience into consideration as we plan a rider’s lessons.

• Two riding periods- Daily!  Campers have one formal lesson and one additional riding activity i.e. gymnastics, games etc. each day.  In lessons, campers learn and practice riding disciplines such as balance, direction and confidence.
• Horsemanship- Daily!- Campers learn how to care for their horses with activities such as grooming, tacking, first aid, hoof care, nutrition and anatomy.
• Barn Chores- Daily!- Campers learn how to care for horses by participating in daily chores- cleaning stalls/paddocks, cleaning tack, feeding and barn maintenance.
• Entry level gymnastics on horseback is an excellent way for campers to build confidence and balance.
• Rain days are filled with fun activities such as paint the pony, relay races, and more. (this is only if we have a rain day-otherwise schedule remains the same)
