Oneness Between Horse
& Rider
|
Experience the relaxed and natural communication
between horse and rider that allows you to reach your maximum
potential in any horse discipline--be it pleasure riding, jumping,
or the higher levels of dressage. Improved riding skills lead
to greater fulfillment of your personal riding goals, and for
the younger rider, a summer of new friends and fun!

Learn Proper Horse Care...
|
Most horse people want to learn everything
possible about the care and maintenance of their horses, as well
as riding and training skills. Merry Mount provides young riders
with both hands-on practice and classroom activities which teach
good horse and stable management. Safety procedures are part of
our everyday training and practice work.
A hard hat is mandatory. You may use one
of your own or one of the school hats. At Merry Mount, safety
is of the utmost importance.
Our trained staff is all ready to show
you a great camp experience. Our motto--"All horses all the
time"--puts lots of smiles on campers and staff faces. We
know you came to be immersed in horses, and we hope you'll be
back every summer.
Director of the Merry Mount Riding and Training Center, Marie
 Fogarty,
has been trained in classical French dressage. For over thirty years,
she has shown, taught riding, trained all types of horses, and managed
horse facilities. Besides offering riding, training clinics, summer
camp, and shows and lectures, Marie has created the well-stocked 'Tack
Shelter' equestrian shop on-site to supply the needs of horses and
riders.
Day campers will be served lunch and may
want to bring a mid-morning snack. Overnight campers will be provided
with all meals and bunk on the property.
Horses may be boarded on-site during the
week(s) of camp attendance for $10 per night. A current Coggins
test is required and it is strongly recommended that all shots
be current.
Day campers should arrive at 7:00 a.m.
and be picked up at 3:00 p.m. each day*. Overnight campers should
arrive between 7 & 9 p.m. Sunday evening and be picked up
Friday evening after our session finale! A presentation will end
the week on Friday at 6:00 p.m. All campers may participate, and
family & friends are invited. Please note that if you will
be picking up a camper before the finale, Merry Mount staff needs
to know in advance.
*Note: Young Riders camp begins at 9:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00
p.m.
