Hantesa Resident - Ranch
If horses are your passion, you have to try Herman’s Ranch! No special experience or equipment is necessary. Campers spend an hour and a half each day in English style riding lessons (weather permitting) honing riding skills at any level. Beginners learn the basics such as starting, stopping, and guiding their horse. More experienced riders work on posting, trotting, cantering, and even jumping for advanced riders. Your time at the ranch includes training in grooming, horse care, and barn management with certified staff. Traditional camp experiences such as swimming, cookouts, and campfires round out your resident week.
