SUMMER — Kid’s Camp Photos

To see more about the camps, click here and sign up for 2021!

A Silver Stables event held at Summerwind Marchadors in Pagosa Springs CO. D.j. Sims, the instructor, tailors the camps to the interests and riding abilities of the students. The first day is matching the horse and rider and sometimes trying 2 or 3 horses before we have a fit! Then the students get to know the horse they will be riding for the majority of the time – in the arena, on the meadow course and out on trails.

  • Artemis do Summerwind
  • Caboclo da Piedade
  • Ceasar do Summerwind jumping on the meadow course
  • We did more than just ride – tubing on the San Juan!
  • The group out for a trail ride
  • Coming home – Caesar, Koyote, Artemis
  • Caboclo coming home
  • Artemis coming home

Working equitation classes

Amy Star will be our instructor here in Scottsdale on selected Sundays to teach us the basics of dressage and ease of handling parts of working equitation.

Here are the dates:

Feb 9, Mar 8, Mar 29, Apr 12 and May 3.

Working Equitation is a fast-growing sport competition which accepts any breed, any style of tack and all levels of horses and riders.

The sport teaches a variety of skills and the horse and rider team are judged on the quality of movement and execution of the tasks. We are learning and growing with the horses.

Contact Lynn to join in.
