Greenbriar Equestrian Centre's horsemanship programs are open to all children ages 6 to 17. The program is designed to teach children about riding and horse care.  Whether your child is new to horse riding, or an experienced rider, Greenbriar Equestrian Centre offers an educational, safe and fun atmosphere for your child.  Our highly structured programs provide excellent training by skilled professionals, such as our trainers.  For those just learning to ride, the student will learn how to handle themselves around horses, and how to keep themselves and their horses safe.  For the more experienced rider, the finer points of equitation and horsemanship will be taught.  In addition to daily horse care and riding, students will learn about talking to, and approaching horses, using "horse language", horse anatomy and psychology, conformation, colors and markings, fitting and cleaning tack, feet and shoes, mouths and bits, grooming and bathing, safety and first aid, boots and bandages, feed and feeding, human first aid, show etiquette, stable management, riding and jumping form. The majority of the day will be devoted to the horses and horsemanship.  Periodic evaluations are made to ensure that each student has the opportunity to advance as their ability increases.  We also have lots of fun, activities, and games are planned. These activities will vary according to the students riding ability, (and the Florida weather!!), but will include activities such as: Horse Sense, Carrot Bobbing, Scavenger Hunt, Tack Test, Horse Bowl, Flour and Dime Race, Egg Race, Horse Costume Day, Parents Day, Gymkhana and Tea Party.  On Friday, the last day of camp week, we will have Parents Day with a Gymkhana and a Tea Party. Our students will have the opportunity to demonstrate to their family and friends all that they have learned at summer camp. Prizes and certificates will be awarded to the students based upon their personal achievements.  Campers must be picked up by 2 pm, unless prior arrangements have been made. An additional $10 per hour, per student will be charged for students not collected by 2 pm.  Please provide your child with a packed lunch, snacks, plenty of water and a change of clothes. A microwave and refrigerator is provided for your convenience.  Proper attire is encouraged (paddock boots, chaps and an approved helmet). If you do not have the proper attire, it is recommended that you wear long pants and boots or shoes with a heel. An ASTM/SEI approved helmet must be worn at all times, no exceptions. We do have a limited number for loan. All parents will be asked to sign our Release on behalf of their child.  Camp Booking Terms and Conditions:  If you would like to register your child for a Greenbriar Equestrian Centre camp, please fill out the following registration form and mail it to us with a non refundable $75 deposit, or payment in full.  Upon receipt of your payment we will send you a confirmation notice by mail or email.
