Lessons and Training

 

WNAAA does not currently have a public lesson program, but there several area trainers who either call the Ark home or come in to teach lessons in various disciplines.  While the following list is not exhaustive, it's a good place to start.

Summer Camp 2007 Information

Why Not An American Ark and Haute Ecole equestrian will be holding two summer camps at WNAAA this June and July.  Space is limited to 12 rider/horses per camp to guarantee personalized attention for each student.  Campers will be served 3 nutritional meals, drinks, and snacks during the day; they will also be sharing rooms in the Wylie's house to ensure adult supervision at all times.

June 24 - June 29:   This camp is recommended for more advanced rider/horse combinations (Pony Club equivalent to C2 and above) interested in improving their event/jumping skills. We will have two mounted lessons daily, as well as stable management, veterinary knowledge, trailer safety, and much more.

July 15 - July 20:  This camp is open to anyone who wants to improve their riding skills and further their equestrian knowledge. We will also have swimming in the lake with horses, games, and crafts.
