Barn Responsibilities at Camp

 

All campers participate in age-appropriate, supervised barn responsibilities as part of learning proper horsemanship, teamwork, and daily horse care.

Why do campers have to do barn chores?

Barn responsibilities are a meaningful part of every well-run horse camp. They help campers understand the daily care and effort that goes into keeping horses happy, healthy, and safe. Campers also learn that horseback riding and horse ownership come with responsibility, respect, and routine care.

 Each camper is assigned a horse or pony at the beginning of the camp week and is supported by counselors or barn staff at all times.

Barn responsibilities may include:

• Keeping grooming areas clean and organized after use

• Assisting with feeding and watering routines under supervision

• Light, age-appropriate stall help alongside counselors

• Sweeping barn aisles and shared spaces after lessons

• Cleaning and caring for tack to ensure horse comfort and safety

Tasks are always adjusted to each camper’s age and ability, with safety and positive learning as the top priorities.
