Camps and 4-H at Seven Oaks |
There are plenty of
opportunities at Seven Oaks to combine learning and fun!
The Montgomery County 4-H Horse Club
is based at Seven Oaks. Many of the 4-Hers are students or working
students at the barn, but not all. Everyone in Montgomery County is
welcomed to join, and the club gets larger and involved in more activities
every year.
4-Hers get together every two weeks
to discuss 4-H fundraisers, horse shows, the State show and for
educational purposes. From sit-down meetings about feed and forage
to mounted meetings, the 4-H covers a lot of information appropriate to
the 4-H age group.

Camps are held throughout the year at
Seven Oaks. There are generally six or more Summer Camps, a Spring Break Camp (if
schools let out during the same week) and one or two Christmas Camps. Call
for dates and registration, as they tend to fill up quickly.
The horses used in the camps are the
lesson horses, and except in the case of a true beginner, every camper
will get to ride every horse at least once. Even true beginners
leave at the end of the week with the skills of a long-time lesson-taker.

Camps are much more laid back than
the lesson environment, but learning is still emphasized. Riders
often advance several levels during a week-long camp. Many
walk/trotters are jumping by the Friday horse show. As well as ring
work, there is often a trail ride during the camp for advanced groups. This is
especially anticipated by the campers. |

Along
with horses, campers will also get to interact with other animals on the
property. There is a plethora of barn dogs and cats that are
"child-proof" and friendly. The donkeys are always a big
hit, and the Fainting Goat family is expecting their first offspring in
early Spring 2005. |
