Saddlehorns (STARS Program Level 1)

Saddlehorns is the first level of the STARS program and is available to girls in 5th through 12th grade. This program teaches girls about grooming, leading, equine nutrition, horse colors, and riding skills at a walk. Basic horse safety is emphasized. Girls will rotate through four sessions, including one riding session in the arena. The program begins with a Friday evening orientation. Rotations occur all day on Saturday. The program finishes with troop photos with the horses on Sunday morning.

Friday evening check in begins at 7:00PM and runs until 8:00PM. Orientation for both girls and adults starts at 9PM on Friday. Troops can check out at 10AM on Sunday after camp kapers and troop photos are completed.

Individual girls with a parent/guardian chaperone or troops with the required number of safety ratio are required to attend with their girls. Participants and their adults will stay in the Wildflower cabin cluster which has climate-controlled cabins and cook their own meals outside under the outdoor kitchen shelters at the Wildflower cabin cluster. Meals are not provided.
