Our popular camps were nearly all full for 2008, so you might want to get your reservation in early for 2009.  Those who submit their applications and deposit of $75 EARLY will not only have first choice of dates, but also be able to qualify for 2008 prices.  Reservations made after November 30th will be at the 2009 price.  Deposits are non-refundable, but if your plans change, you may change your camp reservation to another date, or use the deposit for other Hearthstone Farm lessons or activities.

For 2008, a maximum of 4 riders using only Hearthstone Farm horses will be accepted.  The others must bring their own horses, but may ride Hearthstone horses for some of their lessons.  Only 8 campers per weekend!!!

Early reservations assure your place in your first choice of dates!!!!

Quote from a happy camper -

"Please keep me on the camp/clinic mailing list.  My trainer thinks they have helped me immensely."

Need a weekend “get-away” just to focus on your riding? Would you enjoy the boost of an accelerated learning experience? Our Adult Weekend Dressage Camps are designed to help you enjoy an intensive but fun couple of days in a camp-like atmosphere! Good horses, good company, and good food, non-stop!

Mounted and unmounted sessions with International Rider, Trainer, and Judge, JAYNE AYERS allow you to immerse yourself in learning more about classical dressage theory, riding, horse management, and show ring preparation. Adult riders of any level of experience are welcome. You may bring your horse, or use one of our school masters. Make new friends, polish your skills, experience greater harmony with your horse!!

Highlights include:

· 3 Private and 2 Semi-private Lessons…carefully tailored to the fitness and achievement levels of rider and horse

· 2 Video Lessons… review one with your instructor; take your tape home

· Lectures…topics such as Training Tips, Biomechanics of Horse and Rider, Cross Training for Your Horse, Issues in Dressage Horse Management, How to Raise Your Test Scores, and more.

· Stable Management Demonstrations and Tips

· Scrumptious, healthy lunches included each day, including Welcome Lunch on Friday

· Board for your horse OR use of our School Masters OR a combination of both for lessons INCLUDED in the price – If your horse is not able to help you experience what you need to feel, one of ours may be just right.
Feel you or your horse are not fit enough for an intensive program? Camp may be perfect for you! We will tailor the work to YOUR needs, not a group standard. We enjoy helping riders who take time to develop their skills. But if you want more of a challenge, just let us know.! We’ll help you learn while you are here and give you homework to keep you busy afterwards. Campers are reporting immediate gains in training & show ring performance after the weekend with us.

“Campers” may arrive any time Friday morning to settle in and explore the farm. Camp starts at noon with a welcome lunch. First lessons start soon after, with videotape to review in the evening with your instructor.

Saturday and Sunday each person receives both a private and a semi-private lesson each day. The focus may be on making your communication with your horse more clear, working to move your horse up to the next level, developing a better seat, preparing for the show season – you decide!

Save lots of room for lunch and snacks. Our gourmet chef will whip up new light, healthy, but plentiful surprises each day for you to enjoy in the morning and at our sit-down lunches.

Take advantage of fine local B & Bs, hotels, and restaurants to enjoy the pool, hot tub, and great dining in the evening. Or if you REALLY want to camp, the Kettle Moraine State Park is only 2 miles from the farm, complete with lake, beach, hiking trails, horse trails, mountain bike trails, and lovely scenery.

Small group camps make it easy for us to be flexible. Horses coming a long distance may stay Thursday and Sunday nights, for a slight additional fee. Our Sunday schedule can be arranged to accommodate those who have a long drive or afternoon airline flights. Just let us know what you need.

The cost is only $500 for you and your horse, and includes all Farm activities, stabling, yummy lunches and snacks, use of school masters, and 3 days of non-stop instruction, learning, and fun. ONLY 8 CAMPERS PER SESSION!!
