Safety & Supervision
We know how important it is for parents to feel confident about their child’s well-being. That’s why at Apple Creek Farms:
👩🏫 All campers are supervised by certified instructors and trained staff at all times.
👧🧒 Campers are grouped by age and skill level to ensure comfort and confidence.
🐴 We work with calm, gentle horses and maintain a low staff-to-camper ratio for safety.
🪖 Helmets are required for every rider.
🆕 First-time riders are warmly welcomed and guided step-by-step.
We treat your child like one of our own — with care, patience, and full supervision.
I was nervous about my daughter riding horses, but the staff was incredibly professional and safety-focused.
Now she never wants to get off the horse!

FAQ
What if my child has never ridden a horse before?
No problem at all! Families are welcome to schedule a visit to the ranch to meet the horses and get familiar with the environment before booking. We also offer a one-time trial session you can book if your child would like to experience it first.
In fact, many of our campers last year had never even seen a horse up close—and they had just as much fun and success as those with previous riding experience!
What ages can attend the camp?
We welcome campers between ages 7 and 17. All experience levels are welcome—from complete beginners to advanced riders.
What kinds of activities will my child do at camp?
Campers will enjoy:
-
Horseback riding lessons
-
Horse care (feeding, grooming, tacking up)
-
Outdoor games and activities
-
Team-building and leadership games
-
Mini shows, and more!
Does my child need prior horse riding experience?
Not at all. Our program is beginner-friendly and designed to teach children the basics in a safe, encouraging environment.
What safety measures are in place?
Safety is our top priority. We use certified helmets (campers may bring their own), maintain a 5:1 camper-to-counselor ratio, and all horses are calm, well-trained, and used to working with children.
What should my child bring to camp?
-
Boots with a heel (no sandals, sneakers or open-toed shoes)
-
Riding helmet (optional—we have some available to borrow)
-
Comfortable long pants
-
Sack lunch and water bottle
-
Sunscreen
-
Camp T-shirt (provided on the first day)
Do you offer discounts for siblings or multiple weeks?
Yes! We do offer sibling and multi-week discounts.
-
For sibling discounts, please send us a quick email or WhatsApp message, and we’ll send you the discounted payment link.
-
For one camper and 2-week bookings, you can find the direct link on our website.
-
If you're booking more than 2 weeks, reach out to us directly by clicking here so we can assist you with a custom link.
Can I book only a few days instead of a full week?
No, our program is built around full-week sessions (Monday to Friday). Each camper spot is reserved per week, so we’re unable to offer partial-week bookings.
What are the camp hours?
A one-week booking includes camp Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Campers should arrive a few minutes early and be picked up promptly at 2 PM.
