As we finish publishing the core Learning Levels teaching resources, there will be more time to to help you plan creative
horse camps, mounted and unmounted clinics, mounted games competitions, and in-house schooling shows.
We’ve done a lot of fun, rewarding stuff over the past two decades that will inspire you to take your program beyond weekly lessons —
and we can’t wait to share it with you!
Summer day camps are a great way to promote your lesson program!
We'll help you get started with our free HorseSense Sample Camp Schedules — and eventually we'll have detailed planners and helpful tips for different types of beginner summer camps.
Specialty camps have an in-depth focus on a specific riding discipline or unmounted theme.
Look for free schedules in the HorseSense Summer Horse Camp Schedules, including Eventing Camp, Horse Sports Camp, Mounted Games Camp, and Quadrille Camp. Lesson plans for a bunch of specialty camps are in the works!
Level Up camps are for the current students in your lesson program, designed to help those students check off Learning Levels objectives in a fun group atmosphere.
For now, we have a Sample Level Up Camp Schedule you can adapt for your own use. Detailed camp planners are in the Pipeline.
Level Up Clinics can be held throughout the year to boost your students' progress through the Learning Levels curriculum.
These 4-hour clinics allow students to demonstrate skills and knowledge for Levels objectives checkmarks. Use our Level Up Clinics Sample Schedule to design your own clinics... more detailed clinic planners are in the Pipeline.
Use our detailed planner to create a Halloween mounted games tournament that could become a successful and popular tradition in your riding lesson program.
Make sure you also download our list of Trick or Treat Games, which includes rules for safe play and suggestions for constructing equipment.
A lot of our obstacle courses and worksheets and games were originally created for use in summer camps and Level Up clinics, so you'll find all kinds of time-saving teaching materials to download from the Resource Center.
As time allows, we'll add ideas and instructions for a popular camp tradition: horsey crafts!

Six Fun Horse Camps Your Students Will Love
We’ve been blessed with many talented photographers over the years: students who voluntarily stood in sweltering/ freezing arenas, capturing lifelong memories of lessons, camps and shows. We’re grateful to all of them!
One former student, Delaney Witbrod, is now a professional photographer with a gift for animal portraits – see more of her fine work here. We’re also grateful for photos of Western riding donated by LLPro instructors – particularly Bit of Pleasure Horse School and Joyful Hearts Photography!
You’ll find illustrations throughout our online courses and printed materials graciously donated by our friend Rhonda Hagy. Evan Surrusco contributes additional illustrations and handles most of our photo processing. Contact us for information about their work.
Our website will be offline on
