“My daughter enjoyed the Mini camp at Windmill Stables. They did activities like getting the horse ready, riding the horse and feeding the horses a special meal which the horses and the kids enjoyed. They got to paint rocks and horseshoes and eat their snack. I definitely recommend this experience for horseback riders!”

“Attended the mini-camp and my little had a GREAT experience. She learned how to care for her horse as well as beginner riding techniques. The camp and facility were well run and organized. We will definitely look into future camps!”
