We are Western here. Not familiar of many who teach English. When our boys were young we did a lot with horses. Both kids really benefited from the responsibility of a horse. :) s Btw, it’s fun to have a friend to compare horse camp stories with!
My mother, I, and my kiddo all did English growing up and at camp. So even though the Grand is doing Western ( they're in Texas, after all ), it's important that he also knows English, so he can ride with his mother.
This camp is great, besides riding, the kids also have to take care of their horse, after the ride and do it the right way. This way, the kids have fun, improve their riding technique, and learn the responsibilities that go along with taking care of a horse. :-)
When my kiddo was at camp, she started to jump, which scared the heck outta me! She was very good and was on both her boarding school and college teams.
