| Ben-Adhem
is a unique training and breeding farm, situated
on 10 acres in Sussex Corner, New Brunswick. Our
Summer Riding Camp provides an opportunity for
young people to learn riding and horsemanship
in a safe, exciting setting while enjoying the
pleasures of a quiet country horse farm.
Our
26 years of teaching experience allow us to
specialize in building confident horse and rider
teams. The program at Ben-Adhem focuses on the
development of a functional, versatile balance
seat for our riders while emphasizing lower
level dressage and eventing. Classes are taught
in a creative, enthusiastic manner that makes
riding fun for beginners as well as more advanced
riders.
Daily
lessons, stable management classes, and a choice
of other horse-related activities make up much
of each day. Students are encouraged to take
part in the planning of each day to ensure a
varied and interesting schedule.
Lessons
are individualized and groups are small. Students
are given the opportunity to gain the values
of friendship, teamwork, and responsibility
while learning discipline and sportsmanship.
Each
student works with one horse throughout the
camp week. Each is responsible for learning
the complete care of the animal. We strive to
teach our students horse care and stable management
through example and practice. This enables them
to work safely and competently with their horses
in all aspects of horsemanship, laying the groundwork
for a lifetime sport.

Notes Kids
will love "horsin' around" at the
fun-filled summer camps. We teach campers the
basics of the care, grooming and, of course,
working in the stable - friends, both two and
four-footed!
|
| Time
and Place We
offer week-long camps that run through July.
Students spend five consecutive days. They arrive
on Sunday evening between 6:30 - 8:00 pm and
depart Friday afternoon between 2:00 - 5:00
pm. Campers are housed in our house located
close to the stable.
|
| The
Program Each
camper receives two riding lessons and one practical
lesson per day. The program is specifically
designed to incorporate the fundamentals of
riding and horse care with lots of lively camp
activities... swimming, field games, videos.
We'll
also saddle up for trail riding toward the end
of the week, depending on the weather and the
ability of the riders.
