For over 7 years, Campers have learned English-Style Horsemanship at "Robin Wall’s Rancho Rio Verde Riding Club" in Long Beach.

Campers enrolled in PBC’s Horsemanship Camp begin each day at the Miraleste Campsite with our regular morning “Round Up”. 

The group is divided by age and participants will ride Monday through Thursday mornings or afternoons. On Fridays campers enjoy specialty theme days and special events.

After Round-Up, the morning horsemanship group will immediately travel by camp van to the stables.

Following their lesson they return to camp and participate in Traditional Camp activities and swimming.

The afternoon riding group will enjoy swimming and Traditional Camp activities in the morning, have lunch and then depart for the stables.

Riders are required to wear long pants and hard sole shoes or boots at the stables. Riding breeches, jeans, tights and leggings are acceptable.

Riding helmets will be provided, though campers may wish to use their own riding helmet.
