Youth Horsemanship Camps Announced

The Colby Community College equestrian team is offering two horsemanship day camps in May at the CCC Agricultural Center three miles east and one mile north of Colby. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m., and the camps conclude at 3:30 p.m.

On May 18, the Beginner Day Camp for youth ages 5 to 10 is for riders with limited experience.

The Young Showman Camp on May 19 is for participants with at least two years of show experience. Campers will spend time riding and practicing both western and hunt seat if desired.

The fee is $110 per camp or $100 for participants riding their own horses. Lunch and a camp T-shirt are included.

Campers with a horse are required to provide a health certificate (within 30 days), a valid negative Coggins certificate (within one year), proof of current 5-way vaccination, and proof of current West Nile vaccination. Participants who bring their horses should also provide hay, grain, and other supplies.
