This year’s HC Equestrian camp deviated from the usual eventing format to focus on dressage. \u00a0The Monkey Tail Ranch<\/a> in Hollister graciously hosted our campers for 3 days of riding, including private lessons with Ellen Eckstein, obstacle course training, trail rides, and an introduction to equine bodywork.<\/p>\n

Campers also were able to enjoy puppy socialization with Monkey Tail’s young service dog hopefuls. A continental breakfast was provided each morning, and teams of campers worked together in the kitchen to provide some scrumptious home-cooked meals.<\/p>\n

We asked our campers to share some of their favorite parts of dressage camp:<\/p>\n

“Having three lessons in a row with Ellen; stuff was really staring to click. Hanging out with a really nice and nonjudgmental group of Horse People.” \u00a0–Kathie<\/span><\/p>\n

“Getting to see Elise, finally taking a lesson with the amazing Ellen, getting to ride Boo, and of course the puppies!” \u00a0— Annalisa<\/span><\/p>\n

“Everything! Horses, puppies, spending time with great people! Can’t wait to do it again!” \u00a0–Erica<\/span><\/p>\n
