Friends!

Augustus walks close to the working ponies so the children feel safe.  He seems to think he could catch a child if they lose their balance.  We have never seen anything like this.  His job was self appointed and he is very serious about carrying it out.

Augustus McCrae is the "sidecar mule" making sure no one falls off!

Summer Stress Free Zone at Amaryllis!

**** You may purchase one or more full weeks of camp and use the days throughout the whole summer as you wish!  Summertime should be a time of fun and relaxation and we aim to help you EXHALE.  Now, doesn't that feel better already?!

Sign up for at least 2 weeks by February 14th and receive A HUGE STUFFED HORSE as a gift!

Details:

• Groups typically range in size from 2-5 campers per counselor, age appropriate. One head instructor per 5 campers.  Several counselor assistants are also working. Christine supervises the entire camp daily and teaches the mounted portions.

• Horses and ponies assist us, as do the resident barnyard animals.  We feel it necessary to request parents refrain from demanding their child ride a horse versus a pony.  This is a problem every year.  Children naturally wish to ride the "BIG" one.  We match horse or pony to child, not just by size but by attitude, nature and experience. Thank you!

• Please become familiar with the basic riding rules as listed under the "lessons" link, and please purchase the appropriate riding gear.  An astm/sei certified helmet, jodphur or paddock boots and half chaps.  Visit The Tack Trunk at 137 Main Street Amagansett 631-267-2013 or Brennan's Bit and Bridle in the Bridgehampton Commons 631-537-0635 or click:

• We have many great arts and crafts this year and will be having a weekly "theme" based on one of the barnyard animals!  Great fun!

• Riding time will vary according to the day's outline as well as the weather.  Typically a half hour daily for the half day camp will be spent mounted and an hour for the full.  Sometimes more, sometimes less.  We are striving to encourage a well rounded appreciation of horses and ponies.

• Every Friday is a special "Games and Questions" day when every camper will receive multiple chances to win ribbons and prizes to show their success for the week. 

• 10 week campers will receive a special package which includes a discount on future lessons or on the lease of a horse and their own professional grooming kit.  Many other goodies will be included in this package, but it is a surprise!

• Campers must bring bagged lunch and a water bottle to refill from the cooler and sunscreen if worn.

• Friends can be paired as necessary!
