My recovery ride after a fun but full weekend 🥰
My intent is to introduce people of various ages and backgrounds to the benefits of equine socialization and partnership.
To provide a positive, safe and fun learning environment that is considerate of all human and horse participants.

There are still a few spots left!
Sign Up for Simply Saddle Up! 2026 Summer Camps🥰
Location is in Dayton, VA, only 3 miles from the Harrisonburg city limit. Horse Camp is an excellent opportunity for fun and horsemanship learning with fresh air and friends! Mini Camps are three half days and they are designed for beginning riders ages 8 and up. Mini Campers enjoy learning the basics of horse care through hands on experience, horse related games and fun facts as well as special projects, barn chores, and outdoor hang time with a small group of friends. There are typically "light" or easy riding times included with a focus on safe introduction into the saddle. I will flex the activities some if I have more seasoned/regular riders.
Please contact me soon as these are small group camps and space is usually limited to 4 to 6 campers per session.
Mini Camps:
June Session 9am to 1pm (6/15, 6/16, 6/18) - $180
July Session 9am to 1pm (7/6, 7/7, 7/9) - $180
August Session 9am to 1pm (8/10, 8/11, 8/13) -$180
On Mother's Day 5 Years Ago there was a Very Special Surprise...Happy Birthday Henna!!!
