Nothing beats the beauty of a trail ride 🌲🐴 Watching our riders build confidence and bond with their horses out on the trail is what it’s all about. So proud of how far they’ve come!

Meet our Giddy Up Camp Champ of the week—Grizzy!🏆 It’s been incredible watching her confidence blossom as she soaked up every bit of knowledge and even lent a helping hand to fellow campers. Always up for a challenge, Grizzy opted for the trickier rides specially if it meant more riding time, showing true grit & determination. 💪🏻 Next up: advancing to riding Caden—keep an eye out, you just might see this cowgirl tearing up the barrel racing scene at the local rodeo! 🤠🐴 #CampChamp #Cowgirl #GiddyUpEquineExperiences

It’s been a week full of learning, laughter, and growth—stay tuned for the grand finale! 🌲✨

✨Today might have been our best camp day yet! 🐴Our amazing campers took on a variety of challenges and absolutely nailed them. From mastering bareback trotting and even cantering, to enjoying trail rides, playing games like egg balance and red light, green light, and getting creative with tie-dye, these students blew us away! Their drive and how comfortable they were with bareback riding was truly impressive.
We can’t wait to welcome their parents tomorrow evening to show off everything these girls have learned this week! 🌟
That’s a wrap for our 5+ week long camp! We were thrilled to see so many amazed parents watching their kids showcase their newfound skills! 🐴
Teaching young kids to care for and ride a 1,000-pound horse when they themselves weigh just around 50 pounds is no small feat. At times, we wondered if we should ease up and just play games. But all doubts vanished when we saw every single kid confidently grooming, tacking up, and riding independently. From showmanship to navigating barrels, keyhole, and pole bending, they did it all on their own!
Our vision for this camp has truly come to life, and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with every child. Here’s to many more amazing experiences ahead! 🤠🐴

This young lady came in blazing, eager to go fast and learn everything we could throw at her. From day one, she was all about speed and skill. She improved at control when going fast, giving Dancer her head, and nailed those hand adjustments. We’re over the moon with how far she and Dancer’s bond has come!

Watching you grow into such a confident rider has been incredible. From getting back on after falling off to mastering every horse, including riding Caden independently, and riding Avalon bareback, your determination shines through! We loved seeing you canter around those barrels at your birthday party today. Here’s to more amazing rides ahead! 🐴

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Vanessa Savage, the proud founder of Giddy Up Equine Experiences, a kids’ program nestled in the heart of Pemberton.
My childhood spent surrounded by my grandpa’s horses sparked a lifelong passion within me, which only grew stronger when I began volunteering at Second Chance Cheekye Ranch. 🐎 Starting with pony rides, I eventually expanded to offering summer camps, and before I knew it, I had transitioned from being an education assistant to running my equine business full-time.
With a background in developmental service worker and experience in therapeutic horseback riding, I’ve combined my love for horses with a mission to support and educate children. Excited to continue to share this journey with you all!
