The heat couldn’t melt our fun at last week’s summer camp at VMF! We rode, groomed, bathed, painted ponies, designed bracelets, made friends, held a horseless horse show, did a modeling clinic, let the horses bob for apples and ate enough freeze-pops to last a lifetime.

Next up ➡️
⛺️ Mini Camp: July 24,25,26
⛺️ Regular Camp: August 5-9

*Contact us at 484-824-1110 to join the fun - limited spaces available!
