Farm schedule for 2023
Additional Information
WELCOME 2023
With the change of staff here at TPA and with so many folks getting vaccinated for Covid, we are once again opening up our summer camps to outside riders. We take 8-10 riders per camp with 2-4 instructors and helpers per camp.
Places for either camp will first be open to regular TPA students and then we will open remaining spots to outside interested parties. If you haven't ridden at TPA before, we suggest that you or your child take several primary lessons before either camp so that the student has a foundation of grooming, tacking up and basic leading abilities.
Thank you,
Charlie; Deb and Josh

Camp starts at 10 AM and ends at 5 PM on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
Students ride twice a day with mini clinics, arts, tons of education and fun.
Students will do groundwork, ride bareback, jump, ride western, do drill work and ride cross country.
Bring lunch lots of snacks and a reusable water bottle!
If you have never attended a TPA summer camp, we suggest that the new student come and view what and how we teach at the farm and then schedule a groom and tack lesson and a minimum of three riding lessons.
Our summer camps are very different than many other summer camps. We don't do a lot of pony painting or leading our students around from the ground. Summer camp students usually ride a minimum of 2-4 hours a day and many go from not being able to steer or tack up a pony to being able to post a trot, play games and be safe and confident on a different pony each day.
On Friday, the last day of Summer Camp, at 5 PM Sharp we invite parents and friends to the "End of Summer Camp Awards and Celebration." This is a half hour to hour question and answer, commentary and awards ceremony for our summer camp students. Its a great way to celebrate new friendships,, hard work accomplished, so much learned, courage found, and sad goodbyes for the year.
