Horseback Riding in NC

Here in the mountains of western North Carolina we have cooler summer weather than most places in the south. This past summer, when most places were immersed in extraordinaryily hot weather, we had more pleasant temperatures. This is one of the reasons it’s so great for the St. Andrews College horses to spend the summer with us at Rockbrook… it gives them (like us) a break from the heat! Everyone likes it when we do a lot of horseback riding at RBC.

Equestrian Camp NC

Going to an equestrian camp, a summer camp that offers a quality horseback riding program, is one of the best things you can do to improve your riding skills. It gives you a chance to learn from new instructors, to hear about different techniques, and to simply practice everything in a new environment. Along these lines, riding at camp introduces you to new horses and their different personalities. Overall, attending a horse camp program helps diversify your riding skills and horsemanship knowledge. And of course, it’s a lot of fun too!

Summer Equestrian Programs

Time for another update about “what’s new with Zee Slew.” There he is with Cara, our equestrian program director! This photo was taken a few months back down in Laurinburg, but we thought you’ld like to see Zee. Like Cara, he’ll be back this summer working in the Rockbrook equestrian program. Hooray!!
