Wrapping up three weeks at Equifest at HITS Chicago. Our riders learn so much more than just their course on a walk. Making these priceless teachable moments!! Shannon Sullivan, Laura Berck & Mike Rippe

We still have a few spots in all our Camps! Beginner camp is for riders wanting to learn the basics of riding, campers don’t currently have to be in lessons. IEA camp is open to any rider of any ability level on an IEA team or thinking about it. Jumpers camp is open to any rider jumping in lessons. Horsemanship camp is for any experienced rider looking to gain more of an understanding of a horse beyond riding.

Camp is a great way to learn new things beyond the lesson and make new friends!
