Question

Where are some good horse camps that are in Indiana? And I do have my own horse, but I don't want to bring her with. If there is any websites you could give me that would be helpful.

I am a teenager

Answer 1

Black Dog in Marion, IN does a horse camp every summer. Call 765-664-1059 to make a reservation.

Answer 2

The last issue of Young Rider magazine addressed horse camps in particular and had several ads for them. I don't know of any in Indiana but you might see if that magazine has a website for a starting point!

Answer 3

If you happen to be a teen, look in your phone book for your local 4-H office. I know here in NC we have 4-H horse camps. I was able to go when I was a kid and did take my own horse. It was one of the greatest weeks of my life. One other idea: see if you have a local chapter of Young Life. They have tremendous camps and ours here in western NC has about 40 horses. They have scholarship programs available to send teenagers to camp. if you are older, contact your local county extension agent. They may be able to help you locate camps in your area that provide horses. You could also try your local tourism office or chamber of commerce. Good luck and have fun!

Answer 4

The closest Yahoo! Answers has ever come to suggesting the right class (on the subject of the pony segment) is 'Horse Racing'. UGH! My dream horse could be a dapple gray, eleven 12 months historic Hanoverian PSG schoolmaster. Woot.

Answer 8

One method of training involves working the horse on a lunge line, a long rope attached to a halter placed over the horse’s head. In this method, the trainer keeps the horse moving in a large circle. Horses can be taught to respond to voice commands, such as “walk,” “trot,” and “whoa,” while being worked on a lunge line. Horses need to be gradually accustomed to a saddle and bridle and to bearing weight on their back.

The staging of horse shows, in one form or another, dates from ancient times. Equestrian displays and competitions were featured in the ancient Olympic Games in Greece and in various public celebrations in ancient Rome. Public displays of horses and horsemanship reached a high point in the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century). During that period large crowds attended tournaments in which armored knights wielding lances jousted with each other and otherwise exhibited their equestrian skills; these skills became known collectively as haute école, a French phrase denoting a high or advanced form of horsemanship. Exhibitions of haute école have survived in the performances of the famed Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. The style practiced there originated in the manège (covered riding ring) of the 17th century and follows rules established at that time. In the exhibitions, extremely intricate and difficult movements are executed by Lipizzaner, a breed originally developed as carriage horses for the nobility. Throughout the Middle Ages and into modern times, country horse fairs, at which prospective buyers could inspect and evaluate the horses of a given region, were common events.

Horse shows and displays in North America date from the early 18th century, when purebred horses were imported from Britain into Virginia and other American colonies. In 1883 the National Horse Show was inaugurated in New York City. Patronized by the fashionable, wealthy classes of New York City, it soon became a prestigious social event. It is still one of the chief American horse shows and is held annually, generally in New York or New Jersey. In the first decade of the 20th century the number of horse shows given throughout the United States increased steadily; this circumstance led in 1917 to the founding of the American Horse Shows Association (AHSA), the sport's national governing body in the United States. The organization is located in New York City. Since the end of World War II in 1945 the sport has become increasingly popular. Rodeos are an informal and, for the most part, American or Canadian type of horse show.

Horse shows are also popular in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and much of Europe. Important shows include the Canadian National Exhibition and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; the Olympia Horse Show, held in London; and the Dublin Horse Show, held outside Dublin, Ireland. The Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI, International Equestrian Federation) with headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, is the international governing body.

Olympic dressage competition was first included at the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden, for individual competitors. Team dressage competitions were first held at the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In Olympic events, Swedish, German, French, and Swiss riders have been the most successful. Individual Olympic show jumping was first held at the 1900 games in Paris. In 1912 Olympic team show jumping was introduced. In individual events, French, Italian, and German riders have dominated, while in team events German and Swedish riders have been the most successful. Olympic three-day events for individuals and teams were first held at the 1912 games. The three-day event was then known as the military, and it was restricted to army officers. The discipline as it is now known was established at the Olympics in 1924. American, British, German, and Swedish riders have dominated Olympic competition.
