Base Camp: July 2026 - 4 Day Experience
Four gritty days of hands on horse experience, with half & full day trail rides, and plenty of hands-on experience with your horse. We’ll sleep under the stars in rugged canvas tents, share food around the camp fire, and make memories for a lifetime. Perfect for the horsewoman with intermediate experience who is still building confidence in the saddle, who wants to learn more about the backcountry and how to plan for safe adventure in the outdoors.
