DAYTON – The Rocking D Riders Horse 4-H group in Dayton is offering a Family Horse Camp June 23-25 at the Columbia County Fairgrounds. The special instructor will be Tara Johnson. The cost is $30 per day, per person, or $20 per day, per person for the evening ride only.

The event begins Tuesday, June 23, with a participants’ meeting at 7:30 a.m. Every day, from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. will be the riding classes. One of the classes is riding with Johnson in the outdoor arena. Another class is in-hand showmanship at the indoor arena with the Walla Walla High School Equestrian Team. The third class is on trail, barrels, and pole bending out on the racetrack.  

During the four and a half hours of morning riding, campers will switch from class to class. At 12:30 p.m., attendees break for lunch until 2 p.m. and then start the educational classroom workshops on saddle fitting, grooming, horse judging, feet handling, teeth, and bits and spurs in the Youth Building.

When finished with the evening’s demonstrations, the group will break for dinner. To end the day, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., campers can attend an evening ride with Johnson and an extra trail class with Val Korsburg.
