    Stone Tavern Farm offers a great summer camp program for boys and girls ages 4-17.  Our goal is to teach the kids the responsibilities of caring for the horses mixed with a lot of fun and exercise.
    Activities include horse training, grooming, tacking, feeding, anatomy, barn maintenance, English riding lessons, Western lessons, Trail Riding and more.  Every week of camp ends with the riders putting on a show at 2:30 on Fridays to show their families all they have learned. 
    Pictured above is the group of girls who participated in the 2009 Delaware County Fair Camp.  They won a lot of ribbons and had a blast at the fair afterwords. 
A happy camper.

It's been a long day.
