🔥🐎 Barrel & Pole Clinic with Laura Morrison 🐎🔥
Monday June 29th - Saturday July 6th
Get ready for an unforgettable week of horses, friends, learning, and SPEED! This is a high-energy Monday to Friday Horse Camp where riders build confidence, sharpen their skills, and truly feel part of a team.
⚠️ This clinic is based on riding experience, not age. Riders must be comfortable at the walk, trot, and canter. This is not a beginner clinic.
✨ ADULTS ARE ABSOLUTELY ENCOURAGED TO BOOK!
🐴 You can bring your own horse or ride one of Venture Stables’ horses.
Our one and only LAURA MORRISON arrives on Tuesday and will coach both Tuesday and Wednesday at Venture Stables, helping riders fine-tune barrel and pole patterns, improve speed control, and prepare for competition in a supportive and motivating environment.
🍽️ All meals are provided throughout the camp so riders can focus on riding, learning, and making amazing memories together.
On Thursday, we will load up our horses and camping gear and head to the Crapaud Exhibition Grounds to get ready to TURN & BURN! 🔥🏇
✨ On Thursday, LAURA MORRISON will coach participants directly at the Crapaud Exhibition Grounds and assist riders with any horse show questions or issues that may arise, helping them feel confident, prepared, and ready for show day.
Friday will be a full show-style setting, allowing riders to practice in a true competition atmosphere, ride with friends, and prepare for the big event.
Riders will haul in for the show, and that evening will feature
🔥🔥 EXHIBITION RUNS 🔥🔥
to help horses and riders feel comfortable and confident in the arena before show day.
⛺ Riders are welcome to camp on-site and bring their own camper. We also have a few campers available. Youth participants will stay together in the air-conditioned room at the stables with their peers — lots of laughter, bonding, and unforgettable memories!
