Our Horsemanship Camps offer campers a great opportunity to develop safe and solid horsemanship skills on and off the horse. Whether they are in the barn, in the arena, or on the trail, campers practice many aspects of horsemanship and horse care, from chores and grooming to developing a solid seat (Western or English) and good communication with their horses.
Camp sessions run for five hours each day, and at the end of each week, campers put on a show for their parents to demonstrate what they’ve learned. While everything horses is the main focus of the camp, camp time may include crafts, hanging out with the other farm animals, and cooling off in the creek.
Please note that our Horsemanship Camps are intended to provide a fun group horse farm experience and are not so much geared to achieve any particular riding goals. While each day includes at least an hour of riding time, and we certainly expect that regular riding will generally improve a rider’s abilities, camps will certainly not take the place of more concentrated riding lessons and should not be expected to do so.
Based on a mnemonic to optimize learning, retention and recall of information, STABLE stands for the six assessment care modules in the program: Sugar, Temperature, Airway, Blood Pressure, Lab Work, and Emotional Support. The course format is an instructor-led didactic-interactive presentation, with quizzes built into the slide presentation. On July 2, Christopher Morten, a U.S. Patent lawyer – having observed the remdesivir purchase debacle after the government had subsidized the development of the drug – published the article, “A powerful law gives HHS the right to take control of remdesivir manufacturing and distribution.”xxvi Further tax dollars may not be lost.

To help each camper get the most out of our camps, we offer camps for many levels of experience. Please note that students who participated in a camp last year but have not had consistent riding experience since then may not be ready for the next camp level. If unsure, we may recommend a private lesson prior to the camp season to determine the best placement for your child. Be aware that we may also combine camps in order to have a full camp.
HORSE CAMP RIDING LEVELS
LITTLE BRITCHES, YOUNG RIDERS, AND BEGINNER CAMPS are for campers with little or no previous or regular horse experience. Little Britches is a 3 hour camp for beginning riders ages 6-7; Young Riders is for riders ages 7-9; Beginner is for beginning riders ages 9 and up; and Beginner 2 is for riders who have attended a Beginner camp and want to again this summer.
INTERMEDIATE CAMP is for campers with at least 1 year of consistent riding experience. Campers should be comfortable grooming and tacking on their own, and be riding the trot with reasonable control.
ADVANCED CAMP is for campers who have at least 2 years of consistent riding experience. Campers should be able to independently tack up, be comfortable posting and gallop position at the trot, and have some experience at the canter.
JUNIOR INSTRUCTOR TRAINING CAMP is for campers 14 and older with at least 2 years of consistent riding experience. This camp is designed for riders who may want to teach lessons someday – maybe even at Hidden Hills! (JIT camp graduates are given priority when we are looking for Junior Instructors!) During the morning, campers will learn some teaching techniques and then practice with the Little Britches campers. In the afternoon, they will improve their own riding and horsemanship skills.
LEARN TO EVENT CAMP is a fun camp for experienced riders with their own horses to learn about the three phases of eventing: dressage, cross country jumping, and stadium jumping. Pasture board for the week is included in the camp price (HH boarders receive $50 off camp price).

Oklahoma Miniature Horse Club Inc.
OMHCI is an organization of owners, breeders, trainers and other enthusiasts interested in the American miniature horse.
The club sponsors shows, educational clinics/workshops. Members also participate in parades and other related activities as a means to promote interest and understanding of one of the fastest growing and most beloved equine breeds.
OMHCI holds the Fat N Fuzzy open fun show in the spring. It is a fund raiser training show open to all miniature horses and miniature donkeys; registered or non registered. In conjunction with the show is an informational clinic with topics that change every year.
OMHCI also hosts nationally sanctioned shows – the Red River Shoot-Out, the Mini Stampede and the Cowboy Classic through American Miniature Horse Association (AMHA) , American Miniature Horse Registry (AMHR) and American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) in which horses can earn points and titles.
Remember we will have a drawing to give away a miniature horse at the April – Red River Shoot-Out and May – Mini Stampede this year. If you have a horse you would like to donate for either one of these shows, please contact Ruby Priore, OMHCI show manager at (918)-576-1452.
In the fall OMHCI also has the Wild N Wooly performance only show sanctioned by AMHA and AMHR to help exhibitors compete for points for the current year and obtain points for the upcoming year.
MEETING DATES are listed on the calendar page.
SPECIAL NOTE:
For those exhibitors with Buckskin horses; we are including American Buckskin Registry Association (ABRA) classes in the April – Red River Shoot-Out and May – Mini Stampede shows. If you own buckskin or buckskin bred* horses that are not currently registered with ABRA but you would like to show them; you may become a member and there will be onsite registry available to register your miniatures and ponies of buckskin, dun, red dun or grulla coloration. *The buckskin bred division is for horses that have at least one register-able ABRA parent (even if that parent is not registered) but the offspring miniature or pony does not meet the regular solid colored buckskin registry requirements (i.e. pinto buckskin, appaloosa buckskin, bay or palomino).
ABRA classes will be held in conjunction with the regular AMHR (ABRA/Show 1) and/or AMHA (ABRA/Show 2) classes and will run concurrent with the regular AMHR or AMHA classes, but separate fees do apply for each show. ABRA will be having miniature classes included in their World Show in Tulsa, OK in July beginning in 2018.
Hidden Hills Cabins
Ruby Priore is a field representative for ABRA and also for PtHA; so if you have a Buckskin or Pinto miniature, pony or horse that you would like to have registered; on-site registry will be available at the shows or by farm call.
