Summer Day Camp at Helicon
We are proud to announce the 8th annual summer day camp at Helicon Show Stables for
ages 6 and up. Our unique program teaches many aspects of horsemanship including
hunt seat riding, grooming techniques, feeding requirements, equipment use and care,
along with basic veterinary and farrier knowledge. Summer camp also includes fun and
educational activities such as crafts, horse-related games and daily demonstrations. Our
individualized program is limited to 8 students per session so early registration is
encouraged! Attending multiple sessions throughout the summer is an excellent way to
learn about horses and have fun.
The highly qualified and professional staff at Helicon is dedicated to ensuring all children both enjoy camp and
learn. Our horses and ponies are well suited to a wide range of riding abilities. We encourage you to visit to
Helicon to meet our instructors, horses, and ponies. Our beautiful setting is perfect for hours of horse fun!

Helicon Show Stables offers riders (or wanna-be-riders), from the age of six and over a unique
opportunity to learn all facets of hunt seat riding and horsemanship; including grooming,
saddling, stable management, horse care, feeding, and basic veterinary and farrier care. The
camps are individualized and intensive due to the limited enrollment of only eight students per
camp session. All students will be under the training and supervision of the professional staff
at Helicon Show Stables. Camps are offered throughout the year to fit in with any school track
schedule. Indoor riding arena allows year-round riding!
Molly Rinedollar holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Equine Science from Colorado State University
and has competed extensively and successfully on a national level in hunter, jumper and pony
classes. Her students (and Molly, too!) continue to win numerous CHJA year-end Champion and
Reserve Champion awards, and she was named Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association
National Champion Alumni. Molly and her staff at Helicon Show Stables will ensure that each
camper has a great experience.

Monday through Friday. Campers should pack a lunch, drinks, snacks, and change for the
candy machine (.25). We have a pop/water machine too! ($1.25). Campers should wear blue
jeans, chaps, or riding breeches; paddock boots or riding boots. NO TENNIS SHOES! Riding
helmets with safety harnesses are always required—we have some to use at Helicon Show
Stables, although it is best to buy your own if you continue to ride.
