Summer Camps
Lea Bank offers a couple opportunities for day camps once a year. These camps have always been a successful way to meet new people, get some fresh air and learn all about horses.
Each day starts with a riding lesson and some theory classes.
Throughout a day we do many different horse related activities such as; grooming, riding, theory, crafts and games.
Camp is offered for ages 5-13yrs, from 9am to 3pm. We will provide a healthy snack both mid morning and mid afternoon but ask that the participants bring their own lunch.
We enjoy the enthusiasm the participants bring to the facility and throughout the day.
The camps are geared for all levels, no experience is necessary. Please come prepared with your own boots, 1/2" heel.

Therapy
Horse Therapy
Equine-assisted therapy includes activities such as grooming, petting, and feeding.
These gentle giants have a calming effect that’s magnified by their size and empathy.
Horses are herd animals known for attuning themselves to human emotion, often reflecting the behaviors of those around them. For people building confidence, learning to lead around animals that loom over them can help improve self-esteem, encourage taking control, and addresses fears they feel are bigger than them.
