SOLD OUT - RIDER & OBSERVER BADGES
ELEVATE THE EXPERIENCE
If you’re looking to make the most of the weekend, a limited number of Bring Your Own Horse badges are available. This allows guests to work with top trainers, focusing on personal development and your mounts. Click here to learn more.
WHAT TO PACK
We recommend all guests pack warm clothes which can be layered and comfortable shoes. Riders should pack riding gloves, proper footwear, stirrup leathers, and a helmet if they choose to use one. We ask that you put your name on both your helmet and leathers.
GRATUITIES
While gratuities for grooms are not mandatory, they are customary, particularly given the busy and demanding nature of the weekend. A recommended $50 gratuity per rider will be collected at the check-in desk. This helps us ensure a streamlined process.
The Winter Bootcamp is a true boots-in-the-irons experience—hands-on, immersive, and designed for riders who want to learn by doing. With a strong emphasis on time in the saddle, participants work directly with top professionals through practical riding sessions, real-time feedback, and applied horsemanship. It’s an engaging, no-spectator approach that builds confidence, sharpens skills, and delivers meaningful takeaways for riders at every level.

Day Two is where the real magic begins. Start your weekend in the arena with top-tier trainers who will work hands-on with you to sharpen your skills, build confidence, and push you into new territory, whether you're perfecting your equitation, refining your communication, or exploring techniques you’ve never tried before.
Our talented school horses will be ready to help you learn, grow, and experiment, and for riders wishing to bring their own horses, an optional additional day fee makes it easy to train alongside your trusted partner.
Throughout the day, you’ll join “Roundtable Ringside” discussions, audit sessions led by our clinicians, and enjoy moments to connect with fellow riders who share your passion and curiosity. It's a day designed to elevate your riding, stretch your perspective, and immerse you fully in the art and discipline of horsemanship.
