C Bracket Horse Barn is excited to offer summer day camps on the schedule of opportunities for our horseback riding students! Be sure to add one of these weeks to your kids’ summer activities.
2023 DAY CAMP DETAILS
C Bracket summer camps are week-long, horse-intense, beginner through intermediate wrangler day camps for youth, ages 5 to 18. The program runs from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday, wrapping up with a mini playday for students to show off their skills to parents and family.
Participants in summer camps will learn how to ride horses or expand their current skills and learn equine behavior and essential equine care. There are multiple levels of Day Camps. Each class is designed to match your camper’s current proficiency and allow them to master specific skills before advancing to the next level safely. The summer camp’s instructors will take great care to place each rider at their appropriate level.
The summer camp week will end with a horse show for parents and family in the afternoon of the last day. Campers will receive a photo of themselves with one of the horses they rode during the day camp, as well as a 2023 C Bracket Horse Barn Day Camp t-shirt.
Beginners
For beginners, our top priority is to have fun and learn to be safe and confident while leading, saddling, and riding a horse. The summer camps will include horseback riding and other activities in the barn, like horse chores, equine education, and bonding with fellow campers through groundwork training with the horses.
Intermediate
For intermediate riders who are comfortable at the walk and trot, we focus on adding to the basics with skills like balance and alignment in their seat; communicating with their horse through all five aids, including their seat, weight, legs, hands, and voice; posting the trot, and time spent outside the arena putting their horsemanship skills to the test out in the open.
Required Forms
Please print off and mail (or deliver) all completed forms prior to the first day of camp. A copy of these forms is also emailed to you upon reservation.

Christy and Scott Martinez
Scott and Christy Martinez have owned and operated the C Bracket Horse Barn since 2014. They have both been horseback since they were kids, and Scott’s Wyoming ranching background and Christy’s Midwestern farming background has given them a variety of horseback experience between the two of them.
After growing up riding horses for her entire life, Christy Martinez has spent the last seven years teaching students to ride. She enjoys spending time learning new skills herself that she can then pass on to students, and she finds that pairing students with the perfect horses to build their confidence and skills is one of her favorite parts of the job. She also enjoys colt starting, problem solving with project horses, training and driving harness horses and gathering cattle.
Scott Martinez was raised on ranches in Wyoming, and now passes his practical horsemanship skills on to students in the arena. His favorite subject to teach to students is the roping class, and he is known for being a reassuring presence for new students who might feel insecure during their first few classes horseback. His background with horses includes starting colts, ranch roping, ranch rodeo and managing cattle horseback.
Cancellation Policy
A $100 non-refundable deposit is due at registration. The remainder is due no later than the first day of day camp at the 9 a.m. registration.
