THERAPEUTIC RIDING PROGRAM
Carolina HoofPrints currently contracts with Jake's Flat Farm to provide horses and facility for our therapeutic riding program.  We offer individual and group riding lessons.  We are in the process of certifying our riding instructor with NARHA and creating a program that complies with NARHA standards with the eventual goal of becoming a NARHA Premier center.

Our program is open to people of all ages regardless of ability. Lesson fees vary according to a sliding scale as indicated on our application posted on the Forms and documents page.  Some scholarship funds and sponsorships are available and are awarded with board approval in a blind process.  Applications are available on the Forms and documents page.  Therapeutic riding lessons are not covered by insurance.  However, for sessions requiring the expertise of a physical therapist,occupational therapist,   or other professional service recognized by insurance, insurance could be billed for their service seperately.  For more information regarding specific needs or to make arrangements to visit our program, contact our executive director.

HORSEFEATHERS SUMMER CAMPS
Carolina Hoofprints contracts with Jake's Flat Farm to provide summer camps to children regardless of ability. 
These camps are weeklong camps for ages 4 to 13 years. 

Currently we offer three themed camps:

• Rockstarz-n-Divaz- a horse show themed camp where showing off is the thing we do.  This camp focuses on basic horsemanship skills, grooming, elementary showring skills, and generally having fun.  All camps have an element of social development.  For Rockstarz-n-Divaz, this element is sportsmanship and performance.  Children learn how to showcase their own gifts and developments while remaining sensitive and generous with others.  In this camp, we find that campers learn to support each other and develop bonds and skills that reach outside of camp.  The camp ends on friday night with a "silly horse show" where campers are able to strut their stuff for friends and family.
• Ruffin'It- is our trail and outdoor themed camp.  This camp focuses on an appreciation of nature while learning basic horsemanship and trail riding skills.  Campers spend time in the woods on the therapeutic trail both hiking and riding.  They learn basic trail and map skills along with elementary survival and practical outdoor skills.  The social element of this camp is teamwork with a group problem solving and leadership skills development.  Campers strengthen their communication and observational skills which are then applied to the activities at hand.  The camp ends on friday with an open barn/campfire and demonstration.
• Born in the Barn- is a barn themed camp.  Just as the name suggests, this camp is all about the barn and horse care.  For those kids who wish to learn more about horse care and the management of a stall, or barn this is it.  This camp will include some basic riding just for fun but will focus on basic horsemanship skills and care.  The social element addressed in this camp is responsibility and organization.  Children will learn a variety of skills including tack care, minor construction and repair,  basic stable routines, hygiene, etiquette and lots of horse interaction.  This camp will close on friday with an open barn and reception for family and friends where campers can showcase their stall and horse.
