An NJ Summer Riding Camp Can Turn Your Shy Daughter Into A Self-Confident Young Woman

By Amanda Hill


There is something about horses and young girls. As strange as it may seem, most little girls adore horses, even those who never seen one in the flesh. If your daughter is captivated by Derby winners, and shows it by pinning their portraits on the walls of her bedroom, you need to seriously consider allowing her to participate in a NJ summer riding camp. You will be amazed at the young woman who returns.

It is not usual for young girls to struggle with self-esteem and confidence issues. Horse camps are a great way to help them in these areas. Controlling an animal that weighs half a ton or more, using only her body and encouraging words, will quickly give your youngster a feeling of her own power and make her feel more in control of the world around her. Horse camps are places where girls work together in a non-competitive way to reach their individual goals.

Some children are shy and find it difficult to make friends easily. Horse camps are places where kids come together to share a common love of these big animals. It isn't hard to find things to talk about when the girls are spending the days together learning to ride and caring for their equipment and horses.

Horses can be dangerous animals. They are big, heavy, and sometimes unpredictable. The number one priority of these camps is keeping the girls safe. All of them are taught in the beginning how to handle a large animal and what to do to avoid a mistake that might have serious consequences. Girls are encouraged to remind each other of the rules.

If you are concerned your youngster is spending too much time in front of a computer screen, camp is a great way to get her out of doors and into a positive physical activity. Instead of sitting preoccupied with their electronic devices, girls are encouraged to interact with one another and improve their social skills. Many camps ban all electronic devices with the exception of one phone that allows them to take pictures.

Girls are on their horses for hours each day. They are outdoors enjoying fresh air and lots of physical activity. Some think the horses are the ones doing the work, but that's not true.

Riders have to use their whole bodies to control their horses and balance on their backs at the same time. They get great aerobics workouts hauling water buckets, lifting hay bales, and shoveling manure. Campers care for the horses like they owned them.

Most of all the girls have fun at camp. Even the most serious get into the spirit and learn to relax and enjoy the pleasure riding brings. It's not all work and lessons. Instructors set up interesting games that allow the girls to play while they are learning. At the end of the summer, your daughter will have stories to tell and a new air of confidence.
