Our Vision
At TRAGJ Horse Camps, our vision is to inspire and educate the next generation of horsemen and women through hands-on learning and unforgettable experiences. Our camps provide a strong foundation in horsemanship, equine care, and safe riding practices, fostering confidence, responsibility, and a lifelong love for horses. Whether campers aspire to ride for fun, compete, or pursue a future in the equine industry, we are dedicated to equipping them with the knowledge and skills to contribute to the horse world in a positive and correct way.
TRAGJ Horse Camps offer a comprehensive and engaging equestrian experience for riders of all levels, from pre-beginner to novice and beyond. Our day and overnight camps provide a safe, educational, and fun environment where campers develop essential horsemanship skills, build confidence, and create lasting memories.
We specialize in both English and Western disciplines, with focused instruction in jumping and ranch horse skills. Our camps emphasize proper horse care, riding technique, and a strong foundation in equine knowledge, ensuring each camper gains the skills needed to ride safely and effectively. Whether discovering horses for the first time or advancing existing skills, our goal is to foster a love for horses and a respect for correct, responsible horsemanship.
At TRAGJ Horse Camps, instruction is led by a knowledgeable and experienced equestrian professional dedicated to developing safe, capable, and confident riders. With over 40 years of hands-on experience in both English and Western disciplines—including specialization in jumping and ranch horses—I provide structured and engaging instruction tailored to each rider's skill level.
My background includes extensive experience in training, coaching, and equine care, ensuring a well-rounded education for all participants. I am committed to teaching correct and ethical horsemanship, emphasizing safety, proper riding techniques, and a deep understanding of horse behavior. Through my leadership, TRAGJ Horse Camps offer a professional, supportive, and enriching learning environment where riders of all levels can grow in their skills and knowledge.

Riders learn through cross training, playing games, jumping, building jumps & courses, riding skills patterns, and perfecting their seat. During craft & free time campers will get to swim, and enjoy building memento to take home.
While each camp has a different itinerary, all camps offer the same amenities.
Every camp is restricted to 7-18 years old, they are not divided by age but rather ability. We do not mix abilities for learning and safety reasons. Horses do not care how old someone is when being ridden, they just expect the rider to do their job in the saddle, as such each camper will be expected to do the lesson given them no matter their age, while we do give out lessons according to physical size as well as learning ability, a 16yo pre-beginner will not get the same anatomy coloring page as the 7yo beginner but they will get the same lesson in anatomy and the same goes for any physical tasks, a extremely petit 11 yo would not have the same task as a tall 9yo, depending on their physical and mental capabilities. However we do teach problem solving here and will help teach riders to work independently as well as with their team!
All units may be taken individually or in order so returning students may increase their knowledge and abilities as they come back.
Units 1 Gives campers the basic skills they need to succeed in that camp & once they leave.
Units 2 Increases knowledge & abilities to help riders ride more independently on their own
Units 3 Brings all lessons full circle & shows campers their hard earned skills by "leveling up"
