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

By Amanda Hill


Little girls and big horses just go together for some reason. It may seem odd to some, but the love affairs girls have with horses has a long standing tradition. If your daughter is someone who has a photo collection of Derby winners pinned to her bedroom wall, you need to think about enrolling her in a NJ summer riding camp. She will probably come back a changed young girl after experiencing all these camps have to offer.

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.

It can be difficult to get kids away from their video games, smart phones and computer screens. Enrolling your child in a camp is a great way to force her out of doors and into communication with others. Girls are thrown together day in and day out and placed in situations where they have to interact with one another. It is not unusual for camps to ban all electronic devices except for a phone girls are allowed to use to take pictures.

The girls spend a lot of time each day on their horses. They get plenty of exercise and fresh air along the way. If you think the horse is going to be doing all the work, you are wrong.

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.

Riding horses is fun. It is a great for little girls who sometimes feel anxious and unsure of themselves. They can enjoy the sheer pleasure of riding a beautiful animal. Kids make fast friendships as well. Instructors are careful to make sure the campers have fun, making up games they enjoy playing while honing their equestrian skills at the same time. After a summer at camp, your daughter will be more confident and sure of herself.
