Camp Augusta
The Augusta herd of 10 camp ponies are seeking kind-hearted and playful humans to foster children’s love of horses based on compassionate and confident communication. Our horses are a playful bunch who enjoy surprising campers by transforming into unicorns and helping the equestrian team with the occasional bandit heist. They love trail rides, spa days (also known as ‘horse care’ and ‘bubble baths’), and making sure that the humans at Augusta end every day with dirt-tan and hay-hair decor.
We are seeking someone familiar with Western or English, who encourages soft hands and deep breaths while riding; someone to care for our horses’ bumps and bruises (living in a herd comes with the occasional drama).
