Last year, August 2010, my 6 year old went to 'cowboy camp' for 10 days. At the end of his time there he , all 60 pounds of him, was able to confidently and skillfully manuvere a 500 pound horse! We were very impressed! (OK - I'm not very calibrated about horse weight - but it was a small adult horse),\r
He went for 10 days and not once did he protest about going, whine, resist or whimper. His only complaint was that there weren't many boys in his class and he wished there were more boys.\r
We will be returning, because he wants to. This is very important, that he wants to, because he had a good experience.\r
My son has a developmental delay - ODD- oppositional defiance diisorder. Following directions, obeying commands, is almost impossible for him. ""Come sit down and we can read a story' - this is almost impossible for him. \r
If he had had any negative experiences at HC there is no way he would have continued to attend. NONE.\r
But he had a good time - we will be returning this year. Hopefully more boys will be going this year too!
