Mill Spring, N.C. (PRWEB) June 26, 2014 -- Looking to harness your kids’ energy now that summer is here? Saddle them up and let them horse around at Equestrian Summer Camp presented at Bright’s Creek, the Mill Spring, North Carolina residential family mountain community.
Led by Samantha Chody, Equestrian Director at Bright’s Creek, the summer camp is open to the public and offers children and teens of all ages and experience levels a fun opportunity to take riding lessons and enjoy spectacular trail rides surrounding Bright’s Creek’s equestrian center, which features 20 acres of lush pasture, an oversized jumping and dressage arena, and 15 miles of breathtaking, well-groomed trails. Chody is an experienced equestrian instructor and trainer, and was the recent winner of the Equus Events Tryon Horse Show in the 1.20 Open Jumper Class.
