2024 Horsemanship Camp at Millstone Update |
|
|
This winter structural damage to the foundation beams of the horse barns was discovered. Millstone has been working with structural engineers to evaluate the extent of the
damage. Unfortunately, the damage is extensive and will not be able to be repaired before horsemanship camp this year and the barns have been deemed unsafe until they can be repaired. As such, we are sad to report that we will not be hosting horsemanship camp at Millstone this year. They are planning to do work to preserve some barns, and have been very supportive of trying to figure out ways to continue camp or other opportunities. I am confident that this is not the end of our relationship with Millstone, and we will continue to work towards what our options are for 2025.
We are pleased, however, to announce that we are working on a 2-day weekend clinic to be held at St. Andrews with their staff June 15-16. This clinic will be exclusive to our 4-Hers. They will be able to bring a horse/pony and will receive instruction in hunter, western, or ranch disciplines. There will also be opportunities for auditors. We will release more details once we have everything hammered out.
