Alexander spent an unforgettable summer in Germany, where he had the opportunity to go to a  Horsemanship Camp at Gut Borken 

 

Summer
2014

The Golden Ranch and KK Valvasor are organising the

II. DQHA Horsemanship Camp with the New Mexico Group.

The Camp will take place at our Ranch from 21.- 26.July 2014, in Kisovcu, Zagorje ob Savi.
The trainers are : Dr. Joe B. Armstrong (, 72 years  of »Horsemanship experience« ) and Donna G. Comyford from the US and Holger Meyer, Lisa Middelberg and Katrin Dreyer-Süchting from Germany!

Dr. Joe B. Armstrong is organizing these Camps in Germany since 1999. The price for the Camp »all inclusive« (5 days training-4 hours riding a day, workshops, excellent food, sleeping on the hey or in a tent, stable and food for horses for 6 days) is 300,00€! If 2 family members come together is 200€ for the second rider and if they come with 1 horse the price is 100€ for the second rider.  The camp is open to all breeds and all kind of riding (English or western) and level of riders!

And a few words about the camp writen by Holger Meyer:
»At the camps we look at each rider and horse and try to pick them up where they currently are in their horsemanship. We will guide you to discover and practice the three fundamentals of the art of riding a horse, no matter whether English or Western: balance, feeling and timing. This in mind, we will work with you on soft, forgiving hands. On the correct seat and posture, which are key to everything. On giving the correct aids with the correct timing. On how to overcome braces in you and your horse to achieve suppleness; allowing for correct flexion and true collection. But, the main emphasis will be on another thing: On working on you. On your thinking about horses and their needs.
On you to become an honest and reliable partner to your horse. On you to learn to ask instead of demanding. On you to understand. All to make you: a true horseman or horsewoman.”

DQHA would like to help us to develop the true “Horseman spirit” in Slovenia! So this year we are organizing for the first time a Horsemanship Camp with “New Mexico Group« at our

Golden Ranch from 14-19 July in Kisovec, Zagorje ob Savi.

The instructors shall be Dr. Joe B. Armstrong and Anna Eader-Riggs from US and Holger Meyer and Katrin Dreyer-Süchting from Germany. Katrin Dreyer-Süchting is the coordinator of this Camps in Germany.B. Armstrong is organizing these Camps in Germany since 1999. The price for the Camp »all inclusive« (5 days training, excellent catering food from a good local restaurant, sleeping on the hey or in a tent, stable and food for horses for 6 days) is 300,00€!

The camp is open to all breeds and all kind of riding (English or western) and level of riders!

Here a few words about the camp from one of the instructors!

»Howdy everybody!

Well, we sure all are really looking forward to the event and to visit with you and your horses in your beautiful country soon!
...
It'll be a time packed with lots of insights and information, plenty of riding each day, educational workshops and, last but not least, great fun!

The camps are open to all breeds, all kinds of riding and all level of riders, no matter how young or old. Students not just work on their riding and horsemanship but meet others sharing the same passion, make new friends and explore new ways to communicate with their horses. Many have left camp with tears in their eyes - and not because of the dust.

The camps provide an open, relaxed environment allowing to try new things, to ask the questions you always wanted to ask and to learn something new or to refresh those things long forgotten or not practiced for a while. It's a chance to get first hand knowledge, hinds and advice from professional horsemen Dr. Joe and Anna from New Mexico, having many years of experience in the show pen, as judges, in the cattle ranching business and the performance horse industry. No matter whether you are a novice rider, ride for recreation only or are showing on big shows in dressage, reining, trail, pleasure - you name it: the camps are there for everyone and provide a great chance to learn and practice over several days in a relaxed, but intensive manner.
But, hey, here comes the secret!
The most important thing about the camps is: they are great fun and we all just love to have and to make lots of it!

So, if you want: saddle up and come ride with us!

Hope to see you all soon!
Take care!

Holger«
