WestWind Stables horse camp is a great place to spend lots of time with horses and to meet new friends. Many of our campers return with the friends they met at camp last year.

  • WestWind Stables Equestrian Camp is a horse camp for girls ages 8  to 13-years-old.
  • Small Camp Size—an average of only 15 -20 campers per week insures each camper will receive lots of individual time and attention. Campers have their very own horse for the entire week.
  • Professionally trained Camp Horses - Our camp horses are with our Ranch Family all year and are well trained to be part of our camp program.
  • Family Owned and Operated—we have been in the horse business for over 30 years.
  • Well trained counselors - All of our counselors are past campers with horse experience. We have known our counselors and their families for years. 
  • Air Conditioned Bunkhouse—for restful and comfortable sleeping. This is very important when riding horses.
  • Air Conditioned Dining—Farm fresh, home cooked meals. Our campers eat every day with our family.
  • Large Indoor Arena—our campers ride horses everyday—rain or shine.
  • Large Outdoor Arena - we have an awesome 100 X 200 outdoor arena for lots of room for horse games.
  • Equestrian Classes—campers learn about horses with an informative workbook. They are also taught riding lessons and horsemanship techniques by qualified riding instructors.
  • Beautiful Scenic Trail Rides - Campers enjoy many trail rides through wooded trails located on our property.

The total cost of camp includes all of the camper's meals, lodging, educational materials, riding lessons, field trips, your own horse for the entire week, and awards at the end of the camp.

WestWind Stables Horse Camp is located only minutes from the Twin Cities. Please call to schedule a tour if you would like to visit the ranch.

HAY CRISIS AT THE RANCH - With the high cost of fuel the price of hay has more than tripled. If your camper or student has a favorite horse at the ranch or if you simply love horses you can send a sponsorship gift to WestWind Stables to sponsor a horse. Any gift amount will be greatly appreciated. All sponsorship gifts for horses will be used to purchase hay for them and for any other special needs they have. You will receive a special sponsorship card in the mail recognizing your very valuable gift to our horses. You will also be listed as a sponsor on our webpage and invited to a very special Sponsor party just for you! Please specifiy if you would like to sponsor a specific horse. 

Our Special Horse Sponsors: Lindsey & Leslie Shank, Madison Swanson & Bonnie Woodward. Thank you for your generous financial help with our special friends!
