SUMMER CAMPS

Stoney Oaks Rodeo Summer Horse Camp

Saddle up for an unforgettable summer at the Lakeside Rodeo Grounds! Our Summer Horse Camp is designed for young riders eager to hone their rodeo skills, horsemanship, and teamwork in a fun and supportive environment.

Throughout the week, campers will learn the fundamentals of barrel racing, pole bending, vaulting, riding with a flag, a half time animal parade and more, while also developing a deeper understanding of horse care, groundwork, and riding techniques. But it’s not just about the arena—our camp fosters friendship and camaraderie, ensuring every rider feels part of a true rodeo family.

The highlight of each camp session comes on Friday at noon, when parents are invited to a special Rodeo Showcase, where campers demonstrate their new skills in an exciting, action-packed event. From first-time riders to aspiring rodeo stars, this is a chance for kids to shine and celebrate their achievements in the very same arena that has hosted countless rodeo legends.

If your child dreams of horses, rodeos, and adventure, this is the ultimate summer experience! Spots are limited, so sign up today!

HONESTY, EDUCATION, RESCUE, DETERMINATION 

Our Mission

We prepare the next generation of leaders by connecting children with horses — teaching grit, compassion, responsibility, and

teamwork through horsemanship and horse rescue.

Leadership Through Horsemanship

• Guiding a 1,000-pound horse develops calm, confident leaders.

• Children gain grit and perseverance through daily challenges.

• Teamwork and communication are built in a herd — kids discover they are stronger together.

Our Programs

• HERD Camps — Weeklong leadership & horsemanship camps

• Rescue Crew — Kids care for and rehabilitate rescue horses

• Leadership Clinics — Workshops that build responsibility and integrity

• Mentorship — Older youth guide younger participants

Why Leadership Matters

• Builds confidence and resilience

• Instills responsibility and integrity

• Creates leaders ready to strengthen our community

Meet Maggie & Pearl

Maggie and Pearl were rescued from a kill pen on September 4, 2024. They endured a 17-hour trailer ride without food or water

before being picked up in Kern County and brought 7 hours to our ranch. Arriving with ribs showing, scratches, illness, and fear,

they faced a scary recovery from shipping fever. With time, veterinary care, and patience, we earned their trust — cutting the

numbers from their tails and giving them names. Today, Maggie and Pearl are thriving examples of the transformation possible

through rescue and rehabilitation.

“These two horses are living proof of resilience and second chances.”
