Wild Horse Creek Ranch and Riding Academy offers summer camps and horseback riding lessons for all levels of riders.

During the summer, the ranch offers summer half-day camps, and shows and clinics on the weekends. During the school year, weekend and after-school lessons are available on the ranch's 250 acres in Russellville.

A typical summer day for camp attendees includes grooming, a lesson, learning to care for the horse, a cool down and turning a horse back out to pasture.

The camps and lessons are open to boys and girls of all ages.
