This summer I will be a riding instructor at the International Riding camp in NY.
"International Riding Camp is located at White Fence Farm in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, 90 miles northwest of New York City. Campers are provided with a unique opportunity to improve their equestrian skills in a setting of exceptional natural beauty. Trails lead through the Shawangunk Mountains, where the views of pristine, cobalt-blue lakes contrast with soaring limestone cliffs. Cool mountain breezes make the riding arenas ideal for summer riding"
I have the opportunity to possibly go on one or two adventured with my students around NY. One in Central Park and one on the beach In the Hamptons.
The owner of the camp seems to be a very lively and talented man.
"the riding camp has been under the ownership and direction of Arno Mares since 1978. While the camp keeps him busy during the summer, the winter months find him playing polo in Florida and Argentina. In Argentina, he started theEl Venado Polo School in 1988 with Federico Cendoya, a professional polo player, on his 4000 acre ranch. Several of our campers have attended week long sessions here, experiencing the ranch life of the Argentine gaucho and learning how to play polo. Imagine riding across miles of open fields, filled with cattle with no fences in sight! Arno is a member of the Certified Horsemanship Association, the United States Equestrian Federation, the Blue Sky Polo Club, the United States Polo Association, the Polo Training Foundation and the American Camping Association. "
June 1st I will be landing in the Newark New Jersey airport and making my way to IRC! I cannot wait to see what adventures are waiting for me this summer.
