Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need my own horse?
No, Wilderness Trails outfitters provides experienced, sure-footed equine partners for Cowgirl Camp unless you are participating in the “Bring Your Own Horse” weekend.

These are not pony rides on the beach. The terrain is rugged and the rides are long, but you will be paired with an experienced horse so you can focus on the scenery.

You can add-on the night before Cowgirl Camp for $150 – this includes supper, lodging, and breakfast.
