Stable Map Com for hana-nisshoku-kamazi

Capilloque horses are amazingly unique in the fact that you must control your thoughts, because if they are mean... chances are the horse may try to kill you. For this reason the youth of Capintain train on Arabian/Shetland ponies who boast the same vain yet stubbornness that capilloques have. Groups of 16 kids come week by week to the island during the summer on non-show weeks and practice on these ponies/small horses (14.3-15.1HH). The older kids do practice on older capilloques who are fed the calming agents so their wants to kill are smaller. 

On all bridges, there are gates, so that our little campers don't end up wandering (or riding) out of the counselors' view. 

We have eight cabins (two sets of four) that each contain two beds, two dressers and a small vanity with a sink. The bathrooms (and showers) are located in the Dining Hall, which is next to the cabin where the counselors stay. 

We have an amazing beach on the left side of the island and it features a storage shed that houses a variety of boats and other swim toys. We have a swim wall with attached buoys (not pictured) so that the incoming waves are cut down to size and the children can not swim out too far. 

The stables features a large indoor arena, two washstalls, a tack room, and 16 stalls. 

We have two 20x40m outdoor arenas, next to them is the equipment storage, which is also where we keep the hay for the camper's horses. Next to them we also have a decently sized pasture and three roundpens. 

We have two sets of 16 horses, one set are Arab/Shetland ponies and the other are of the Capilloque breed. We switch from older/experienced age groups to younger/inexperienced age groups every week (taking brakes for weeks that feature a show at the Riding Center) during the summer. Many times we will have groups come in during school breaks as well. The horses are all leased to us by the King himself who sponsors such camps to increase the riding knowledge of the youth of Capintain. Youth from out side of Capintain are also more than welcome to join in our camp

At the end of the week, the children show off for their parents in the main arena at the riding center. Four groups of four, compete in drill and team events as well as individual events. We treat it like a real show, complete with ring stewards, judge, announcers, ribbons, etc. The children really enjoy it.
