Faith Hope Love Riding Academy specializes in Dressage and Jumping with the ability to teach most disciplines, and horses receive care that includes quality feed and well maintained facilities. Faith Hope Love Riding Academy and Faith Hope Love Ministries are pleased to offer these horse camps to young riders ages seven and up, and Faith Hope Love Riding Academy also works with Faith Hope Love Ministries, a registered 501C3 charity.
The leadership team includes Shirley Svendsen, Barb Nelson as Jumping Coach and Camp Instructor, and Kristy Fobbe as Camp Instructor and Counselor. Shirley has been training horses for more than fifty years, has schooled all Grand Prix movements in Dressage, and has competed through Intermediare 1. Barb has been jumping horses and teaching riders to jump for years and spent years competing in eventing. Barb is described as a wonderful jumping instructor who is patient with her students, gives lots of encouragement to both horse and rider, comes up with many fun courses for jumping lessons and the camps, and adjusts the height of the jumps for each horse and rider so that jumping is a safe, positive experience for everyone. Kristy is described as an accomplished rider who loves working with kids, does a great job of making the camps fun and keeping the kids engaged, and can make anyone feel comfortable and welcome.
Paintin is described as a miracle pony who almost died from an array of complications and was in the hospital for 13 days, and the vet said that with prayer she would never have made it, but she did. Paintin is used for summer camps and is described as very sweet with the kids, and the kids all love her.
