Kids Horse & Outdoor Camp — July 13–17 8:30-4:00 (Born 2014–2017)
$450 per participant

We’re excited to offer our first Horsemanship + Outdoor Camp this summer! This camp is built for kids who love being outside, enjoy animals, and are ready for a week of adventure, movement, and hands on learning.

Horses will be a meaningful part of the experience — grooming, leading, short rides, and learning how to be safe and confident around them — but you don’t need to be horse crazy to enjoy this camp. The heart of the week is getting kids outdoors, exploring, learning bushcraft basics, playing camp games, and spending full days in the fresh air. Horses are one of many tools we will use to do this!

The camp will take place at Fat Horse Ranch in the Ibex Valley, run by Champagne Pack Trains. Camp leaders are the owners themselves, bringing years of experience with horses, bush life, and working with kids in safe, supportive, high engagement environments.

Participants don’t need any horse experience, but they should be comfortable around animals in general — we also have friendly dogs and barn cats who will be part of the daily scene.

Kids must come prepared to be outside all day: lunch, snacks, water, and clothing for all weather. We have shelter to warm up and dry off, but if it’s wet, we’ll be out there playing in the mud and making the most of it.

Intro to Packing Clinic!

August 13-17!!

We are going to be doing our Intro to Horse Packing Clinic again August 13-17!  It will be 5 days, 3 days of practice at the ranch 20 minutes west of Whitehorse, and then an overnight trip into the mountains to put your newfound skills to use and enjoy the Yukon wilderness.

This can be a learning holiday, a great way to see some Yukon mountains, an excuse to spend more time with horses, or the first step in a guiding career, whatever motivates you!  You will end up with a basic understanding of all aspects of moving through the backcountry on horseback and probably some pretty sweet pictures and memories.

PM for price! It is open to anyone with a good attitude!  No horse experience necessary, but you do need to be fit enough to get on a horse and walk around a bit to catch them in the morning.

It will be 9-5 for 3 days, and then a 9 am start and we will get back some time the following afternoon.We will provide meals on the overnight, but you are responsible for your own survival in town!

Please leave your own horses and dogs at home as we already have enough!

We have plenty of references from past courses if you’d like to chat with someone else.  Otherwise don’t be shy if you have any questions!!

Thanks

Join us for a backcountry horsepacking clinic May 30-31st!

We're excited to invite you to our upcoming public clinic — a hands-on experience designed to introduce you to the fundamentals of backcountry horsemanship and horsepacking.

Friday Evening: Introduction to Horsepacking

Start the weekend by learning the basics! Our team will guide you through essential backcountry skills, including knot tying, gear preparation, and how to safely and efficiently pack one of our steady, mountain-trained horses.

Saturday: Hands-On Packing & Horsemanship

Bring your own horse or work with one of ours! With support from our experienced instructors (each with over 15 plus years in the field), you'll get practical experience packing a horse and refining your skills.
We’ll also do a demonstration on how we train our young horses to become reliable partners in the mountains.

Whether you're new to horsepacking or looking to build your confidence, this clinic is a great way to learn in a supportive, professional environment.
