Camper quotes
  • When I come to Three Gaits I get really happy
    because Im going to be with the horses that I
    LOVE!
  • Three Gaits makes me feel like a better person
    because I help people take care of their horses.
    When Im older, I will be able to help kids with
    special needs
  • Three Gaits is a place where friendships are
    made.
  • Three Gaits means a lot to me. Because if you
    live in the city like me you cant own a horse
    but you can come here and see the horses.
  • I love Three Gaits because its cool and fun. I
    think that any kids who like horses should come
    to this camp!
