Equitcltion Every camper a horseman is our goal. Some campers wish to specialize in advanced equitation. Others, after learning the elements of safety and handling their mounts, want nothing more to com- plete their happiness than the thrill of exploring miles of beautiful woodland and mountain trails with a good horse under them. Each camper is not only allowed, but encouraged to follow his own bent. We are proud of our record through the years, of the great number of boys who have come to Arrowhead as rank beginners, and who, long before they left, mounted their horses with that unmistakable look on their faces which said 'cGee, fellows, this is really it.
