BANGOR, Pa.--Blu Flame Horsemanship is an equine assisted activity and riding program currently operating out of MD Performance Horses in Bangor, Pa.
It was founded in September 2024 by Nicole DeBel and Amy Pruner, two friends and lifelong equestrians who share a passion for horses.
After experiencing the positive impact horses have on people, both Amy and Nicole decided to share their personal horses with others so they could also experience the many benefits that come from equine assisted activities, and Blu Flame Horsemanship was born, named after the two horses that inspired the program, Bluebird’s Mountain Hymn and ROL Flame Dancer.
Our mission is to enrich both participants and employees through professional development, therapeutic horsemanship, and fostering an environment for growth regardless of disabilities or challenges.
Blu Flame Horsemanship offers both traditional and therapeutic riding, as well as unmounted traditional and therapeutic horse assisted learning activities, providing different opportunities for participants to interact with horses as appropriate for each individual.
Participants of all ages and abilities are welcome at Blu Flame Horsemanship, and each lesson is catered to specific participant goals to promote individualized growth.
The positive environment creates a calm, safe learning space for our community to experience the mental, physical, and social benefits that come with equine assisted activities.
Our camps are a great way for new participants to get a taste of horsemanship and riding, and a great way for more experienced students build their skills and knowledge.
Camps are open to everyone ages 5 and up of all abilities (both therapeutic and traditional).
We cater all of our activities to the needs of each individual camper to ensure that everyone has an amazing experience.
Kids Week is June 23-27 and Teens Week is Aug. 18-22 from 10am-3pm each day.
Camp is $425/week for new participants in our program and $400/week for current program participants.
Camp activities include:
• Riding
• Horsemanship
• Horse care
• Games
• Crafts
