Hey Kids!
Ready for one of the most fun experiences you’ll have all summer?
Red Oaks is pleased to announce dates for our 2024 horse camps and you’re invited! Spots are limited, so sign up soon!
We’ve packed 3 solid days with fun, learning, and new experiences we promise you’ll love! You’ll also meet lots of new friends, get to see how a real horse ranch is run (even help us do it while you’re here!), and learn many valuable lessons that will help make you better at everything you do!
All you need to bring is you and your lunch!
We’re geared up to provide you with everything you’ll need for your 3-day adventure at Red Oaks, including riding gear, snacks and drinks, great instructors (we promise you’ll love them!), and, oh yeah, horses! You’ll meet lots of different horses of all colors, shapes, and sizes! You’re gonna love them!
We even have some surprises for you, which we’ll be giving you throughout camp!
And what’s camp without pictures?! We’ll be taking lots of pictures of you and the horses so you can share them with your family and friends!
No one loves horses more than we do, and we’re so happy we get to share them with you during Red Oaks 2024 Summer Camps!
Space is limited, so be sure to sign up before all the spots are taken.
Meet Nikki
Red Oaks Camp Director
Nikki will be with you each day of the camp … all day!
At age 7, Nikki started pursuing her horse passion and began taking riding lessons and learning how to care for horses. Three years later Nikki got her first horse, Sparky - a very patient and well-mannered horse which she bought from Thad Nymeyer (former owner of Red Oaks). It was this same year (2003) that Nikki started working at Red Oaks, cleaning stalls and feeding horses. Also in 2003, Nikki started showing horses in several different classes, including western pleasure, horsemanship, trail, showmanship, and halter.
In 2005, Nikki began working with horses several days a week at Claybrook Stables - her family’s horse facility in Indiana. That same year Nikki got her second horse, ‘Buddee’ (who 17 years later would be the horse she would ride into her wedding). A year later, Nikki rescued her first horse, ‘Hunter’ - a wonderful sorrel and white paint.
After receiving her Veterinary Assistant Diploma in 2007, Nikki began breeding, raising and training horses. Fast forward to 2017 when, after graduating with honors from Bob Jones University with a B.S. in Accounting, Nikki started working as an auditor at KPMG (one of the largest accounting firms in the world). In 2019, Nikki transferred from KPMG to the US firm, Cherry Bekaert and continued her work as an auditor until 2022. During her corporate career Nikki audited a wide range of companies from some of the largest publicly traded companies to local family owned businesses. Nikki audited businesses across many industries, including: Automotive, Restaurant/Food Service, Oil and Gas, Medical/Hospitals, Biomedical, Manufacturing, Education, Real Estate and Finance. Auditing such a wide variety of companies has given Nikki unique insights into the challenges and opportunities of building businesses of all sizes.
Today, Nikki continues her lifelong passion for horses by helping create new and meaningful experiences for countless people who love horses and desire the life lessons, adventures, and rich memories only horses can bring.
