Horseback riding camp - 7 year old

Any recommendations for horseback riding for a 7 year old? I thought I saw a couple of week long summer camps but can't find any recent feedback. We are located Berkeley/Oakland area.

My 7 year old loves loves loves Nola Giddings. Her operation is called Nola Giddings Peruvian Pasos Horses. She is in El Sobrante right off 80, a surprisingly often short drive from our Berkeley home. She has an unstructured approach that may work better for some kids/parents than others. It is a modest facility. Kids ride most days unless its raining and also care for the horses. You would be amazed how much kids enjoy shoveling manure! To my girls, 7 and 11 years old, the whole Nola experience is absolute heaven! They would live there if I let them. Contacting her is also a bit hit or miss so please be patient.
