Our second non residential camp of the year!
We are very excited to be able to bring this to you again this year.
We require our current riding school riders, as a minimum, to safely be walking, trotting and steering independently. Riders who are already riding in our groups will already be achieving this. Don’t worry!, you still have time to get your child’s riding skills brushed up by booking some 1:1 lessons, please let the instructor know that this is your goal to get to camp.
Body protectors, own hats and gloves are compulsory every day
9.30am to 4pm
There will be a LOT going on ( things may change due to weather but this is a good idea of what to expect) :
