Senior Camp (21 - 23 July)
Senior Camp is for children aged 10 years and over, the children and ponies are encouraged to stay at camp
The ponies stay at camp, all in stables, so the children are responsible for all the duties to look after them such as feeding and mucking out. Experienced help is always on hand and the camp supervisor / instructors will oversee equine welfare and management.
Members will be grouped into rides according to age and experience and will work with different instructors during camp, normally riding twice a day in addition to stable management lessons.
Accommodation is in shared caravans, horseboxes or tents provided by members, but we can always match people up if you have no one to share with.
Meals are eaten in the classroom which is our main ‘base’ and used for a number of other activities.
The last day is competition day to which parents are invited along to watch and when everyone can win lots of rosettes.
Senior camp is really good fun and teaches children so much about life and responsibilities. Hopefully everyone goes home happy and very tired!
Parents are expected to help cover the evening supervision if members are to stay overnight at camp!
Middle & mini camps
Middle camp is for members 9 years and under (24 - 26 July)
Mini camp is for members 6 years and under (28 - 30 July)
At both of these camps children go home each day after tea, although ponies can stay over.
For middle camp all ponies will be stabled.
The children are split into groups
depending on their age and ability. We have helpers at both of these camps
to assist the younger members with various tasks such as tacking up.
There will be various competitions on the last day of camp which parents are
invited to come along and watch. Camp is designed to encourage, give
confidence and really progress members’ riding and knowledge, but most of
all to have fun!
