Highlights
Outing Highlights
Hands‑on grooming and tacking
Campers are taught stable management basics: grooming, tacking (saddle and bridle) and general horse care in a supervised setting, with tasks repeated and developed over multi‑day bookings.
Progressive riding in small groups
Riding lessons are tailored to each child’s ability, run in small groups (up to six children) and include arena work and country lane treks; multi‑day camps build progressively on skills.
Halloween themed fun with pony games
The camp carries a Halloween theme and mixes lessons with pony games or lead‑out activities under staff supervision, combining stable work and playful, themed sessions.
What the day feels like
What a session feels like
Each 3‑hour session moves from stable management to mounted work: children start with grooming and tacking, learn about feeding and general care, then progress to a riding lesson suited to their level and finish with pony games or lead‑outs. Small groups and ability‑split sessions keep instruction focused and hands‑on.
