Camp Details

Are you a regular lesson student? Camp is a great way to explore different types of riding you may not have the chance to cover in your regular weekly lessons! Each camp will have a different theme so riders can enjoy multiple weeks of fun & learning! With special speakers & riding activities from english to western to polo, sidesaddle, vaulting, eventing and more, there are loads of new experiences at each camp!

Students will be split into groups for lessons which will be tailored to the skill level and ability of each group.

More advanced students will cover topics like course design, show prep, training theory, fitness & conditioning, natural horsemanship training, and groundwork skills like lunging, ground driving, and the use of body language to train horses.
