RIDING LEVELS SUITABLE FOR CAMPS

Camps are suitable for beginners through to children who can walk, trot or canter independently. We have other opportunities for more experienced riders. If siblings or friends wish to come to a camp together and one is more advanced we can accomodate that.​​

​

COACH / RIDER RATIO

Our camps are limited to just 8 children with 2 coaches so that we can ensure everyone has a quality learning experience at the level that's right for them, the support they need, and lots of fun. We'll break the campers into two groups for most activities but bring them all together for a few fun ones. Friends and siblings are welcome to stay together in the same group, otherwise groups tend to be dived into a younger and older.

​​​

WER WEATHER

We have plenty of shelter, including a covered riding area, stables, barn and hay shed, so camps will go ahead if it rains. 

​

FLEXIBLE LEARNING

We encourage children to participate in all activities, however no one is forced to do anything they feel uncomfortable about. We have enough staff and quiet spaces for children to do an alternative activity for a while, if helpful. As an inclusive riding school, we use a range teaching techniques so that everyone can learn in the way that's best for them.

WE PROVIDE

• helmets if required 

• water and fruit for breaks

PHONE POLICY

All parents will be provided with a phone number should they wish to check how their child is throughout the day. For safety reasons we do not allow our riders to have their phones wth them when working with horses. Children may bring phones but they will be collected when they arrive and returned when they leave.
