Summer Camps
A week of fun and learning centred on ponies and horses
Our summer camps are open to riders of all abilities - from complete beginners to experienced competitors. Participants are divided into small groups of no more than eight, matched by age and ability, so every rider gets the attention and progression they deserve.
Each group takes part in two riding sessions every day alongside hands-on horse care throughout the week. Whether your child brings their own pony or rides one of our school horses, they will leave with new skills, new friends, and a whole lot of confidence.
