Suitable for Young horses, Restarters and new  Horse and Rider combinations.

Camp this year will consist of 2 back to back day camps, so riders can go home to showers and home comforts in the evenings. This should also help those bringing young horses, who are more likely to recover better going home each evening. Members can choose to do one day or two days. Lunch is provided, along with stables or corrals for horses. You arrive in the morning in time for your morning session. There is a morning and afternoon session scheduled on each day.

Riders will need to bring their own hay, feed, water bucket, but mucking out equipment is available to clear your stable before you leave each day. Corrals using electric fencing will already be in place, but riders should bring their own water buckets.

There is a toilet in the yard that campers can use.

Cost for one day is £80, cost for 2 days is £160.
