Summer Camp 2012

As soon as we have information on the summer camps 2012 it will be published

Pony Club Camp, aka the Family Pony’s Annual Conference (FPAC), is where you are your little colts and fillies get to play big time with other family ponies and their herds. In fact it is just one big mad herd of horses and humans staying up late, dancing and playing games – ‘Dump your Child’ is the favourite among the ponies! The FPAC and Pony Club rallies are the best training ground for humans and a great opportunity for family ponies to compare training notes and methods, pick up tips and share experiences.

 The FPAC also provides and opportunity for you and your youngster to try new disciplines: e.g. long-distance riding (where you trot and your youngster can’t stop you for several miles), Polo (you run up and down looking for a mint with a hole for your youngster to pick up with a stick) and Racing (just an excuse for a flat-out gallop!)  At the end of a long days training you have the satisfaction of happy little humans hanging round your neck with undying love and gratitude, burying their little heads in your fur coat and pleading, ‘Please can I sleep with Willy Wonty Buckmeoff, please, Mum, please?’ And you can smile to yourself, safe in the knowledge that you have done a good job and there are extra carrots in your feed bucket!
