For all children who have just completed Yr 3 to members who have just completed Yr 6 at school

A Typical Day

A typical day involves preparing your pony for the day and meeting with your instructor. This will be followed by a ridden activity in both the morning and the afternoon. Each session is different, and will include flatwork, jumping, cross country, gymkhanas and hacking out in the beautiful countryside. Lunch will not be provided this year. On sunny days everyone has the opportunity for a swim in the beautiful outdoor pool. There will also be some free time and the chance to do some badges or watch a demonstration. Past years demonstrations have included side saddle and police dogs in action.

The last day of Junior Camp is normally competition day, with Combined Training and clear round or Cross Country.

SENIOR CAMP

8-11 August 2025

For all members aged 12 and over.

Residential Camp

Senior camp is enormous fun and provides members with wide ranging training and the opportunity to be fully responsible (with supervision) for the care of their ponies. All ponies stay on site for the duration of camp.

Camp is fully residential with members either camping or staying in their lorries or trailers. All food is provided during the course of camp along with evening activities.

A typical day will comprise pony care, two ridden sessions including show jumping, cross country and flatwork and may also include some fun games and polo cross. A light lunch might be followed by a demonstration or talk and after dinner members can expect an entertaining evening activity such as unmounted games or a quiz! All in all there is lots of fun to be had.

The last day of camp is likely to be competition day where participants will be able to put into practice everything that they have learnt during the course of their stay.
