Pony Camp

All Camps will be held at Filston Farm

Mini Camp

A day camp, ponies stay overnight and the children go home.

Junior Camp:

The cost of Junior Camp will be confirmed by April.  The cost will include two riding lessons a day, daily stable management lesson, visiting lectures/talk, accommodation for your pony, hay and straw (shavings not provided) lunch, drinks and loads of fun as well as learning!

Senior Camp runs at the same time as Junior Camp, but with overnight camping and evening entertainment.

Those not wishing to camp are welcome to join for the daytime only, going home maybe after the evening activities.

You need to have been to one rally before attending camp, so that we know your ability and so you get the most out of camp.

The Rosebowl and Charrington Cup 

This competition is held with West Kent (Sevenoaks) Pony Club, for members aged 12 years and under on the day, to win a huge silver cup in memory of Mrs Charrington, former DC of West Kent Hunt Branch in the 1950’s.

It starts about 10am with Condition and Turnout, followed by Riding and Jumping.  It is a social day so take a picnic and a chair and stay on for the inter-club show jumping competition in the afternoon.

Even if you are over 12 years old you can still come to the afternoon jumping, which starts about 2pm.

In 1947 West Kent Hunt Pony Club became so big and covered such a large area it set up a sub-branch of West Kent (Meopham)

In 1972 West Kent Hunt was split into two pony clubs – Meopham and Sevenoaks

In order to keep the connection between the clubs we hold the annual competition, taking turns in hosting it. There is no entry fee

Sevenoaks host it at Judd Wood Farm, Haysden Road, Tonbridge

Meopham host it at Filston Farm, Shoreham, TN14 5JU

 

In 2017 we hosted and West Kent (Sevenoaks) Pony Club won the Charrington Cup
