Our Holiday Camps are always full of fun with plenty of challenges and new things to learn.

Children are in a safe environment and will be under adult supervision at all times.

Children from the age of 5 and older are welcome to join the camp.

Whether your child has never touched or ridden a horse before or is a beginner, intermediate or advanced rider, the instruction and activities at this camp will challenge and improve his/her riding skills. There is something for everyone to learn. We also teach the beginners the basics of horse riding (to control and steer a horse properly).

Our aim is to capture your child’s love of horses, then create programs through riding and caring for horses that will improve their confidence and self esteem. Children will also be made aware that horses need lots of care.

We hope to, at all times, strengthen the relationship between horse and rider. Your child will experience responsibility of working as a team member. And will also learn how to set personal goals and to create a plan for accomplishing those goals.

Every child will be responsible for his/her own horse and stable for the week. They will be responsible for the cleaning and care of the horse and stable and daily duties will include, morning feeding of horses, brushing and grooming, cleaning out the hooves, cleaning stables, saddling, riding lessons, bathing the horse etc.

We will teach the children to groom and to use the various accessories and tools used in the caring of horses. This will include instruction on how to brush the coat, clean and oil the hooves, groom and plait the mane and tail for shows, clean the eyes and nose and to examine the horse for injuries before riding.

A farrier will come and show the children how he does the horses’ hooves including showing them how he puts the shoes on and every child will get their own horse shoe to take home.

There are also classes teaching key topics in care and working safely with horses.

Some fun activities include : horse riding twice a day with outrides, feeding farm animals, swimming, games, quizzes, pony cart rides, jumping castle, trampoline, volley ball, swing ball, cricket set and kids quad bikes…

Competitions are held such as - which stable is the cleanest, best groomed horse, best tack and turn out, fancy dress for horses, potato race, sack races and other games.
