For a really fun, action packed holiday experience, try us!
This is your chance to try everything to do with horses you've read about:- have a go at Side saddle riding, Western Riding, Horseball, Polocrosse, Vaulting, Carriage Driving, Mounted Games, Showing, Show Jumping etc. etc. Riding every day, and if you want to cool down, you can swim every evening in our heated swimming pool.
How about a holiday with your own pony even? (Lots of our regulars bring their own ponies, who I think enjoy the change as much as their owners!)
If you haven't got your own pony, then we can match you up with one of ours.
Don't worry if you are a novice or have never ridden before, our ponies have done it all before, and will make you an expert in no time. Our Camps are suitable for able-bodied and disabled children, please phone to discuss details.
For 6 to 17 year olds, we offer residential camps for 3 or 5 days during the summer holidays. Every half term and holiday we have activity days, from 9.00am to 4.00pm. Each day includes a riding lesson, a practical lesson in some aspect of pony care, and various horse activities as listed below.

Our 2007 Adult camp was a great success with people aged from 18 to 50+ they all had a great time.
If you would you like to try lots of different equestrian activities including Western, Side saddle, Polocrosse, Vaulting, Carriage driving, Cross Country, Jumping, hacks etc.... this could be the holiday for you.
The Adult Camp follows the same structure as the Children's camp so be ready to move on that bell!
You can stay in our "wooden wendy houses" or bring your own tent or caravan. Be sure to bring lots of blankets and a thick sleeping mat.
All meals are provided but beware you have to do your own washing up. Wine will be available with evening meals.
The camp costs £400.00 fully inclusive. A £100.00 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place. Call in, telephone or email for a booking form. Open to anyone over 18.
Please note that this is a "fun" holiday and as such is not aimed at the serious 5 hours in the saddle rider!
The Proprietors are qualified in Riding, Carriage Driving, Voltige, Stable Management, Side Saddle and hold current first aid certificates. They are assisted by staff qualified in variations of the above. All staff attend First Aid courses regularly.
