Camps

We run 3 different camps during the summer.

Mini camp, usually held in August, for our youngest members, including those on a lead rein. The camp is usually held at Burghley Park and is attended daily.

Our juniors and seniors can attend a daily camp in Burghley Park at the end of July.

A residential camp is also run for our senior members.

Camps are huge fun.  Members are put into rides of a similar age and ability and participate in all kinds of activities (e.g. flatwork, show jumping, cross country jumping, handy pony, mounted and dismounted games, demonstrations, water fights, etc).
