Senior Camp this year will be held from Tues 8th August to Friday 11th August 2017 at Hazlehead Hall Equestrian We have managed to keep the price the same as last year at £90.
Holding Pens are available in an adjoining field for horses throughout the week at £15 per horse. You will need to bring electric fencing and stake your own pen out. The pens are staked out on grass but they will not be huge so you will need to bring additional forage for your horse. You will also need to poo pick your pen before leaving on Friday.
Camping is available at £20 per pitch you can set your paddock up and pitch your tent from 5pm on Mon 7th August
For those who haven’t been to camp before. The format will be:
During the day
Tuesday through to Thursday there will be one lesson in the morning and one lesson in the afternoon with your allocated instructor.
Friday will be competition day where you will compete against the other members of your group. There will be a choice of Intro C Prelim 14 or N22 dressage tests. You will be given a copy of your chosen test on the first day this is your copy to keep look after it because you will need it to practice and learn your test.
There will be a round of show jumps with an optimum time. A small XC course also with an optimum time and a fun class of some description maybe a handy pony/horse type class.
You will be placed into an appropriate group depending on your age, ability, experience and confidence which is why it is so important to complete the application form fully. We will do our best to put you in a group with your choice of instructor but we feel it is also important to have a group who are all at the same level too. If you are put into a group you are not happy with please let us know.
Safety is very important and riders must wear riding hats up to current safety standards, suitable footwear and clothing. Body protectors are also strongly recommended for all lessons and are compulsory for any XC participation. You must also have sufficient public liability insurance
Groups are all taught by qualified professional instructors.
