Description
Horse Riding is both a sport and a pastime enjoyed worldwide – our course focuses on the sporting elements of show jumping and dressage as well as covering the basics of grooming and stable management.
Our Horse Riding Camp is perfect for students who have a love of horses and would like to improve their stable management and riding ability alongside developing their English language skills with other keen riders.This 2-week course is suitable for both beginner and more advanced riders, however we would recommend students to have some experience of being around horses.
When our Horse Riding students are not at the stables, they will be on-campus taking part in either fun and interactive EFL lessons, or a programme of adventure activities in addition to enjoying excursions to local towns, cities or attractions.
Course Includes
This 2-week long course includes 15 hours at the stables; there will be 5 sessions over 2 weeks in either the morning
or afternoon (Wednesdays will be reserved for an excursion). The students will have half a session of riding and half a session of stable management.
Our riding instructors are Pony Club qualified and will begin by assessing all students, including basic riding positions in
walk, trot and canter. During the course, students will also learn stable management and how to safely handle the horse, including securely tying up, leading, grooming, tacking up and feeding. At the end of the 2-weeks, our riders will have the opportunity to show off new skills with a ‘Dressage and Show Jumping competitionʼ where rosettes will be awarded. Students should have a much better understanding of equestrian care and stable management and will have improved their riding ability.
Equipment Required
Students should not bring riding helmets, all helmets and equipment will be provided due to British standards. Riders are welcome to bring their own specific riding clothing such as jodhpurs and boots.
