We have done our best to open a few more spaces in camp this year, but we have to be realistic as to how much the committee, as volunteers, can manage. We hope this format works well, and that we can fit everyone in, but please join the wait list if you do not get a space intially.
The DAY camp will be split into;
5 day - Members must be 8yo & over. Capable of largely independently caring for themselves and their pony.

2 Day camp - Parents to attend and assist, suitable for those on, or recently off lead rein. Min age 5 yo on 1st Jan.
All members MUST have completed their three rallies on the pony they intend to bring BEFORE final payment on 1st July, otherwise they will forfeit their place at camp to those on waiting list.
The committee reserve the right to refuse any horse/pony they consider unsuitable for camp. Horses/ponies must be 5 or over and stallions are not allowed
