Our English & horse riding lessons Summer Camp caters for most levels of ability, from those who have limited riding experience to accomplished riders.

Our team of experienced horse riding lesson instructors take great care in matching riders and horses.

During their stay, students gain confidence and riding ability. Additionally, they use and improve their English language skills in and around the stable yards.

Riders at our horse riding summer camps are assessed to determine placement in our horse riding academy. Depending on their ability, they spend the week receiving tuition in dressage and show jumping as well as hacking across the beautiful English countryside.

All our training builds towards competition day each Friday. 

Riders compete in a dressage test and on a show jumping course (ability specific). Novice riders begint with poles on the ground. The program builds upwards for the more experienced riders.

A key element of our programme is stable and horse management. It is part of the daily routine and students learn to groom and prepare their horses for riding. They also study the names of the equipment they are using and the points of the horse. All tuition occurs in English.

Students require a minimum of one year's riding experience to book this course.

Please note that if you would like your child to wear a body protector, they will need to bring their own.
