Join us for a full-immersion specialist equestrian Sport Horse Camp designed to develop your riding skills, build your equine knowledge, refine your horsemanship and increase your confidence in a performance setting for competition riding.
What to expect: The camp is designed to enhance equestrian knowledge, elevate riding skills, and foster personal growth, all within a supportive environment that helps riders achieve their goals. There is a specific focus on dressage and jumping. Riders will be expected to set goals for the week and achieve them under the guidance of a qualified, experienced EA Level 1 Coach. Maximum learning potential is offered with multiple ridden lessons per day, along with a great variety of additional on and off-horse activities. The week of specialist training all culminates in a competition-style final day where riders get the opportunity to put together everything they’ve learnt throughout the camp in a dressage and jumping showcase. Riders stay onsite, residing in a shared bunk room style sleeping quarters for the duration of the camp. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided. At the end of each day’s lessons, riders will participate in a variety of fun evening activities, like having their horse knowledge put to the test; sharing stories around the campfire; and enjoying a good horse movie with their new crew. Our Facilities:
Daily Meals: Meals are prepared fresh each day and dietary requirements will be catered to within reason, eg Vegetarian & Gluten Free. Breakfast is continental with pancakes on the last morning. Lunch is typically a ‘Subway’ style sandwich bar where students can build their own sandwiches. Dinner is prepared each night with Aussie classics. Fruit, muffins & muesli bars will be offered as snacks regularly. Accommodation: Students will stay in converted horse stables in bunk room style accommodation which is basic but comfortable. They will wake and step right into the indoor arena, where they will then tend to their horse’s needs before having breakfast. Cell Phones: Cell phones are allowed however use is discouraged.
