HIGHER FARM HORSE CAMP
This all round camp is perfectly suited to each individuals needs as lessons are given either privately or in well matched pairs. This means that you will get the most out of your time with us !
Date
Fri 13th to Sun 15th August
What's included
Day 1: You will arrive and have chance to settle your horses into their home for the weekend.
To start the camp you will have a private lesson with Leanne from Equi-Pole. These sessions are great fun and will really get you and your horse thinking. Together, you will learn rhythm, straightness, engagement and much more from your 1:1 tuition.
Our off-road hacking is fantastic, so why not mount early and warm up for your lesson by taking a stroll down to our river through the fields? Or post lesson you could use this as the perfect cool down. The riding field is open and available to campers at no extra cost throughout the weekend!
The evening will consist of a quiz so please bring a smart phone or devise to play on!
Day 2: In the morning you will have a shared lesson with Fit2Ride using Franklin Balls! This is a fantastic technique used to communicate the horses movements more clearly to the rider, thus building a greater harmony between the two. A lot of equestrians will ride with 'the hand break on'; the Franklin method will teach you to ride more effectively producing free flowing movement and a better picture all round.
After lunch, we will talk through the benefits and advantages of our water treadmill. How this technology can be used to fitten or rehabilitate your horse.
Every horse on the camp will then have a time slot to use our water treadmill and feel the benefits discussed.
For an additional cost of just £20 you can top up your horses treatments and also use the combi floor! This develops muscle tone and improves your horses circulation- a great recovery for half way through the camp.
Day 3: In the morning you will have a flat work lesson with Chloe Vell. In this private 30 minute lesson you will discuss cutting edge, new techniques. Chloe works closely alongside Carl Hester and her training is carried through to her teaching.
Come the afternoon you will finish on a pairs jumping lesson (this can be swapped for a cavaletti lesson if you prefer your feet on the ground).
Costs
£275 including the elements listed above and human feed and 2 bales of bedding.
£50 deposit to save your space!
Discounts are available for Higher Farm liveries and those who have been to camp previously.
Note: please provide own tent or lorry with living space, electric hook up can be provided.
