RESIDENTIAL PONY CAMP
Quality Horses and Ponies
They are simply the best that money can buy! We have schoolmasters that can teach you to jump a course of show jumps, safe ponies that can give you your first gallop across a stubble field or equally competition horses to enjoy jumping and dressage! We pride ourselves on the quality of our equine team. Take a look at our 'Meet the Horses' page and you will soon see why!
Outstanding
Instructors
Highly experienced, motivated and approachable. Our team simply loves Pony Camp! It is our favourite time of year and our priority is to deliver the best possible experience for each and every camper!
We have highly qualified coaches with fantastic teaching ability and knowledge to make sure pony camp not only builds confidence but also gains personal skills. We understand pony camps (we've been doing it or 20 years) and make sure we deliver each individual the holiday of a lifetime! Year after year we have campers returning from all across the world (even as far as Dubai!)
Stunning Location
We are set in the beautiful South Shropshire countryside in our own 30 acre nature reserve complete with:
-
Beautiful Lake
-
Woodland Area
-
40x60 Outdoor Arena
-
Cross Country Course
Our trail rides and hacking include some fabulous off road riding which may include herds of wild ponies on the hill or the local deer in the Wyre Forest.
We are so lucky to have so many scenic routes.
The
Friendships
Campers love the camaraderie and often form life long friendships with their new camp friends- and they all have that shared passion which is horses!
The evenings are as equally as important as the day and our evening activities and meals give the opportunity for team building and offer new experiences which form memories that last a life time!
We still have 'ex campers' returning each year with friends they made over 10 years ago at camp!
The
Variety
We give our pony campers the chance to try everything. Each small group can help plan with their instructors the timetable for the week. We do it all! Lessons, hacks, trail rides, picnic rides, show jumping, cross country, mounted games, polo cross, western, race riding and dressage. There is never a dull moment with the highlight being the shows and competitions. We also now have an olympic size arena and new cross country course which means plenty of variety!
Safety First
Before you book you may want to reassure yourself of our impeccable attention to safety! Steph owns and runs the centre along with her husband Anthony (for 30 years and they live on site!) Anthony runs sister company which includes adventure/ training and
travel.
Each group has a senior instructor and even once the day is over there are two senior leaders who take over of an evening- they are on 24 hour duty. We are happy to talk to any parents personally or you are most welcome to come and visit the centre before your camp.
Catering and Accommodation
We have brand new Glamping Pods! Sleeping up to 5 in beautiful wooden pods with a purpose built shower and toilet block right next door. We can also accommodate groups of teenagers on our campsite too. The pods are all surrounding the campsite so its nice and peaceful- well as peaceful as it gets during summer camp!
Our pony camps are fully catered for by our very own chef who makes some of the best home made meals around- the puddings are normally very popular! Special diets can also be catered for.
Evening Activities
Just when you think the fun is over!
We go the extra mile... on an evening after a busy day in the saddle you will find yourself sitting by the campfire toasting marshmallows, running round the woods in an epic battle of Laser Tag or on the jumbo stand up paddle board trying to get your camp mates soaked!
Late night fun and smiles all round. Nowhere else can offer our range of evening activities on site which could also include Joust, Archery, Climbing, Caving and more....
