About Main Camp:

Ponies arrive at Camp on Monday 29^th July for Vet Inspection. It is recommended that the children arrive around 8am on the first morning. Passport and flu vaccinations must be up to date for ponies to be admitted. Ponies attending Camp should be fit, clean, tidy, well shod, pulled mane and trimmed tail. You will be asked to trot up by the vet to check that your pony is sound.

This is a great week of instruction for the children. The children are divided into groups of similar age/ability and are allocated an instructor for the week. The whole day is spent with the ponies where the children are expected the feed, muck out, ride, groom, and clean tack. They will ride once/twice a day and will be brought to different areas of the complex to learn the different discipline. A great week is had by all. 

Children who wish to attend Camp MUST BE seen at the pre-Camp rallies. This gives an opportunity for the children to get to know one another before coming into Camp and allow instructors to accurately decide what group a child should be in.

Any queries regarding Camp can be directed to Yvonne Farrell or June Loughran.
