Every rider will be free to choose how to use their riding periods. There will be a choice between riding lessons, free riding on our tracks under supervision, entering into our competition or simply to take a riding tour with one of our instructors.
Everyone will be responsible for their horse, its tack and its stall.
You may bring your own horse, any breed is acceptable, but you must have a vet’s certificate of clean health (less than 8 days old) and an up to date vaccination certificate.
We hope all our guests have a safe and pleasant camp, with or without their horse.
