Ever fancy just getting away from it all and spending some quality time with your horse? Need some fun? Well perhaps you should try one of our camps! It's a great way to experience some intensive tuition from great instructors in a beautiful setting with fabulous facilities. Enjoy home cooked breakfasts, lunches, two course dinners, not to mention the cake.

Meet up with old friends or make some new ones.

Our camps normally start on Thursday evening and run until after Sunday lunch and includes five lessons in small groups with your instructor to include cross country, showjumping and dressage lessons.

Due to popularity, we run three camps each year and use superb venues at Stockland Lovell Manor, near Bridgwater and Pontispool near Taunton. Both venues have very good websites which detail their facilities including photos and directions.

Our instructors are thoroughly vetted and people are grouped according to ability and experience in order that everyone gets the most from the sessions. We normally arrange for a photographer to attend so you can have a great reminder of your achievements and fun. So whether you've a young/ inexperienced or new horse, or have more experience, the courses range from 1'6" to Intermediate, so camp is suitable for you. Just look in our previous newsletters and you'll see reports from some of this year's first timers which will give you a flavour of their experiences and I'm sure you'll be wanting to join us.

If you would like more information, please contact Rachel on bathridingclub@hotmail.com or just fill in the application form and send it off with your cheque to secure your place and avoid disappointment.

This year, we would be particularly interested for people to contact me early if you fancy coming along but have limited or no jumping experience, are very nervous or have a young or inexperienced horse (grassroots). We have found that it is often best to be with people in a similar position and so we would like to run a specific session for this dependent on sufficient interest. We are also taking expressions of interest for 'day camps' aimed specifically at our 'grassroots' members.
