Confidence Camps
Two days of fun and education for you and your horse. Suitable for anyone who ever worries about getting on, going fast, going competing, going on the road, getting squashed whilst leading or any other fear you may have. We use EFT (a meridian energy therapy) and practical, achievable exercises (both mounted and dismounted) to identify the source of both you and your horses' insecurity and show you easy ways to overcome them.
This is an interactive confidence workshop for horse and owner. We use a combination of theory and practice with the emphasis being on experiential learning, allowing you to come and work on the things that are currently holding you back.
The price includes your meals for the weekend, stable, shavings and hay for your pony. If you want to you can bring a sleeping bag and bunk down in our clean, comfortable static caravan or set up camp on site.
