School Holiday Horse Riding Camps
During school holidays, Glenworth Valley's horse riding camps offer children aged 5-18 years the opportunity to see what it is like to own their own horse.
Glenworth Valley's camps are graded so as to maximise enjoyment of all participants. Our camps are extremely popular and cater for the complete beginner to the advanced pony club rider. The camps offer various sessions each day with each session in accordance with a training plan that includes grooming, saddling, ground control, walking, trotting and cantering, jumping, sporting, mounted games and scenic trail rides through rock pools and rainforests. As riders advance we will progress to lateral movement, rounding and collecting.
Children are required to bring their own food, drinks, sunscreen, a sun hat, suitable sun wise riding attire (such as a long sleeve shirt), waterproof rain jacket and a warm jumper for the day. Swimmers and a towel are also recommended for summer camps.
