However, in some cases older children will be accepted if they are not considered ready for midi camp. If there are spaces you may apply to both Mini and Midi camps, children will be considered on an individual basis. If you are unsure please speak to the Barbara Milburn. Camp is for three days, 10am to 4pm, and is not residential. However, you may if you wish, leave the pony at camp and they are turned out at night in a paddock at your own risk. Children ride twice each day and helpers/ leaders are provided. Parents do not stay during the day but are invited back for the last afternoon to watch the children perform, followed by tea and presentations. Children bring their own packed lunch.
Page 7 Deer Park Farm, Wedgnock, Warwick, 7 th to 9 th August, £70 Camp Organiser : Michelle Davies 01926 484237 or 07828 129353 Midi camp is for those who, by the start of camp, have attained their 9 th birthday and have not reached their 11 th birthday. However, older children will be accepted if they are considered not ready for main camp. If there are spaces you may apply to more than one camp, children will be considered on an individual basis. If you are unsure please speak to the Liz Grindal or Michelle Davies to discuss which camp is most suitable. Camp is residential for two nights and the ponies are accommodated overnight in fields either separated by your own electric pens (preferable) or in paddocks split between mares and geldings. Children may sleep in caravans, tents and lorry’s (no trailers please). Do not worry if you have no one to sleep with, we will help you find someone. There will be at least two adults sleeping over with the children each night. All meals are provided but parents are asked for a contribution to one evening meal, plus a homemade cake! Parents will be asked to help in the kitchen in preparing meals on a rota basis and are invited back on the last afternoon to watch their children ride. Each ride has an Instructor and two helpers, so there is plenty of help for the children should they need it. Children do not need to be able to tack up but should be confident in handling their own pony. They will be given the opportunity to do flatwork, games, show jumping and cross-country, but no child will be forced to jump if the pony does not jump (e.g. games ponies) or if they are not ready. In the evening they will take part in evening activities. Offchurch Bury, Offchurch, 22 nd to 27 th July, £230 Camp Organiser : Gill Bleloch, 01926 817369 or 07788 823476 Main Camp is for those who have attained their 11 th birthday by the first day of camp and considered ready. Please discuss with Gill Bleloch, camp organiser, if you are unsure as to which camp will suit. Camp is residential for five nights and the ponies/horses are stabled for the entire period. Children may sleep in caravans, tents or lorry’s (no trailers please). Do not worry if you have no one to sleep with we will help you find someone. There will be adults sleeping over with the children each night. If there is anyone who can lend us a caravan to be used by parents sleeping over then please contact Gill Bleloch. All meals are provided for both your child and their pony/horse. Parents are asked to help in preparing all meals on a rota basis. Parents are invited to the barbeque evening on Thursday night, should you need to come into camp for any other reason, for safety reasons, you are asked to report to designated people first. Each ride has an Instructor and Junior Instructor, children need to be able to tack up and handle their own ponies and be safe in open fields. Offchurch Bury offers wonderful facilities, including an exceptional cross-country course. We want camp to be available to all members and therefore offer the chance for those who do not jump to join in. We can accommodate non-jumpers either within specific rides, depending on numbers, or by putting them with other rides while their own ride goes off jumping. Non-jumpers can be offered polocrosse, mounted games, flatwork, river swimming and rides around the park. If you are in any doubt please speak to Gill Bleloch.
