PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY
Thank you so much for your interest in our BYRDS residential camp this year. Our camps are always well
supported so please apply in good time to avoid disappointment.
“So, here we are another one for you all to enjoy!”
We have been so lucky to secure the expertise of International Coach David Hunt who is Director of Training
at British Dressage. He needs no introduction whatsoever & for those of you that haven’t witnessed him in
action all I can say it is a real eye opener and it will have you wanting to tack up your horse and get training,
training, training!! David will be with us on the Saturday evening and work with Ami Maclean & Richard
Barrett with their beautiful horses.
Camp will be held at Addington Manor EC, Nr.Buckingham, Buckinghamshire MK18 2JR from the evening of
Friday 3rd May to Sunday 5th May. If you would like to take a look at their superb facilities etc. please visit
their website at http://www.addingtonmanor.co.uk
On the Friday you will need to arrive at Addington between 3pm to 6pm. There will be a stable manager on site
who will direct you to your stable & once your horse is settled in you will need to come along to the cafe &
register your arrival with me. Your bridal number and times for Saturday and Sunday will be available. We will
all meet up in the VIP suite at 7.30pm for your welcome drink, nibbles & debrief for the weekend, and our 2012
prize giving.
COACHES
We have the very best coaches on hand to help you over the weekend. We have chosen coaches that are
