TATHREN STUD HOLIDAY CAMPS

Holiday camps at Tathren Stud are unique. We do not require our pupils to share a school horse for the day. We guarantee that each pupil will be allocated a school horse that is suitable to their riding ability. School holiday camp bookings are limited to ensure that each pupil receives maximum time in the saddle. All riding is carried out under the supervision of a qualified instructor.

Tathren Stud and Riding School will be conducting holiday riding camps for the school holidays. Each pupil will be allocated their very own horse for the day.  Our camps cater for all levels of riding, from your beginner riders right through to advanced riders. Camps are open to pupils of Tathren Stud and Riding school only.
