This venue has the flexibility to cater for everyone, from young, green and grass roots horses (and riders) plus those looking to build confidence, up to BE Novice and we would love to see a variety of combinations joining us there! We have managed to secure Melissa Chapman of Team Chapman Equestrian to teach Flatwork sessions on the first afternoon.
Mel has successfully trained and competed up to Grand Prix level and trains a wide variety of clients from Introductory/Prelim level right up to inter 1 level.
Mel has also ridden BE up to advanced level, so she has an experienced eye for eventing dressage too!
Mel is positive and enthusiastic in her teaching and loves to encourage and support riders of any level by drawing on her extensive knowledge to improve their horses way of going, in order to excel in any discipline.
Emma Hawksby, 4* International Event Rider will run the rest of the sessions over the next 2 days of camp.
Emma is a BHS Stage 4 in complete horsemanship. She holds her UKCC Level 2 and is a fully qualified first aider.
Emma has successfully produced & horses of her own up to international 4* BE Level & has produced & competed clients horses up to Intermediate BE Level. She also competes BD up to Advanced Medium Level & BS up to 130, so she has well rounded experience of all disciplines, making her the perfect choice for the main camp instructor.
Emma is based in Tow Law & runs a full livery yard. She also takes in horses for breaking, rehabilitation, schooling & competing.
There are very limited spaces available (12) and the cost of this camp is £375.00 per person.
