Pony camp with Diane Hull

Over Easter and summer the Pony Club Centre at Sedbergh Prep School will once again play host to the amazing Pony Camp, led by the inspirational Dianne Hull.

After a brief assessment the children will then be led on a fun filled adventure where they will take part in stable and tack management, dressage, show jumping and all-round pony care. The course offers the opportunity to bring your own pony or the use of the charismatic resident Prep School pony’s.

If you wish to bring your own pony, then please contact Events Manager to discuss further:- eventsmanager@sedberghschool.org

During camp week we will have demonstrations by a selection of equine professionals, giving the children experiences they may never have had before. The dentist, farrier, vet and physio can offer an insight into how we care for our ponies beyond their day-to-day routine.

The facilities include a 40m by 20m outdoor arena, a jumping paddock with cross country and show jumps and 25 acres of land used for field based tuition and trekking.

We aim to offer a variety of experiences, tailored to individual ability, which will help Children to develop their independence in and out of the saddle.

Please note as a minimum requirement children need to be able to walk and trot confidently off the lead rein.

The experience doesn’t stop there. With a comprehensive evening programme to further enhance our core values we have introduced a residential option for 8-11 year olds on courses based at Sedbergh Preparatory School. This unique opportunity allows children to taste the full boarding experience. The Easter course will be residential at Casterton Sedbergh Prep and the summer courses will be based at Casterton, but will be residential at Sedbergh along side all our other courses.
