Clothing: Riders should wear comfortable clothing (not restrictive or baggy). If they don’t have jodphurs (riding pants) then trackpants or leggings are better than jeans. Long sleeves provide better protection than short sleeves (o singlets or tank tops), and layers are great!
Footwear: Footwear needs to be solid with a small heel and smooth sole. Sneakers and other completely flat shoes are not suitable; gumboots or work-type boots are okay in the short term. “Jodhpur boots” (riding boots) are the best.
Helmet: Helmets can be provided. If you bring your own helmet, it must be a horse riding helmet (bike helmets do not provide sufficient protection) with a three-point harness and an up-to-date safety certification.
Cancellations: Booking cancellations need to be received no less than 48 hours in advance or you will be charged the full amount, as we usually run waiting lists and need to have time to notify another rider.
Arrival and departure: Please arrive and depart no more than 15 minutes before and after your session times; we are not able to supervise children for extended periods.
Payment: Payment on or before the day by cash, cheque or internet banking. The EVRS bank account is 12-3135-0116944-02 (Mrs K D Teesdale); please put the rider’s initials and the date of the session as the reference e.g. AA 09JUL18.

EQUESTRIAN DAY CAMP
Perfect for riders whose parents are working, who want to fit in riding amongst other activities, or who want to practically live out here the entire week. We ride morning and afternoon (weather permitting), with riders split into groups by level. The rest of the day is filled with horsey and non-horsey activities (horsemanship, games, crafts & baking) - outdoors as much as possible. Bring riding clothes plus a change of clothes, and food and drink for the day. There will be no cancelled days. Beginners to advanced.
One day (9AM-4PM): $100/rider
Whole week: $450/rider
Riders on own horse: 25% discount
