Wits End Equestrian Centre
"All About Horses" Day Camp
Seasoned Rider Program
All riders with previous experience qualify for this level. On your first day we'll ask you a few questions to find out what you've done, what you've forgotten, and what you'd like to accomplish.
At this level we see a wide range of skill and ability. Some parts of the program will involve group instruction (demonstrations and talks), and some will be one-on-one so that we can be sure each rider's needs are met.
At this stage the Program includes:
- Review of riding Basics: mounting, riding position, balance
- Progression to more advanced riding
- Options: (each rider can choose which of these they are comfortable with) jumping, dressage, mounted games, trail riding, polo.
- Horse care: each rider is assigned a horse and is responsible for looking after it. (grooming, feeding, bathing)
- Stable management
- Grooming: advanced techniques
- Hoof care
Advanced riders at this level are invited to go on a trail ride to the river. Our instructors focus on safety, learning and fun for all.
