I had booked for 2 riding camps this year, one in June, and one in September. The June one was cancelled but the September one went ahead with rider numbers slightly reduced to comply with Covid regs.
The format was arrive Thursday night, then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday have 2 ridden lessons a day. Stabling, horse bedding and rider food were provided. There were also some non ridden activies (Yoga, meditation and conformation). Harvey went well for me although I gave him a lot of extra hard feed to cope with the extra work and he was a bit sporty (to the point I very nearly fell off in the flatwork!)
First on Thursday was a jigsaw puzzle:
Done!
Socially distanced Harvey (every other stable empty)
Socially distanced lorries
Not a bad place to be!
I made sure the lorry was nice and tidy inside (!!)
Harvey likes a graze to start the day
Good job he's in my social bubble
Polework was first
Then flatwork
On to Saturday - XC technique
