The basis of all courses is quality riding instruction
We systematically guide children from the very beginning to the secrets of classical horse riding.
Riding lessons, including theory and other practical riding and horsemanship skills, are geared more sportingly and towards moving through basic rider training tests into the competitive sport of dressage and park jumping on both pony and big horses. However, this focus of instruction is also very meaningful for riders who want to ride more recreationally and have no racing ambitions, because of course the better the basics children have, the safer they can ride, for example, on countryside rides.
- As a supplement, we still offer language lessons: at least 1-2 lessons of “horse” English are included in all camps. The language lessons are focused on horses and equestrian sports so that the children are able to move around in a different “horse” environment. Children will take home printed teaching materials.
- Conditioning exercises complementing the equestrian sport: children start each day with exercises under the supervision of a tutor, appropriately compensating for riding.
Horse riding training
It is possible to register both beginners and very advanced children – for example, children with a riding license or with their own horse – for all holiday camps. Riding lessons are held separately for children with different levels of riding maturity and the children complement each other very well. The training is conducted by experienced equestrian trainers (two trainers with the highest possible qualifications in the CJF, other trainers cooperating externally are among the top trainers and judges in dressage and jumping). In some parts the work with children is led by trained instructors (longe training, nature walks).
In the basic program each child has one training lesson per day, or additional lessons can be ordered (the lessons are very intensive and even when completing only the basic program, progress in riding training is noticeable).
There is an indoor riding arena 21 x 41 m and several outdoor riding arenas with different surfaces. For many of the courses, children at the appropriate level of training can be entered into various hobby and official level competitions on both the farm’s horses and their own.
Training can be done whatever the weather or in the evenings.
All holiday courses are suitable for both beginners and advanced riders – please indicate on the application form. Limited capacity camps – both due to horse occupancy and to maintain quality equestrian training. We give preference to children who regularly attend lessons and children who have participated in camps or other farm events before.
The camp culminates with small races in front of the parents. Children receive a special certificate of completion for each course.
