It has good stabling and riding facilities which includeboth an indoor and an outdoor arena, a show jumping surface, BE80, BE90 and BE100 cross country fences, plus a mini cross country course and 100 acres of woodland and grass for hacking on site.
The camp is open to Members who will have attained their 10th birthday by 31st August 2018 and have attended at least one mounted working rally since 1st September 2017.
As the Branch Committee has agreed to provide a subsidy towards the cost of camp the fee will be £250.
