Horsemanship Camps

Our Horsemanship Camps are for equestrians who are interested in developing their partnership with their horse by learning to read them better, using groundwork, improving your timing and feel, and solving problems that can arise from a horse’s fear.

Your horsemanship sessions will be run by the exceptionally talented Joe Midgley, and will focus on what horses need from us, and how to help them find safety and confidence in you, while Dr Krissie Ivings will share her knowledge on rider confidence and Peak Performance.

What our campers say

“Krissie is absolutely amazing. After riding for years in my teens, I totally lost my confidence. I was terrified and never thought t I would sit on a horse again, let alone be cantering and jumping. In my first session I was petrified sat on my daughter’s horse on a lead rein. 3 sessions later I was jumping a metre. Absolutely unbelievable and totally down to Krissie’s sessions”

All the team are so lovely and helpful. Positive vibes all weekend, great trainers too and gorgeous food! What more do you need?

I would recommend to anyone, regardless of ability and experience, you will improve so much without even realizing.

I started writing this for a friend who asked me about the camp in a private message and thought that sounds like a review so here it is. Krissie who runs it was on our yard for ages and is a clinical psychologist - she has not had the easiest of rides in following her dream of being able to event but has stuck with the highs and lows that horses bring and so gets it. The 3 coaches are my go to coaches that I have oodles of faith in and love the fact that they are truly interested in helping to improve all abilities not just elite athletes which I and many are not x

I cannot recommend Krissie enough. After a couple of nasty falls, my last one at the mounting block it completely shattered my confidence and I was at a point that I'd decided in my own head I could never get on my much loved horse again! Luckily Krissie is at our stables and offered to help. She worked a miracle because after 1 session I was back on ! She is still working with me and today I even ventured out of the arena. She’s fantastic at what she does and I'll always be grateful xxxx

Just returned from our first ever camp - I can’t recommend it enough! If you’re unsure trust me it’s worth every penny and more.

It’s so well organised from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble, they listen to you, the coaches were amazing and just get the best out of you and your horse.

I will definitely be booking again for next year.

Thanks for everything.
