    What a stunning place! My daughter did a holiday day camp and had the best time. Lovely teachers, horses and facilities. We will definitely be back.

    *****
    My 6 year old had the time of her life at the school holiday program. From learning about how to care for the horses to riding them solo. I was amazed how well she handled riding the horse on her own! She said her fav part was learning how to trot. We couldnt be happier with the experience and will def be back next school holidays.
