Multi Day Camps Look at our Calendar Book Now

Camp Outline

Horsemanship Camps generally run for 5 full days. Participants usually arrive on the day before the course – and meet for dinner. We aim to provide 6 hours of tuition every day plus time for you to play with your horse. After dinner each night you can party, or relax and review the day with Instructors and other students.

Venues for camps vary from Beach Resorts to 10,000acre properties maybe Equestrian facilities or IHI itself, however no matter which venue, you can be assured our aim remains the same and that is to provide you with the most enjoyable, satisfying, energising learning experience possible and still be legal!

During the five days of horsemanship, the Instructor will encourage, support and challenge you at your level. He will tailor the course to your particular requirements, so that you can go away with your thoughts, concerns and questions clarified.

The camps generally cover topics including:

On-Line – whether you are on the 12’, 22’, 45’ or savvy string

How to get more respect than you thought possible
How to build gait changes
How to use your phases like a horse might
Does your horse see you as a leader or a lug?

Freestyle – halter, bridle, carrot stick, string, bridle less
