Summer pony camp in Kent

For a summer camp to remember, why not come to one of Wellgrove Farm Stables’ horse riding camps in Kent?

We have been running horse riding camps at Wellgrove for nearly 20 years, and they have proved very popular, catering for children from eight years upwards. The children camp on site in their own tents and live a complete horsey experience.

All levels of rider are welcome, and there is a lot of riding – between four and six hours each day of the pony camp – with riders divided into riding groups dependent on ability. Campers are also encouraged with many lectures, demonstrations and competitions run throughout the three days, and all these culminate in a presentation at the end of the summer pony camp.
