Things to do during the Easter Holidays
During the Easter holidays Houston offers children from the age of 5 years upwards the chance to join in our "Mini Camps".
The Mini Camps run for 3 days each Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday during the week beginning 28th March and the week beginning 4th April'2005. Children are able to attend one, two or all three days.
The day runs from 10:15am until around 3:00pm, so a packed lunch is needed, and consists of a group riding lesson in the morning, stable management lessons and a second riding lesson in the afternoon. The children are supervised while being encouraged to learn more about their ponies and perform various tasks & quizzes.
The Stable Management areas covered include;
Handling Horses
Tacking up
Safety
Grooming
Feeding
Care & Maintenance of Tack
Looking after a Horse or Pony at Grass.
The Colours & Markings of Horses.
On the final day we hold a small competition for the children, where everyone gains a certificate.
Prices : 1 Day camp = £21 2 Days camp = £38 3 Days camp = £55
