Dear Pony Clubbers,
EASTER CAMP IS CANCELLED
The HKPC Easter Camp will be held at Tuen Mun Public Riding School from April 16-18. This camp and is open to all HKPC members who are aged 9yrs and above and for Novice to Advanced riding levels. Due to the lack of people able to help, we will not be able to offer places for beginner riders who need to be on the lead rein. All riders should be able to walk and trot confidently on an unknown pony.
CAMP INFORMATION
Camp will start at approximately 9am and finish at 5pm on Day 1-2. Day 3 is competition day and will finish at midday. The competition will be followed by a Prize Giving and will finish at around 12.30pm.
Activities: Each child will be have their own horse/pony with them for the whole of camp. They will ride in groups of up to 6 twice a day on Day 1 and 2. They will also be able to have a go at vaulting, which is basically gymnastics on horseback and is great fun.
One of the very important parts of camp is learning how to look after the ponies.
The Pony Club very much encourages mentorship and we love having the older more experienced members look after and help the younger, less experienced campers. This is a very important part of being a Pony Club member and having the opportunity
There will also be non stable activities such as horsey arts and crafts.
