86 verified UK venuesCurated by Will Bales · Last reviewed 7 May 2026

According to Saddl's directory, there are 86 UK riding schools currently listed as running holiday camps. Holiday camps are multi-day programmes combining riding lessons with stable management and horse care, typically running across a school-holiday week.

UK riding holiday camps run as either day camps (children come and go each day) or residential weeks (children stay overnight at the yard or in adjoining accommodation). Day camps are more common; residential camps are concentrated in the larger yards with on-site rider accommodation. Most camps run during school summer holidays, with smaller programmes during half-terms and Easter.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a pony day and a holiday camp?
A pony day is a single day. A holiday camp runs across multiple days, usually three to five, and may include nights at the yard. Camps cover more ground in lessons because the same group rides together for the whole week, building progress over multiple sessions.
How much does a UK riding holiday camp cost?
Day camps typically cost £150 to £350 for a five-day week. Residential camps run £400 to £900 for a week with accommodation, food, and horses included. Premium yards with full sport programmes (pony club, dressage clinics, jumping) sit at the upper end.
Are residential riding camps safe for younger children?
Most residential UK camps set a minimum age of 8 or 10 for staying overnight. Day camps are open to younger children. The minimum age is set by the yard based on their supervision capacity; ask before booking.
