UK riding holiday camps for children

According to Saddl's directory, there are 120 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.
