Notes about this camp:

• Nothing is posted out -  please ask us to post info if you cant get access to the web.
• Stable ready after stated time above, early arrivals will not get access to the stable block and will have to park on the right hand side of the yard. (This is a strict Somerford Park Policy).
• You can arrive earlier for the farm ride. This is a 6.5mile ride with jumps and a river crossing, you have to book this and pay the centre direct on 01260 299888. Please ring before coming as sometimes the ride is closed if wet.
• 2 disciplines per day included in the price, on Saturday and Sunday, XC & Show jumping. (Same disciplines both days). Note that Cross country lessons may be switched to showjumping and are entirely dependant on the weather. This decision will be driven by Somerford Park Farm and is a safety issue.
