This weekend is dedicated to those who love horses and life in stables. If you, or someone in your family are a horsey-mad, take this opportunity to spend two whole days with the Equestrian team for riding lessons, hacks, looking after the animals and lots of fun.

- Riding tuition, which could involve a hack to Wistlandpound Reservoir depending on the weather
- Horse-based games and riding challenges to increase confidence

- Feeding
- Other general duties to experience life in the stables to the fullest
