Level 3/ Level 4 - Liberty and Bridle-less Camp

4th - 8th Aug 2025

Cotgreave Farm. DE7 6DA

Ideal for those working in Level 3 and 4 this course has a nice balance of Liberty and Freestyle. Learn to play at Liberty in a round pen as well as in large areas and as part of a group, it doesn't matter whether you are just starting out or quite advanced you will be given exercises and challenges to suit you. Likewise for the Freestyle elements, with a variety of different sized riding areas including flat and sloped ones you will learn how to ride your horse without reins. I'll teach you how to use patterns to be able to ride straight lines, circles, turns and transitions all from your focus and seat. You'll learn how to have your horse 'get the game', understand what you are asking and be willing to help you. Then when you are ready, put your partnership to the test and experience the exhilarating feeling of riding with no bridle or halter and being in complete control. This course has a lovely summer camp feel to it, set at the end of May with picnics, camp fires and barbecues it's a great week away with your horse learning how to do the stuff dreams are made of.
