☀️ 😎 JAM PACKED SUMMER @ WESTACRES ⛱️☀️

There is so much going on at Westacres this summer!! From ‘Own A Pony’ weeks throughout the summer holidays, our legendary overnight camps (with adults only edition by popular demand), clinics, in house competitions, the list goes on and on. All events are now available to book on EC Pro and just drop us a message if you have any questions!

🔎FOCUS ON 🔍

Adult Horse Skills Boot Camp with Paige - every Friday evening
the 6 week course started last week, but if you’re regretting missing out, get in touch and we’ll see what we can do to get you caught up!!

XC
We’ve scheduled two mini one day events over the summer with levels designed to accommodate riders from lead rein to those looking for something much more adventurous! We would ask that anyone wanting to take part in these events first attends XC training, either:
1) David’s XC clinic on Sun 12th July; OR
2) A specialist XC lesson, bookable for riders grade 5 and above from 15th June
XC lessons are available as privates or semi privates for 45 or 60 minutes, booked in the normal way through EC Pro

🐴 SUMMER DRESSAGE LEAGUE - SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE 🤗

This Saturday is the June instalment of our dressage league and there really is something for everyone. Whether you’re looking to do your first ever dressage test or try your hand at something more advanced, we have made provision to make your day as positive and educational as possible:

1. Callers available for all tests - no need to stress about forgetting your test!
2. Specially designed lead rein class - keeping things super simple (and with limited running for leaders!) as a gentle intro to dressage! Riders are also able to compete in any intro class on the lead rein, and will be judged separately from off lead riders
3. Pick a Test - if there is something you particularly want to try, be it a riding club test, novice etc you can enter our Pick a Test class, just list the test you want to do in the comments

Entries are available through EC Pro:
https://westacre-stables.ecpro.co.uk/events/9847

Sadly we are continuing to keep these competitions in house only and will not be accepting external entries. We thank you for your understanding
