Residential Camps

Yarrada Farm provides residential horse camps during school holidays for all ages, from 7 years
and upwards.

The week begins on a Sunday and finishes on a Friday afternoon. Parents and friends are encouraged to come and watch the Friday afternoon lesson. 

One of the most important aspects of learning is being able to practice what you have been taught. On a residential camp the students have two ridden lessons a day. Riding everyday helps students to learn and develop their skills a lot quicker than a lesson once a week.

Students are taught and experience the discipline of horse management ie; grooming, cleaning, feeding, watering and generally looking after a horse. Residential camps are great for those that want to experience what its like to own your own horse or pony. And it’s great for meeting new friends in a relaxed and fun environment.

Apart from their two ridden lessons a day students also participate in other activities such as bareback games, cushion polo and Prince Phillip Games.

We also have unmounted lessons during camp where we teach students parts of pony, saddlery and caring for these and basic horsemanship skills.

Yarrada Farm has the facilities for accommodation and supervision of up to 16 students at a time.

Other non-horses related activities are:
Spotlight, Skit Night, Quiz Night and
The Local Shop run

Students are taken the local shop to fill their boots on lollies.
The Maximum spend is $10.
