📌 WELCOME TO ACE Adult Horse Camp – Everything You Need to Know
At ACE Adult Horse Camp, we offer structured, supportive, high-quality training in a friendly, relaxed, non-competitive environment — designed specifically for adult riders.
From the moment you arrive at camp, you’ll receive a warm welcome and be supported throughout your stay. Our riders are incredibly friendly, and you’ll have plenty of time to relax, learn, and form lasting friendships alongside your horse.
🐴 Expert Coaching in Outstanding Facilities
All flatwork and show jumping lessons take place at the exceptional arenas at Somerford Park — well known for their superb surfaces and outstanding facilities.
Flatwork lessons are either private individual (30 mins) or max 2 riders per hour, with sessions tailored specifically to you and your horse.
Showjumping sessions are organised in small groups of up to 3 horses, allowing for focused training while still benefiting from a supportive group dynamic.
Cross-country training is held on the impressive 80 acres or the newly refurbished grassroots training field at Somerford Park. XC groups have a maximum of 4 riders per session to ensure safety, quality coaching and a positive learning experience. The specific XC location will always be confirmed prior to camp.
We usually ride twice a day — morning and afternoon — giving you a full and rewarding training experience.
Before camp, we gather detailed information during booking so riders are carefully grouped according to ability and goals. Where possible, we create a tailored programme to suit your interests and capabilities.
A professional photographer is in attendance — no need to pre-book — capturing memorable moments and action shots throughout camp 📸
🐎 Bringing Your Horse
Riders bring their own horses, and some choose to bring more than one. Stabling can be arranged for multiple horses per rider — please discuss this with ACE Adult Horse Camp when booking.
Throughout camp, trainers monitor both horse and rider fitness to ensure neither oversteps the mark. Safety is always paramount.
🦺 Safety First – Always
Your enjoyment depends on feeling safe and supported.
Suitable protective clothing and hats must be worn when riding.
Riders are discouraged from taking unnecessary risks.
If you feel unsure, you are encouraged not to continue.
Coaches will always prioritise safety and confidence-building.
We create an environment where you can challenge yourself appropriately — without pressure.
🤝 A Relaxed, Friendly Atmosphere
Our camps are entirely non-competitive, allowing riders to focus on development, enjoyment and confidence.
We welcome around 52 riders at each camp, with many travelling from further afield to join us — creating a fantastic, sociable and supportive group.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a relaxed vibe, and you can choose optional services to personalise your experience and make your camp the best it can be.
ACE Adult Horse Camp is ideal for:
• Riders looking to improve

🍽 Residential Camps & Camp Life
At residential camps, we begin with a group welcome to explain facilities and activities.
All meals for attendees are arranged with outside caterers, so you can concentrate on settling your horse and enjoying the experience — no cooking required.
Alongside riding, there are interesting talks and demonstrations, with full camp details sent to you shortly before the event.
💫 Be Ready for a Brilliant, Busy Experience
You’ll be kept active, motivated and inspired — while still having plenty of time to relax, socialise and enjoy the atmosphere.
ACE Adult Horse Camp is about quality training, confidence building, friendship, and making wonderful memories with your horse.
We can’t wait to welcome you 🐴
