ABOUT THE PARELLI UK SAVVY CAMP
Be the horseman your horse needs you to be! Strengthen your relationship with your horse at the UK's first ever Savvy Camp. This 3 day camp is taught by some of UK's top Parelli instructors. David Zuend, Alison Zuend & Rachael Shawyer, maybe more! The Parelli Savvy Camp is designed for students at all levels, with or without a horse, who want to ensure they have a solid foundation, who have the desire to take the next steps in their horsemanship journey.Over this highly educational, inspiring and fun long weekend, students will participate in demonstrations, theory sessions and workshops, designed to grow their horsemanship knowledge and skills. And of course there is plenty of time with your horses, both on the ground and in the saddle, to help students increase their savvy.
In fact you will get to choose how much learning time you do with your horse or without. One month prior to the camp, we will send all riders a list of the different sessions, going on simultaneously, you will then be able to pre select your choices, so you know which you will be doing when!
The Savvy Camp will be held at Horsemanship Hub, Willow Fields, it is lovely informal facility, which includes a Martin Collins arena, honeycomb, covered barn with round pen, large playground with obstacles and large spectator viewing marque. Tea and coffee will be available onsite, for a small charge.
There will be a movie night on the Friday night and a Camp night on the Saturday, with a BBQ.
