MEON RESIDENTIAL HOLIDAY AT WELLINGTON at Wellington Riding, Hook

MEON RIDING CLUB RESIDENTIAL HOLIDAY AT WELLINGTON TUESDAY 18 – FRIDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 2018

This will be our NINTHholiday.  We go in at midday on Tuesday and finish around 4pm on Friday. The cost  last year was £395 and we are waiting to hear 2018 price but doubt it will be much different andis amazing value Up to about 8 horses will be stabled  in Wellington stables but for more than that they will put in temporary stabling for us  Your payment covers for your horse: stable, bedding and hay or haylage.  Beds are shavings, no straw and you get enough shavings for a decent bed but if you need more it is £9.60 per bale .  For you: very basic but adequate accommodation on bunk beds in a portacabin.  Glamorous it is not but great fun it is!  You also get breakfast, lunch and supper    One night we take ourselves off to supper at an excellent local pub.  We are good at enjoying ourselves perhaps with a spot or two of wine in our cabin and generally we have a brilliant time  The facilities at Wellington are excellent.  We use 5 arenas  all on surfaces, 3 outside and 2 inside plus a new last year  huge outdoor arena so all flatwork and showjumping on  these  You can choose what you do, perhaps concentrate more on sj or dressage or whatever  there should be plenty of scope for cross country  too assuming ground conditions are ok  They have some of the best facilities you will find anywhere plus it is a fabulous place to be with your horse  If you prefer to ride one of their good horses, the cost is £60 all the time or £25 per  day.  Similarly if you cannot manage the whole holiday and just want some days the cost is £150 per day.  We get first rate tuition from their top instructors.  Sometimes our group has been up to 12  as in 2017although last one year just 4 went – but however many it always works and is an amazing experience so come and join us  This year we HAVE TO HAVE COMPLETED FORMS AND DEPOSITS (£100) BY 1 JULY so they know whether we will need temporary stables or not.  If you do no know anyone else who is going we can promise you a very friendly few days so email me and I will send you a booking form COME ON YOU WILL LOVE IT
