The camp includes stabling for your horse from Friday lunchtime to Sunday. There is a shavings bed provided. You will need to provide your own hay and hard feed as well as buckets and nets and mucking out equipment.

You will be expected to bring your own cutlery, plates, and glass/mug and there will be a rota for everyone to help out in the kitchen at some point.
