Adults Only Camp
**Equestrian Experiences Weekend**
Bungendore Riding Club is excited to bring 2 days of fun and learning skills in new and exciting disciplines plus some of the old favourites on 22 and 23 November 2025!
Whether you're looking to build confidence, refine your skills, or prepare for competition, this camp is the perfect opportunity to train Dressage, Show Jumping, Cross-Country as well as try a few obstacles and games.
It is also a fantastic way for members to experience a different equestrian activity which they may never have thought of attempting.
Lessons will be run in small groups of approximately 4-6 riders, ensuring personalised coaching and expert guidance.
There will be time between lessons for you to change gear and if you want to bring 2 horses you may. (No extra charge)

CODE OF CONDUCT, SAFETY and INSURANCE
Please ensure that your gear/equipment/horse/pony is in good safe working order.
If you are riding, you will be required to wear a tagged riding helmet approved by EA (Equestrian Australia) and appropriate clothing and footwear.
BRC is an EA affiliated club and, as such, is covered by Public Liability Insurance.

You should consider if holding your own personal accident or loss of income insurance is right for you if you are not also an EA member.
