Horse riding weekend at Calvert Exmoor
This weekend is dedicated to those who love horses and life in the stables. If you, or someone in your family are horsey-mad, take this opportunity to spend two whole days with the Equestrian team for riding lessons, hacks, looking after the animals, and lots of fun.

Riding tuition, which could involve a hack to Wistlandpound Reservoir depending on the weather
Horse-based games and riding challenges to increase confidence
