Southern Pines Adult Camp - (910) 245-7330

Dates for 2012 Southern Pines Adult Camp are March 4-9!

Come to Southern Pines in March for six fun-filled, early Spring days; just you and your horse! Daily lessons will include: Dressage, Gymnastics/Show Jumping and Cross Country (schooling courses). Dressage lessons are private and jumping is in pairs to be held at several different training facilities in the neighborhood.

Everything will be provided for you and your horse (except his hay and grain). Housing will be at the Days Inn which is a ten minute drive from stabling. All meals are included starting with a lumber-jack breakfast at the hotel and followed by lunch and dinners catered by Sweet Feed at the Dreher’s. (Sorry, but you are guaranteed to put on a couple of pounds!)

Free afternoons will include seminars and professional services on saddle fitting, x-c tack, equine dentistry, eventing Rules & Regs and grooming techniques. Other activities available are pottery shopping in Seagrove (over 90 local potters), golf til’ you drop at 60 local courses or a fun day trip to historic Wilmington, NC or Charleston, SC.

Room rates are based on two person occupancy in double bedrooms. Private single rooms are available at an extra charge and limited B&B rooms at a few of the barns are also available. Special requests for private rooms and B&B’s must be indicated on the entry form. ALL ROOMS AND BARNS ARE NON SMOKING!

Plan to arrive on Saturday March 3rd in order to settle your horse in and learn your way around the neighborhood. There will be a dinner and orientation meeting on Saturday evening at the Dreher’s. Departure is scheduled for Saturday March 10th unless you indicate a later date.

This year lessons will commence on Sunday March 4th and conclude Friday March 9th. There will be three days of single lessons and three double lesson days. Both you and your horse need to be fit for that schedule.

The Southern Pines Horse Trials will be held March 10th and 11th at the Carolina Horse Park (40 mins drive) with Preliminary, Training, Novice and Beginner Novice levels. In addition, a versatility competition will be held Saturday March 10th. Adult Camp is an excellent way to prepare for your first event of the season.

No matter what package you put together, we guarantee that you will have a grand time and learn a lot about combined training. This camp is designed to introduce the newcomer to the sport as well as to improve your present level or help you move up to the next level. We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us, and perhaps bring a friend (or a golfing spouse) for a great week of horsing around in horse heaven!
