Riding 'boot camps' - without your own horse? Worldwide

[JustMe22]

Hi everyone,

My Google research is failing me here. I'm writing an article and want to find out where people could go for say, a week, and have intensive lessons and riding training on horses that the facility owns? I am almost sure I've heard of some places in Portugal, The Netherlands and probably even the USA where this is an option but can't seem to find anything definitive.

Does anyone know of these sorts of places? Any of the three Olympic disciplines would be fine, though I imagine it's more common for dressage and SJ than eventing.

Hi what about these holidays: https://www.horsexplore.com/dressage

Equestrian Escapes run such holidays, in the UK and in Spain or Portugal.

Have a look on In The Saddle too (or even give them a call) - they have them in Spain, Portugal, Ireland and maybe some other places.

I did a pre Hunt holiday in Galway Ireland a good selection of horses mainly cross country jumping with pole work in their arena in the mornings.
Also hacking out through the forest it is a holiday so the odd easy day was fine with me .
