Event Details
Train, stay and ride at a world-class equestrian venue.
Join us at the iconic Aintree Racecourse for our North West Camps in 2026, hosted within the grounds of this world-renowned venue with access to the international equestrian centre.
June Camp: 14 – 16 June 2026
August Camp: 2 – 4 August 2026
Limited to just 24 horse and rider combinations, these camps are designed to offer a high-quality, well-supported training experience in exceptional surroundings.
Across three days, you and your horse will take part in a thoughtfully structured programme of ridden and dismounted sessions, delivered by our Senior and Performance BHS Accredited Coaches and industry specialists. Training focuses on flatwork, polework and/or jumping, with coaching tailored to your level to help improve connection, confidence and harmony — without pressure.
The camp is open to all horse and rider combinations*, whether you are training or competing across the levels. Riders are carefully grouped by ability and confidence, ensuring a safe, supportive and enjoyable environment for both horse and rider. One of the highlights for many is the opportunity to enjoy a canter around Aintree’s famous all-weather gallops, a truly memorable experience that sets this camp apart.
After a full day of training, you can relax knowing your horse is well cared for, with a 24-hour on-site stable manager, excellent facilities, and the comfort of good food and accommodation within the racecourse grounds.
