Bootcamp

90 Minutes- Winter focus is BALANCE

Join these weekly intensive trainings lasting 90 minutes. MRC Bootcamp is specifically designed to help prepare riders for riding in open space. These classes can evaluate and prepare you for hacks, hunter paces and foxhunting. You will be riding with other MRC equestrians, building fitness and friendship for future outings. Each month there will be a specific focus topic for riders with education we will share out of the saddle as well. Classes will rotate from the outdoor ring, indoor arena and the cross country field with hacks around the property.

We offer (3) Bootcamp Levels, Level 2/3 Flat, Level 3 and Level 4. If it is your first time joining MRC, you must be approved prior to joining a Level 4 Bootcamp, this can be done by joining Level 3. If you are a current rider and have been approved to join previous Level 4 experiences you are welcome to book Level 4.

Level 2/3 Flat classes will not include jumping but Level 3 and 4 classes will.
