Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp
Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp
Join the KLF Team and KLF Approved Trainers for four days of entertainment, education, and all things Kaimanawa. The Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp will be held from 16th to the 19th January, 2025 at the National Equestrian Centre in Taupo.
All lessons are divided into small groups, subject to each rider’s level and preferred discipline, ensuring that everyone is able to feel confident and progress in a safe, friendly, yet challenging environment. From riders learning to canter, to those competing at top level, our instructors can offer insightful and relevant tuition.
The Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp is the perfect opportunity to try new things and it is a pleasure to watch the confidence of both horses and riders develop. In between lessons, you won’t be bored. The days are full of learning opportunities with a combination of clinics, demonstrations and team building games.
In the evenings we indulge in good food, educational talks, and world class equine entertainment. Those attending the Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp get a FREE entry to the Kaimanawa Legacy Freestyle Night Show, valued at $20 person.
The KLF Team and KLF Approved Trainers aren’t just your hosts and instructors during the Kaimanawa Legacy Kamp – they will be in the middle of the fun, making life long memories alongside everyone else!
