So enjoyable...
Thanks again for everything you did to make the camp so enjoyable for the girls, Liz
The opportunities at Work Experience shaped my goals and experience at school...
Hi Helen,
Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have been well. I’ve been praying that the recent bushfires haven’t affected you, and that this season has still brought some rest and joy.
As the new year begins, I’ve been reflecting on how much the opportunities you gave me last year have shaped my goals and my experience at school. I’m really grateful - and I’m excited to share that my results so far are keeping me on track for Veterinary Medicine.
Kind regards,
Matthew

The Saddle Camp is wonderful for young riders. Well done. From Debra
and in her words, "she had the best time".
My Granddaughter attended a four day camp at Saddle Camp and in her words, "she had the best time". We are most fortunate to have the dedicated people there who look after everyone so well in every way.
I fully support their endeavours to have a roof built over their Arena, it will make a great difference, especially in our Climate. From Margaret

Genuinely such amazing experience! Whether you're staying in the "Tiny House" farm stay or sleeping over in the clubhouse for the horsie adventures, The Saddle Camp is such a unique place. It's homey and welcoming with endless things to do. PERFECT place to take horse crazy kids to stay or just looking for a relaxing, quiet retreat for couples, friends, family and more. The business owner, Helen Faulkner, is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet. 110% recommend! The girls that meet and stay for the overnight camps become lifelong friends and learn so so much about horses and farm life.

We love the saddle camp!
We love the saddle camp. Such a welcoming warm place to spend some time.
Helen is amazing with the kids and lovely with the horses. She has such great passion that infuses everything she does and it's really inspiring - not only for the kids but has been for the adults of our family as well.
The location is delightful, and having Bombay swimming area nearby that they can visit on horses is really special.
My son has been involved in saddle camp for some years and we hope we continue to be for years to come. It has become valued as aspect of our lives

If you have a daughter who’s just a little bit horsey you’d do well to put Helen in her and your life.

What an absolute treasure to find Helen and enjoy the beautiful place she has created on her property. Not just a place to stay in a tiny home, but a place to experience coffee and treats on the covered porch overlooking the arena. A place where the kids keep running up to you to say ‘we met the goats’, ‘we fed the horses’, ‘can we ho to the swim hole’ and the best ever from a child: ‘when can we come back?’
And even better question as an adult: ‘where are the kids?’ And the answer is that they are not on their phones but off exploring.
A simple overnight here with horse riding the next day for my nine year old niece turned into a future of overnight camps and a her first job helping others.
If you have a daughter who’s just a little bit horsey you’d do well to put Helen in her and your life.
She is an inspiration. Gentle, firm and kind.
I feel very fortunate that we found her family farm and get to share in its journey. Thank you Helen.
