Eventing Camp at Otis Eventing in France

This camp is designed for event riders who want to enhance their riding skills and learn about eventing in Europe.  Each day will be broken up into three parts: the riding portion, the afternoon activity, and the evening tuition.  Our aim is to give international students the opportunity to see how an international eventing yard is run in France.

Rider Breakthroughs & Success Stories

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing our students return to the competition circuit with renewed confidence. Read what international riders have to say about their immersion in our professional French yard.

“As a young rider wanting to gain more knowledge and experience, I took away so much information and tools after one week! Logan and Paul took the time in every lesson to explain and teach new exercises and techniques to improve my riding and fee.  The hospitality was amazing and everyone was so welcoming.  While it was serious in the ring, there are so many places to explore and fun activities around in such a beautiful area. “
