Moby Molgat (9), of Wakatipu, teamed up with pony Sparrow and Annabella Bruce, of Wanaka, for the occasion.
They took part in the lead rein section, designed to give first-year riders the skills and confidence to ride on their own.
The two-day camp, supported by coaches from around the country, was attended by 60 riders, some as young as 4.
