We have a fleet of safe and reliable school horses for you to learn on, from complete beginner schoolmaster horses through to horses who can take you to that next level. Our instructors can also teach you on your own horse or pony. Horse riding teaches responsibility, leadership, independence, team work, social skills, self reliance & improves self-esteem amongst many other things. All of our qualified instructors have a strong commitment to producing students we are proud of. All new clients will participate in a private 30min assessment lesson before joint a group lesson. Group lessons are term bookings only, so that our clients can progress together and the standard is similar. Please call the office to discuss options. Term fees will be due before the commencement and are non refundable or transferable, and missed lessons cannot be credited, made up or refunded. You are welcome to book in casually, however term fees, even when missing a couple is better value. We also encourage our students, old and young, to participate in making the horses ready and taking them out before or after lessons. This time is free for our regular term booking clients, and is a valuable learning experience.
