School Holidays

Definitely a favourite, our School Holiday programs create a FUN and safe environment where our riders can enjoy the freedom of our horsey heaven. Practicing effective riding and horsemanship ensures safety and cultivates confidence. 

Our holiday programs conclude with a Ribbon Day, where the riders can showcase their achievements. So please join us and practice and learn in a safe, fun environment.

Beginners and Young Riders

PONY PALS focus is to start our riders correctly, using game-based horse-riding activities that encourage correct riding and skills.

These ½ days are a fun way to introduce your child to horse riding and pony care. Come for one 1/2 day or all 3 afternoons. Each 1/2 day brings new fun, learning and adventure.

Activities include; take care of a pony, learning correct riding skills, games, farm riding, all with fun and friendship in a safe environment. Complete beginners are mentored by our Pony Club Riders.
