School Holidays
Definitely a favourite, our School Holiday programs create a FUN and safe environment where riders of all levels can enjoy the freedom of our horsey heaven.
Our aim is to set a foundation of correct horse riding and horse management skills with game-based learning activities to make the experience engaging and memorable. Riders will get hands-on practice in effective riding and horsemanship, ensuring safety and cultivating confidence.
Our holiday programs conclude with an exciting Ribbon Day on Friday 24th December, where the riders can showcase their achievements. Book all four sessions and receive $50 off our January holiday Ribbon Day.
