FIRST EQUESTRIAN EXPERIENCE

We offer a gentle introduction to horses through our 4 week Introduction to Horse Management course. If you've never spent time with horses before, or feel nervous around horses, this is the perfect introduction. You'll enjoy a 40 min lesson each week covering safety, catching, tacking, grooming and communicating with the horse. 

DURATION: 40 mins

COST   $320 ($80 per lesson)

BEGINNER RIDER LESSON FOR CHILDREN OVER 11 YEARS & ADULTS

First time riders are welcome to join our 6 week Beginner Rider 1 course. There are 4 further levels of Beginner Rider to progress to, or to join, if you've had some experience. 

 

Our Beginner Rider courses cover fitness, horse management and foundation riding skills. We understand that everyone learns at a different pace, so no one is pressured to progress if they aren't ready. If you'd be more comfortable doing a level twice, or just adding a couple more weeks to it, you're very welcome to do so.
