Private Lessons
We offer private (one on one) lessons during school term for 8+ years. Lessons are suitable for complete beginners and up - our focus is confidence, kindness, safety and fun!
We work towards correct posture in the saddle, and balance with an independent seat and hands. Upwards and downwards transitions (halt, walk, trot), turning and obstacles.
We work at the pace of both horse and rider. Pressure and release techniques and clicker training (treats) are taught when appropriate.
Lesson time includes safety checks, ground-work, grooming/tacking up horses.
Parents are welcome to stay and watch, take photos, get involved with grooming and cheer on the sidelines!
Prices are per person:
$75/30min - lead rein ride
$95/1hr - private lesson (casual)
$640/Term - 8 x 1hr lessons

Holiday Fun
‘Own your own pony’ is a unique programme run during the School Holidays. It differs to our private lessons, as it is a day solely focused on learning about owning a pony; from grooming to saddling, riding, feeding and barn chores.
‘Own your own pony’ is for children aged 8+ years who one day dream of owning their own pony. Each child is assigned their own horse or pony for the day. They are in charge of all aspects of care and riding with help from an instructor.
Prices are per person:
$175 - 3hr/group of two
$225 - 3hr/private

Prices are per child:
$125 - 9am-3pm/groups of 8
