You’re in the right place! Choose a date/time for your 30 minute 1:1 lesson here.

Boots and helmets are available for free loan SHORT TERM ONLY. Please note we only have a small selection of boots and helmet sizes which may not suit everyone. After a few lessons if you are continuing to ride you are expected to purchase your own. 

Boots must have a flat sole and small heel – NO SNEAKERS

Helmets must be Australian Safety Standards 3838 and less than 5 years old

Riders must wear long comfortable pants, leggings or jodphurs, and tops/tshirts with sleeves (no mid-drifts showing or singlets), no jewellery (apart from sensible earrings) and hair tied back. 

Yes, we only have ponies and horses up to 15hh and therefore can only cater to a maximum weight of 85kg. Please do not be offended when asked for weight and height during the booking process, this is for the horses capabilities only. 

Arriving late to your lesson does not mean your riding time will be extended. You need to arrive ideally 10 minutes before and be ready to ride at your lesson time. 

Public holidays ARE included in your term bookings and lessons will run on these days unless otherwise advised. 

We do not offer make up lessons for missed lessons. Arrangements can be made at the start of a new term, but cancellations are not reimbursed or rescheduled. 

To secure your spot, you need to arrange payment for your lesson(s) upfront at the time of booking.
