Starting in the July School Holidays 2008, we will be running holiday riding programs.
Available for children between 8 and 12 years and 13 to 16 years from fist timers to experienced riders.

Each day consists of a lesson with children split into groups appropriate to their ability (beginners are lead) followed by a group game plus another hour on horseback in the afternoon (weather permitting) including gymkhana games, lunging, vaulting, pony care, jumping course, treks and much more!

The children will be assisted with grooming, saddling, feeding and watering their designated mounts as required.

Theory sessions on parts of the horse, colours and markings, parts of the saddle and bridle, breeds of horses and ponies etc are all part of out program.

A fun way to learn and/or improve on riding skills, working with and caring for horses. The program will run from Monday to Friday for 2 weeks (wet or fine) and children can attend from one day to all 10days! 9.00am to 3.30pm daily earlier drop off and later pick ups can be arranged if required! Bookings are essential and payment must be made one week in advance to confirm places as the program has been so successful the children just keep coming back!

The program is run by 2 qualified instructors (plus volunteer helpers and some of the trekking staff) and includes a huge variety of games both on and off the ponies and horses. Summer programs also include riding down to the river and going for a swim which the kids really love.  We would love to encourage your child to love, respect and enjoy horses whilst building their own self confidence and experience.
