School

to show your children there is an alternative in life to TV, video games
and computers. Our programs give your children plenty of hands on contact
with their horses enabling them to consolidate their understanding of
horses and riding ability in a fun filled socially interactive way. Each child is

Kids'
Saturday Riding Clubs
Besides
our School Holiday Programme we also hold Saturday riding clubs for the
youngsters at three levels, beginner, medium and more experienced riders. The
aim of these Clubs is to encourage the children to partake in many activities
and learn interaction skills with others. Besides honing the riders skills
with tuition aimed at increasing the riders particular skill levels, having
fun and getting enjoyment from their riding is part of our philosophy. Taking
part in riding games is just one way of achieving this, but just as important
is also learning about riding life outside the equestrian arena, by enjoying
trail rides on our 3,500 acres of properties with many different types of
terrain that require different riding skills.

Corporate Days
Riding is a great group activity especially when it's rounded off with some
canoeing and an Aussie barbecue under the gum trees. All sorts of contests
and challenges can be added to the day. A number of our customer companies
have voted their riding activity days as their "best outings
ever".
