Courses for Horses effective 1st Jan 2007
Designed specifically for the riding enthusiast
|
Horse riding is a great pastime and a great way to make friends. Here in the Megalong Valley, you can enjoy the horses and learn new skills on the best horse riding trails found in Australia! So come and learn all about horses and enhance your riding skills at the same time. After your lesson, take a scenic ride through to an area of wilderness with an experienced guide who will coach you on improving your riding skills in real time environment.
We specialize in general introduction to horsemanship for all ages.
We believe that in taking basic steps in horsemanship is an important part of making a competent horseperson of the future.
While we can take the riders up to show ring etiquette, dressage skills or show jumping events, initially we concentrate on the rider's confidence around horses, both on the ground and in the saddle.
Most importantly, getting together and having fun with other folks interested in horses - just like you are! Making friends, socializing and enjoying the outdoors.
