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.

• First stage is the handling of the horse, getting to know his behavior, how to put the tack on him, how to feed him.

• Second  stage of our  programme is lessons in the arena, the group is  divided  depending on riding ability.

• Third stage is getting out and putting the knowledge into practice. We place the emphasis on learning how to ride in a fun environment.

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.
