HORSE RIDING IN PERTH

Happy Herd Life

When you come horse riding you will get to meet our horse, you will then see our horses live in several different herds. 


Horses are Herbivores and when they live in the wild they choose to live in herds.  They are very social mammals and like to be with other horses for company as well as protection. You will often see our horses grooming one another, playing or just chilling together.  This is a sign of happy healthy horses. 


The herd has a strict hierarchy, with a boss and all other horses have their place in the herd. Like brothers and sisters the horses will fight occasionally but generally are happier and healthier being together.  


During the day our horses live in their day paddocks.  This makes it easy for us to catch them.  However after hours our horses are released into their night paddock, this is 200 acres of bushland where they get to run, play and be horses (and eat more hay).  


In the morning they are all waiting at the gate of the day paddock to come in for breakfast.


A safe, friendly and supportive environment to learn  


We set up Wanneroo Riding Centre to be a friendly supportive place anyone can come and spend time with these beautiful animals.  Either take lessons or enjoy a trail ride.  


We work hard to ensure our horses are happy and healthy and well looked after, and that you get to have an enjoyable, safe experience with our horses.


Maintaining the feel of the ranch!


Wanneroo Riding Centre used to be Ron's Ranch which has been around for over 30 years and many people remember hanging out as a kid here.  Even though we have made a number of changes we have tried to maintain the natural feel of the place.  Where possible we use organic material to build paddocks from and keep the place as close as possible to how nature intended.
