Enjoy our indoor arena!
We are the only riding school in North Perth to have a beautiful indoor arena, meaning riding really is an all weather sport. We run lessons on a Wednesday and Thursday, morning and evening and a Saturday and Sunday Morning.
We mainly offer private 1 on 1 riding lessons, as we feel this allows us to provide a more tailored approach to our clients’ and allows us to help riders progress quicker. However we do offer a few group sessions for beginners, to help learn the basic skills and give people the opportunity t try riding without any longer term commitments
All lessons are 30 min long, as in our experience, when riding correctly (using your body and carrying yourself well) most people are getting tied and are less effective by the end of their lesson.
Private lessons start from 5 years and over and follow a complete and rigorous plan to ensure you build up from a solid foundation to progress your skills in a safe and positive way within a supportive and friendly environment.
We supply helmets, you just need to ensure that you wear long pants and enclosed shoes and discover the joy and health benefits that horse riding can provide.

How we Categories our horses
We try to be open and transparent so students can understand their their progress. We believe in students riding different horses, to ensure they are able to transfer the skills they are learning.
Not all horses are equal, some horses are great at plodding around, perfect for beginners learning the basics,others are more responsive and require students to give clear, concise instructions.
As students develop and progress they will be moved onto more difficult horses. It may at first look like they are taking a step back, but we can assure they are progressing onto the next stage of their riding.
How we allocate and categories our horses
Our horses are categorized into a number of different groups. Students may find when they progress from one category to the next, that they need to go back to fine tune some of the basics as the more advanced horses require more precision & finesse.
Sometimes parents worry that their child has taken a step back, we can assure you that this is not the case, they are simply progressing in their riding to the point they can ride a number of different horses.
Level 1 - Beginner horse – These are very safe, calm and reliable horses that are not too reactive and allow students to build confidence and fine tune their skills. They are very tolerant and not reactive.
Level 2 - Intermediate horse – These horse require riders to be able to ride independently, give clear aids and direction. They will not just walk or trot around without the rider demonstrating proper riding skills.
Level 3 - Experienced horse – require riders to be able to ride with an independent seat and selfcarriage. These horses require clear, calm and quiet aids and can respond to riders that are off balance and heavy handed. If you have any concerns with the progression of your riding, please don’t hesitate to speak to the office and our head coach can contact you to discuss. There may be 1 area holding you back and we can recommend some exercises you can practice at home to help you master this skill.
Your safety is of upmost importance to us. Horse riding can be a dangerous spots, therefor we try to ensure that you develop your skills correctly.
