Description

Enjoy a country experience on horseback just 10 minutes from Parliament House.

Great for you, a group of friends or interstate and overseas visitors.

For the casual rider we offer a range of fully escorted quiet country rides. Designed for people with little or no experience with horses. Trail rides are usually hourly. Two hourly, half day and full day rides are also available. Catering can be arranged for groups for a picnic/barbeque at the Centre or at one of the beautiful riverbank sites nearby.

School and Community Groups Special packages are available. These range from trail rides to introductory horsemanship and riding programs. Some schools include horse riding as a regular term program whilst others take advantage of our end of term packages. We often provide excursion programs for out of area groups. The program can include transport in our airconditioned bus fitted with seat belts.

Holiday Programs: the Centre runs a program of weekly day camps. The regular program caters for riders of different levels in streamed groups of no more than 8 persons.

The Centre also runs a program for advanced riders and vaulters. Camps run for 4 days and consist of 2 riding lessons/periods each day plus a theory or training session covering horsemanship and riding skills. Riders learn to be responsible for the care of their horse and gear.

Beginner riders need to be at group stage to be accepted for camp. Call the Centre for the dates and if you have any questions on being accepted into camp.

After School Riding Programs: The Centre’s after school program has been expanded and redesigned to provide better rider programs and more options. We have redesigned the program to provide more support to working parents. Our popular pick up bus will continue to service schools in the Woden/Weston Creek areas. But in addition will pick up riders for after school programs at the Woden (Platform 18) and Weston Creek (outside Laksa House) Terminuses. Lessons run at 4:00 and 5:00 with two graded lessons to ensure riders are gaining maximum benefit from each lesson. Riders can be picked up at the Centre after their lessons at parents convenience up to 6pm.
