Group Lessons

If your child adores riding and pony care then group lessons are for you.

Over the course of the term your child will learn how to get their pony in safely from the paddock, groom, and saddle up before their lesson.

Riders will be placed in a group of children of the same level of experience for optimal learning, where dressage, jumping and games will be taught throughout the term.

  • $60.00 per lesson

  • Duration 60 mins

    Lessons are on Weekdays and Saturdays
