Horsemanship
There is so much more to horses than just riding! Horses require quite a bit of care and management and everything you do to care for your horse is horsemanship.
Horsemanship is a basic skill that every good rider should know, and good horsemanship is an asset to the rider and the horse. It is important that every rider know the basic riding position and have skills in handling their horse. Horsemanship includes skills like the rider’s appearance and position in the saddle and their ability to control their horse.
We educate our riders about the general care of their horse and tips on forming an unbreakable bond between horse and rider. Our facilities provides a safe and encouraging environment in the Great Australian Outdoors where riders of all ages and abilities come together to enjoy their love of horses.
Horse Husbandry
Owning a horse is a big responsibility and a long-term commitment, in terms of care, hard work and finances but immensely rewarding. There are a lot of things you need to think about in order to care for your horse properly.
Some basic horse husbandry points include:
-
- Food and Water
- Health and Welfare
- Shelter and Environment
If you’ve always wanted a horse, it’s important to understand both the financial and time commitment required for horse ownership.
Horses in their natural state are grazing animals requiring sufficient space to roam. They nibble on grass throughout the day, requiring a steady stream of fodder and water. How to care for a horse means learning not just how to groom your horse, but also how to care for all of his basic needs.
We educate our riders on the skills and commitment required to achieve the best possible outcome for you, the rider, and your horse.
Learning to Ride
Riding, as many find out quickly, is a lot harder and less glamorous than it looks from the outside looking in.
Our trainers, with decades of combined experience as stockmen and keen competitors will guide and provide you with the skills required to become a safe and competent rider, ready to embrace your journey with your new best friend…. your horse

New tricks for an old dog
I never thought anyone would teach this old dog a new trick. I was wrong. Recently I went on a pleasure ride with Andrew and a couple of others at Nelson Park. We had a lovely day, the horses, and a few of us enjoyed the water as well, some not by choice. As we were riding along the coast, Andrew had noticed how I was holding my reigns and suggested I try both different weighted reigns and to hold them differently as well. I was surprised what a difference it made. Thanks mate, you certainly helped this old fella out.

Greatest Morning in a long time
I thought my session went very well. I thought the horse chosen for me was very good as he was willing and able to do what I asked of him. There was no pressure placed on me to do anything. I just took things in my time. If i didn’t want to ride I didn’t have to.

Amazing Difference
I can happily recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for some assistance for their kids when it comes to riding a horse well. I had my three children (aged 9 to 14) spend a couple of hours a day for the first week of school holidays over Easter with Andrew and was amazed at the difference in their riding capability at the end of the week. They went from three kids just plodding around the paddock to working with the mechanical cow, trotting around very confidently, and my eldest boy even cantering around the arena looking very confident. Thank you Andrew, what a fabulous activity for the kids. Beats Xbox any day.

What a great day
Thanks mate, I had a great day today. Was nice to get out and just go for a leisurely ride through the bush with some really nice people. Hope to do it again soon, will be keeping an eye out for the next one.

Horse riding is a relaxing and enjoyable pastime, although as those of us who know, it can be a very expensive past time as well. You should think very carefully before embarking on a journey to own your own horse. Our horse husbandry sessions are a fantastic way to acquaint yourself with the responsibilities and associated costs of owning a horse.
At Abbwell Equine Services, we offer you the opportunity to “try before you buy” utilising one of the beautiful horses available on site before embarking on your own horse ownership journey.
Safety is a very important part of owning / riding a horse. Before any sessions are commenced, we will complete a thorough safety review and ensure not only your safety, but also your total enjoyment of the experience
Finally, before choosing how you would like to start your horse riding journey with us, we ask all clients to complete the “Introduction to Horse Riding and Horse Husbandry” session. This allows us to assess your current rising skills and tailor your sessions to you.
