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

My daughter just loves it

Our her 10th birthday, our daughter out-of-the-blue said “I want to learn how to ride a horse”. For six months I silently prayed that this was a phase and it would quietly disappear as quickly as it arrived. We live in town, no place for a horse, let alone a horse float and everything else that goes with riding a horse. Well, here we are, two years down the road and guess what? We now own a horse, and a horse float, and a garage that is fast starting to fill with “horse stuff”.

We spent the first 12 months getting some advise from the lady we bought the horse from, although I felt that she just needed something more. Another person we know, who also knew Andrew suggested that we speak to him and see what he thought. So… six months later, she went from clinging to the saddle with both hands looking slightly horrified to riding very confidently over low jumps, riding amongst the cattle and having a ball. This has been an incredible exercise for her confidence and confirmed for us that we just might need a bigger garage. Oh well…

Thank you Andrew for everything you have done for B******, it is lovely to see your child sooooo happy

Life skills that set your children up for success.

Andrew, Andrew Snr and Ben are amazing with my daughter and son. My children instantly feel comfortable and trust them. The lessons they learn and they have no idea they are learning. Watching them overcome anxiety and build resilience, follow direction, confidence, compassion, empathy and respect. Just to name a few. Amazing service.
