Balanced riding for all ages & Abilities

One of the things we often hear from our guests is a desire to learn more about our style of balanced riding. By combining Human & Horse Biomechanics, Centered Riding and Good horsemanship, our riding lessons will not only give you the confidence to have fun in the saddle but will teach you how to be an effective and ethical rider regardless of your chosen discipline.Whether you’re a new rider, returning to riding, or looking to renew your confidence in the saddle; our riding lessons will help you be the best rider you can be for your horse.

A fun and engaging way to learn how to communicate with your horse. Our Cowboy challenge obstacle course has a number of challenges designed to build your confidence in the saddle and help you become an effective rider. Obstacle course also has a number of difficulties making it suitable to challenge even experienced horsefolk.

We believe that there’s no better arena to learn how to ride than the golden mirrored sands of Paton’s Rock Beach. This experience starts at our farmhouse and follows our hack track down to the beach where we’ll split off from the ride for a one on one riding lesson.

The perfect introduction to centered riding, an arena riding lesson will help you find confidence in the saddle as you learn how to work with your horse to achieve balanced riding.
