The Farm
We believe in working with the horses from the ground up. We teach and school with this in mind and build connections between the horse and rider. We are situated on 13 hectares of primarily flat paddocks surrounded by some of New Zealand’s most beautiful farm and bushlands situated at the base of both the Karangahake and Kaimai ranges. Our property backs onto the Waitawheta river where our riders can enjoy a swim after lessons. We are also only a mere 15 minute drive to the beach.
Our method
A holistic approach covering the physical and emotional aspects of horse riding teaching children empathy, discipline and compassion. Children are taught the A to Z of horses so that when they finish and wish to own their own horse/pony they have the skills and knowledge to do so. We encourage riders to find their passion for whatever discipline of riding they choose, however, we do focus on a dressage based training approach as we believe it is a great foundation to horse riding.
