Individually Tailored Activities
On Thursday we offer a range of different rides by appointment to suit those clients who may have access to the NDIS or groups who may like carry out team bonding or an activity day.
With scenic bush walks, rustic bbq area and relaxing atmosphere it is a great place to unwind from the day to day busy lives which we work in.
For those riders who have access to NDIS schemes, We can invoice your plan managers directly or provide invoices for you to be reimbursed. Thursdays are available year round during term times to keep consistency amongst our customers who most benefit from this service.
We are not offering the same type of classes as our local Rockhampton Riding for Disabled Centre, as we do not have specialised equipment for physically challenged riders or specialised RDA instructor skills, but aim to provide riding activities for those riders who are willing and able to sit in a regular saddle, for the small group lessons we require that riders can follow basic instruction and would like to enjoy the company of like minded riders. We recommend that riders come for lessons on a regular basis to build and develop their skills, whether that is weekly or fortnightly. Although casual bookings are most welcome as well.
Lead rides
$55 / rider / 45 minutes – one hour session
This will be a 45 minute session for small groups
of up to 4 riders and their carers. We will take the riders for a lead line lesson through the bush and sometimes have activities on our large arena. At the end of the lesson there will be an opportunity for the riders to groom and have on the ground contact with the horses. This is open to riders of all ages, it can also be used as a stepping stone for building confidence and skills to join us for our
Small group rides
$75 / rider / 1 hour session
Skills we will work on as well as riding techniques will include safety on the ground, mounting and dismounting and grooming the horses. A maximum of 4 riders will be taught how to ride without the lead and each week their skills will be built on and improved, with walk, trot and cantering in the round yard, arena’s and finally on the open trail being the goal. Following instructions and communicating with the horse will be learned skills as well as interacting with our friendly staff, who work hard to keep both animals and riders feeling at ease throughout the lesson.
Tailored Rides
$POA
We have horses for a group of up to 8 riders and are happy to take out two rides after each other to accommodate larger groups. With fantastic bush walking on site, the non riders can either go for a bush walk or learn ground horsemanship skills. With plenty of
space for bbq’s this is a great space for gatherings or team building events, with overnight “glamping” options available.
Private Lessons
We also offer one on one lessons for $120 / hour
Booking is essential for all of these activities. Riders and their assistants will be required to wear enclosed shoes, long trousers for riding and covered shoulders. We provide riding hats and all other riding equipment. We do have a weight limit of 100kg for the comfort of our horses and all adult riders must be able to physically mount themselves onto the horses from a step with our assistance and guidance.
