🌟 Why Horse Riding is Great for Adults of All Ages 🌟

Riding isn’t just for kids — it’s a fantastic way for adults to stay active, build strength, improve balance, and enjoy time outdoors.

It’s gentle on the body, great for the mind, and the connection with a horse is something truly special 🐴💛

Whether you’re trying something new or getting back in the saddle, we offer supportive, adult-friendly lessons with kind horses and a welcoming team.

It's competition time!!

Our end of term comp will be ... drum roll please ...

Combined training

Phases: It involves a dressage test to assess the horse's training and obedience, followed by a show jumping round.
Scoring: Total penalties are calculated across both phases, by converting dressage scores into penalties and then adding any penalties incurred in the show jumping. The competitor with the lowest total penalty marks wins.

All the details and entries can be found by following the link below!

🌟 Rider Spotlight: Jamie & Snoop Dogg 🌟

We’re beaming with pride as we celebrate one of our own — Jamie! 🐴💫

Jamie began her riding journey when we were still in the city at Showgrounds Equestrian Centre, and continued to grow and flourish with us at our new home: 434 Kargotich Road, Oakford. From a young age, Jamie stood out as a dedicated, passionate rider with an incredible work ethic — and now, we’re lucky enough to have her as part of our team, teaching the next generation of riders!

This weekend marked a special milestone as she took Snoop Dogg, a 13-year-old Standardbred affectionately known as The Beachcomber, to his first ever competition! 🏅

Snoop, a retired trotter with $20,000 in winnings under his belt, came to her from Mike. Since February, she's been retraining him — Jamie is so proud of his calm and brave attitude to his first eventing start — he completed the event like a seasoned pro. 🌊🐎

We're so proud of Jamie’s journey and how far she and Snoop have come together. The future is looking bright for this pair — and we’re excited to see what’s next! 💙

25/07/2025

The big boss might be away, but the team is still charging ahead, we’re heading to Gidgegannup this weekend with some exciting new combinations!
✨ Jaime and Snoopy are making their eventing debut – we can’t wait to cheer them on in their very first comp!
🌟 Bonnie and Prince are also stepping out for the first time as a partnership 
🔥 And Rhi and Gracie are levelling up to tackle their first EVA 95

Best of luck to team!
