HOWBERRY HILLS RIDING CENTRE AND STUD

Howberry Hills Riding Centre and Stud – EQUESTRIAN ESTATE, GUEST LODGE & STUD FARM

Howberry Hills Stud is a 35 ha Equestrian Estate on the World famous South African Garden Route in Wittedrift, Plettenberg Bay. Situated in the hills surrounding the Bitou river with magnificent views over the valley towards the mountains beyond and only minutes from fantastic sandy beaches. Endless activities abound in the area, from water sports, whale watching, the world’s highest Bungy to Safari experiences, horse trail riding, hiking and much, much more.

At Howberry Hills Stud we offer top class Equine livery for all levels and ages of horses and riders. Our philosophy is that our horses are given the chance to live a life as close to their natural environment as possible with the individual care and attention to each horse as paramount.

Our horse & rider training is a unique & developing concept of natural techniques combined with professional showmanship focusing on developing a strong foundation for both horse & rider in balance, weight aids, lightness of hand as well as correct understanding and use of riders seat aids & understanding the riders position & how it effects the biomechanics of the horse. Whilst doing this we develop an equal bond and friendship with our horses, thus in the end creating a horse and rider team with a sound, content mind, healthy, relaxed and supple bodies for both horse and rider who are able to tackle any challenge without any tension or resistance.

Our horses are kept in show condition however are able to live out or graze daily in large natural fields within a safe herd environment. We believe that in allowing your horse to feel as close to nature as possible with the minimal amount of stress caused by training and competition your horse in return will give you his all and trust you enough to perform at their best possible capacity. Not only that, they will give you their heart.

This unique concept will lead to our horse & rider teams reaching International Competition level. Our yard and stables are designed in that they are “sociable stables” whereby the horses are not visually isolated from each other at night or during the day. Instead, they can see, touch and smell each other and so maintain a constant herd feeling, which in turn keeps their anxiety and adrenaline levels low, or put another way, goes some way to ensuring we have calm and happy horses regardless of if they are out in the herd or resting at night.

Our grooms are gentle and kind and have a love for our horses which is shown in our horses happy and healthy minds. We take pride in the fact that our Groomsmen are all individually trained in the art of Natural Horsemanship.

At Howberry Hills Stud we feed only the best possible feeds and give the best possible care, with safety as an essential aspect. Our horses are under 24hour supervision with both owner, manager and grooms living on the farm. Our farm is a “home away from home“

We look forward to welcoming you to Howberry Hills.
