Allow your child to get in to the School Holiday spirit by attending Woodlands School Holiday Program! This is a great opportunity for your child to participate in 3 hours of enjoyment, where they will learn all about horses and riding in a safe environment! Suitable for children from ages 7 to 18 years. Your child will receive guided coaching and support, whilst they grow their confidence around horses, develop their horsemanship, riding skills and participate in a trail ride!

The day will start with grooming and tacking up their horses/ponies, a riding lesson, followed by a quick snack break. Then finish off with a trail ride and if there's time, untack their own horses/ponies and give them a feed/drink too! The program may be altered to suit the weather.

The program is suitable for beginners through to intermediate level competency. Attendees are matched in to groups relevant to age and experience level.
