50min Private Lesson

Learn to horse and ride with your very own private instructor! It's never too early or late to learn! Our private sessions are suitable for ages 4 years through to adult. With your own private instructor (1-to-1), we customise your session to support you in your individual development, both around horses and in the saddle. By booking into a casual lesson, this will give you flexibility to attend when convenient without the commitment of entering term structured lessons. Each session will consist of learning basic horsemanship, how to tack up your own horse, mount independently followed by a riding lesson. The session may not include a full 50 minute riding session depending on instructor and student's learning goals. Please email us if you would like to purchase a 10 session package. We also offer semi-private and group lessons for 2 or more.

THINGS TO NOTE: 

1. Wear long pants and covered shoes such as runners/sneakers or boots. Inappropriate clothing will result in forfeit of the session.

2. We can provide helmets (limited sizes available). Wearing a current Australian standard safety horse riding helmet is compulsory. If you require a customised helmet for any reason, you will need to advise Woodlands if anything can be arranged, otherwise you will have to provide this yourself. Not being able to wearing a helmet will result in forfeit of the session.

3. Arrival time is 15 minutes prior to session time for check-in to ensure all documents have been signed. Latecomers of more than 15 minutes will result in forfeit of the session. 

4. Horses and ponies are allocated based on availability, experience, height and weight. Any special requests may not be guaranteed for safety of the session.

5. Instructors will take photos and/or videos only if requested and can be downloaded via a link emailed to you automatically after each session within 48 hours.

6. No spectators will be allowed to enter the riding area. We offer pony rides for younger children and private NDIS covered equine assisted sessions if the participant requires a support worker or guardian present.
