Horse Riding Program — Build Confidence One Stride at a Time
Term group lessons and school holiday sessions led by a qualified instructor — all levels welcome
Horse riding is more than just learning to ride
The ABL Horse Riding Program is a structured group experience led by a qualified instructor, designed to build confidence, patience, and responsibility in young people of all levels. Whether your child has never been near a horse or has some experience already, they’ll be welcomed, supported, and challenged in exactly the right way. The bond that forms between a young person and a horse is something truly special — and the confidence it builds goes far beyond the riding arena.
Holiday sessions: One-off sessions during school holidays — check the calendar for dates
Instructor: Qualified horse riding instructor
Level: All levels welcome — no prior experience needed
