Horse & Rider training

Horses taken for schooling

We offer expert schooling with excellent 24/7 care in outstanding facilities.

Short term schooling

We recommend two weeks as the normal short-term schooling option as this allows new behaviour habits to start to form. This is the minimum time period, unless exceptionally agreed in advance.

Normal daily rates are as follows:

Keep costs – covers individual paddock, hard feed, hay, general care, etc: $20
Schooling work per day: $50
Alternatively horse walker plus lunging: $30

The normal week would involve:

Five days schooling
One day walker and lunge
One day rest

One-off cost of worming on arrival: $25

All costs plus GST.

Longer-term schooling

To more deeply implant new behaviour habits, horses will benefit from longer schooling periods.

After the first two weeks normal daily schooling rates reduce as follows:

Schooling work per day: $40
Horse walker plus lunging: $20

All costs plus GST.

Lesson in place of schooling

A lesson with the horse is offered as an alternative to schooling work at a discounted rate of $60 plus GST.

Tailored plans

We are happy to construct a schooling plan specific to your horse’s needs in consultation with yourself.

Horse and rider combination training

You can come with your horse for intensive instruction. You can stay in your truck and use our facilities at no charge or we can organise a local accommodation for you.

We find an excellent system if you are pushed from time is to send your horse for one or two weeks schooling initially, then you come and join it for a final week together.

Rates are as follows:

Keep costs – covers individual paddock, hard feed, hay, general care, etc: $20
Schooling work per day: $50
Alternatively horse walker plus lunging: $30
Lessons at a discounted rate of $60

Top quality agistment when you go on holiday

Most of us don’t like the idea of getting on a very fresh horse who has not been ridden for a while, but how can this be avoided when you want to go on holiday?
