Holiday Program - 8 to 18 years - Trail Riding Program


  • Zia Park 8410 Stoneville Road Gidgegannup, WA, 6083 Australia (map)

Session times are 0800 to 1 PM daily. The program is suitable for novice (able to ride independently in rising trot, learning to canter) to experienced riders. Over the two days, we will cover safety on the trail, saddlery and equipment, etiquette, looking ahead and reading horses' body language. We will learn how to respond to the unexpected and how to care for our horses before, during and after the ride. During our arena work sessions in this program, riders will learn how to step over and around obstacles, ride in single file and in pairs and practice mounting and dismounting from both sides and without mounting blocks. Depending on the riders' skill and confidence, we will go on rides around Zia Park, to Blue Wren Reserve and around the Susannah lakes.
