About
Our Australian Stock horses and our wonderful "Pink Ladies are kind, patient and helpful.
Our Pony Camp is for children from 6 - 12 years old and any experience level as we have a selection of horses and ponies to pair them up with.
We run a range of different activities during the day including Horsemanship, Polocrosse, Jumping, with a little gymkhana and trail ride around the Jarrahdale Hills too! No food is provided , please bring your own lunch and a morning tea to share. Parents are welcome to arrive at 1.00pm to watch the Gymkhana and join in on the laughs.
Horses are Good for the Soul so we love to help people to build self confidence, face their fears and do it anyway and learn to safely ride a horse and above all have a bunch of FUN.
Based on a range of factors, our instructors will assign one of our lovely horses or ponies to each child at the start of the day.
