Riding Without Barriers

At The Outlook Riding Academy, we believe that horse riding and horsemanship skills should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities or disabilities. Through our program, you can embark on a journey of development and enrichment, both physically and emotionally.

Horse riding not only enhances balance, motor skills, and flexibility but also offers an exhilarating and enjoyable experience. Our "whole horse" approach to horsemanship ensures that participants not only learn riding skills but also develop a deep understanding of horses and their care. Moreover, horseback riding is inherently therapeutic, providing rhythmic movements that mimic the human gait, leading to improvements in flexibility, balance, and muscle strength.

Additionally, our Ground Work program offers an unmounted experience for those who may not be ready or suited for riding, or simply prefer to work with horses from the ground. This inclusive program caters to individuals of all abilities, ensuring that the benefits of interacting with horses extend far beyond the saddle. Join us at The Outlook Riding Academy and discover the transformative power of equine-assisted activities.

Equine & Nature-based Clinical Psychology

Individual and family Equine and Nature-based Clinical Psychology is available at our property for school-aged children, young adults and their families facing emotional, behavioural, and interpersonal difficulties. Young persons may attend appointments as private clients and/or on a GP Mental Health Care Plan.

Equine Assisted Personal & Professional Development

Our development sessions are a unique, exciting and experiential way of learning to connect with yourself, others and the changing environment; to develop life skills; understand patterns no longer serving you well; and strengthen existing talents, with horses! Horses challenge and support people to explore, experiment and experience, which promotes greater calm, creativity, inner and outer resourcing, and confidence to live with purpose and lead others.

Provisionally registered psychologists can contact Anna if they are interested in a clinical placement, and/or external primary or secondary supervision. Anna is a clinical psychologist and an AHPRA Board-approved supervisor.
