Events and School Holiday Camps

Horse Riding & Horsemanship Day Camp

Ponies, paddock play, painting, and feeding carrots—welcome to the Coast's favourite holiday camp!

From absolute beginners to saddle superstars (ages 4–16), our Day Camps combine horse riding, horsemanship, and paddock play. It's a day of learning, growth, hands-on skills, teamwork, and giggles. We welcome kids from Sydney, Newcastle, and right across the Central Coast—and we specialise in making newbies feel completely at ease from the moment they walk through the gates.

It’s all about having fun and having a go! We provide the horses and the helmets—you book online and arrive with a smile on your dial.
