About Us
Welcome Horse Lover!
This horse riding directory has been in the making for 11 longgg years.
It was born out of frustration when we went searching for a riding school in Sydney for our then 6 year old daughter (now 17) and again, when we searched for a riding school on the Sunshine Coast in 2016.
We thought if we experienced this challenge, maybe others out there in the horse world were experiencing the same challenge 😅
So we slowly built this Australian online directory expanding from riding lessons into trail rides, beach rides, pony parties, horse tours and holiday camps across Australia.
We list every business for free as our vision is to simply help other horse lovers discover places to ride. And like us, you’ll do your research and discover the riding centre that best suits you.
There are plenty of places on offer so research til your heart’s content and if you’d like to know how to prepare, read this Article for a little inside info 😉
Our daughter first sat on a horse at the tiny age of 6 months. She was taught to groom a horse aged 2 and was shovelling horse poop aged 4.
Although our daughter’s journey started young, we were pretty green when we started her equestrian journey aged 6 so we had PLENTY to learn.
We wholeheartedly supported her love of equestrian despite recognising the degree of danger that came with it.
But boy were we in for our own ride 😅 although her father had experience with horses, we were still newbies and had to learn the equestrian lingo, how to choose a saddle, the type of riding boots, the best helmet to protect our daughter’s brain not to mention learning about all the different gear that comes with it!
We did this because we could see the benefits of her passion. And not just the physical benefits, it was the responsibility of looking after a horse, the work before the ride and the work after the ride.
We’ve shared our experience with the goal of helping others who find themselves in the position we were in all those years ago.
