What we offer
More than riding. A genuine education in horses.
At Terrey Hills Riding School, we believe that learning to ride is only part of learning about horses.
For those who truly love horses, the greatest part of riding is the relationship we develop with them. Our students are encouraged to understand horses as individuals, to learn how to care for and communicate with them, and to develop the confidence and skills needed to handle them safely, thoughtfully and with empathy.
Every lesson combines time in the saddle with practical horsemanship — grooming, saddling, handling and learning how horses think and respond. We believe that when riders learn to understand and communicate with their horse, both horse and rider can enjoy a more positive and rewarding experience.
Located in the peaceful semi-rural surrounds of Terrey Hills and Duffys Forest, just 40 minutes from Sydney CBD, we offer riding and horsemanship lessons, school holiday programs and trail rides on experienced horses.
Our friendly, encouraging environment caters for a range of experience levels.
Riding & Horsemanship
Our lessons focus on developing confident, capable riders who can communicate effectively and empathetically with the horses.
Depending on experience and ability, instruction includes general riding, dressage and show jumping, as well as opportunities to enjoy trail riding as part of our regular lesson program.
But learning doesn’t stop when you leave the saddle. Students also learn the practical skills that are an essential part of being around horses — how to approach and handle a horse safely, groom, saddle, rug and care for them, and how to recognise and respond to their individual needs.
We believe these skills are just as important as learning to ride.
For People Who Love Horses
If you want your child to do more than simply sit on a horse for an hour, our after-school program offers the opportunity to genuinely spend time with horses and learn what it means to care for them.
Our children’s program is for ages 9–16 and combines riding with practical horsemanship in a supportive, social environment.
For adults, we specialise in developing riders in small group lessons designed to build confidence, riding ability and a better understanding of the horse.
Whether you’re learning to ride for the first time or looking to develop your existing skills, our aim is always the same: to help riders become more knowledgeable, confident and empathetic horse people.
If you love horses, want to spend time with them, want to learn how to care for them, and want to learn to ride with understanding and empathy, we’d love to hear from you.
