Riding Holidays

This is not your "normal" riding holiday, this is a unique learning experience aimed at dedicated equestrian students..

We are operate in a practical working environment and students have the opportunity to become involved in all facets of horse riding, training and daily stud procedures. This is where we differ from the normal riding holiday, you come here to learn and be immersed in the workings of the stud and all that entails. While we expect you to have fun and enjoy the experience, including the extra curricular activities that are available, this is not a luxury, comfort catered for holiday, where all your needs are met. You are here to learn, this holiday riding experience is for the dedicated student who is committed to their on-going training and development.

Live, sleep, and breath horses. Immerse yourself in a genuine, working horse culture at a centre dedicated to the classical equestrian arts.

Job Opportunities

Classical Horsemastership students are in demand from employers around the world for their knowledge, competency and dedication to the handling and on-going training of horses. Needless to say it doesn't matter how much knowledge and competency a person has, they must also possess physical stamina, work ethic and the ability to apply common sense in different situations.

We can help you connect with employers who are seeking staff with our training and the above attributes. For further information click here.

Holiday Duration

Generally we would recommend a minimum of eight to ten days, plus a stud orientation day, enough time to recover from jetlag, and inclusion of a clinic. Ideally we would like to see you for around one month.

We look forward to seeing you here....
