riding lessons

We offer riding lessons for beginners and intermediate riders. Our main goal is to teach your child how to love horses  and take care of it. Your child will learn horsemanship, good showmanship and how to form a mutual partnership with their equine partner. 

Here at Robertson Horse Adventures we focus more on gaining riding experience through having fun than drill the kids with endless circles and transitions. Here you’ll experience horses as raw and honest as possible

 

Pony rides

For the little riders that just absolutely love horses but are still a little to young, we offer short 15 minute pony rides through our orchards and vineyards. Their ponies will be on a lead rope and they will learn the basics while having fun. 

Riding horses are extremely benificial for the young child. For children that easily gets distracted or scared, this is the perfect option to get them started on their horse riding journey.
