Riding School

We provide weekday lessons during the day and after school. Private and group lessons for both adults and children. Group lessons for adults or children are organized so that the level of experience is similar to optimize learning. As well as learning on the horse, we encourage students to interact with the horses before and after riding class. We have specialized trained staff on hand to help students around the horse to train and guide you to learn good horsemanship and horse care as well as learning how to become a confident handler & rider.

School Holidays

Bartley Riding Academy provides one of Auckland’s top School Holiday Programmes for both beginners and advances riders. The programme usually goes from 9am to 3pm and covers a wide range of horsie activities. Students will have two riding lessons and spend the rest of the time learning how to handle and care for a horse in a fun, safe and group environment. We have a buddy system in which students are paired up with a helper to keep them safe at all times around the horses and facilities.

The holiday programme is a great way to start children off on their journey towards becoming a safe and skilled horse rider and learning what horse riding is all about. It’s also a really good opportunity to make new friends and be around others who enjoy “horsie time” and share in the experience of becoming a more skilled rider.

Gift vouchers for the programme are available and make great presents; just a reminder that the school is for children ages 7+

Please note that the School Holiday Programme falls under the same guidelines as the riding school therefore Terms and Conditions must be read, an Application must be filled out prior to arriving and you must familiarise yourself with the Price List as to avoid confusion.
