Would you like your children to learn safely how to ride horses? We can teach them using natural horsemanship methods (horse communication). We offer weekly lessons that start in our arena but with a focus on being able to ride independently on a trail.

Everybody can learn how to ride at Black Mountain Hideaway, including small children, less-abled people and adults. You will also learn how to handle, groom and to saddle up the horses while having heaps of fun! Do you have the spirit? Come and join our Black Mountain Hideaway horseriding club!
