Giddy up for horses

IF YOU are looking for something to keep the children amused during the school holidays particularly on a wet day, then Ranges Equestrian Centre is the ideal choice.
Ranges Equestrian Centre’s fun-filled school holiday program operates weekdays between 19 and 30 June.
The centre is accredited with the Australian Horse Riding Centres and qualified, experienced and friendly instructors operate under high safety standards.
“Come and have a great horse experience with us,” says the centre’s director, Yvonne Speekman.
“Our horses and ponies are fully trained and well mannered and will become favourites with the children.
“Programs are conducted in the indoor arena which is ideal on a cold wet day and consist of basic riding skills for inexperienced children or dressage and jumping and outdoor riding for the more experienced rider. All children learn basic safety skills around horses.”
Half-day programs at Ranges Equestrian Centre are suitable for children between six and 11 years with little or no riding experience at a cost of $50.
Full day programmes are suitable for children from eight years with more experience, at a cost of $75.
Ranges Equestrian Centre is located at 2425 Healesville-Kooweerup Road, Yellingbo, only 15 minutes from Emerald, Monbulk and Yarra Junction.
