Saddle Up with Woodlands
Learn to Ride
Woodlands Historic Park

It’s never too early or late to learn! Develop confidence and competency in the saddle, so you can start exploring our beautiful country on horseback.

Located only 5 minutes from Melbourne International Airport and 30 minutes from the heart of Melbourne, there is no other experience quite like this in Victoria. This is your chance to set the foundations for horse riding at its best amongst Australian wildlife and habitat of Woodlands Historic Park.

By attending a general lesson, this will provide flexibility to attend a session without the added commitment of term structured lessons. Each session will consist of learning basic horsemanship, how to tack up your own horse, mount independently followed by a riding lesson.
