JW Equestrian has honestly been life-changing for me and my kids ❤️ From the moment we started, Jade has been nothing but amazing—so supportive, patient and genuinely caring. She always takes the time to guide us, explain things properly and make sure we feel comfortable. The whole team at JW Equestrian goes above and beyond, making every visit feel special.

As beginners, we never feel rushed or out of place. They always encourage us, let us ask heaps of questions and make learning super fun. My kids absolutely love it and so do I! We’ve built confidence, learnt so much about horses, and most importantly we’re always having fun. Honestly, couldn’t recommend JW Equestrian enough!

I cannot recommend jade (and junior) enough.
They have helped me regain my confidence after 6 years off riding after a bad accident. Jade is patient and understanding whilst also pushing to get the best out of me.
Jade is also great with my 4 year old niece and is very encouraging with kids, something that’s hard to find in the horse world from my experience.

I can’t thank jade enough for all the positive experiences she’s given me on her unicorns❤️

Highly recommend Jade & her team!
My daughter does weekly lessons and recently attended an amazing school holiday program put together by Jade & her team!
Couldn’t wipe the smile off of her face. Not just a day of riding, but learning all aspects of horses! They floated them. Lunged them. Horse care. The works!!

We love JW Equestrian. The confidence my daughter now has around horses and handling them is incredible. Knowledgable, super friendly & welcoming.

Be sure to bring a treat for Junior.

My four-year-old daughter absolutely loved the 30-minute school holiday ride special. The staff were incredibly friendly, patient, and great with kids. The ponies were calm and well cared for, and the whole experience was safe and fun from start to finish. A perfect introduction to riding for little ones – we’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommend! A very welcoming environment that delivers horse education in a kind and gentle way. Both instructors that I have had listen to your goals and regularly check in on how you’re feeling. Communication during lessons is clear. After a 13 year hiatus from riding I am thrilled that I chose Jade and her team!

I had a private lesson at JW Equestrian with Jade, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and positive. Jade was patient, knowledgeable, and made me feel fully supported throughout the lesson. Her clear instructions and encouragement helped build my confidence, and I left feeling accomplished and excited to come back. The facilities were well-maintained and the horses clearly well-cared for. I highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for a supportive and professional environment to learn or improve their riding!

Our daughter has been riding with Jade since she was 3, she’s about to turn 10.
Jade has been amazing with Ivy over the years. Patient, kind, and attentive to Ivy’s needs and what she wants to get out of her riding.
Ivy has progressed so much and very much loves to ride the ‘big’ horses.
Jade’s team have also been wonderful with Ivy.
The facilities at JW Equestrian are brilliant, with everything you could want for lessons or agistment.
I cannot recommend Jade and her team enough!

I have been taking lessons weekly over the last couple of months and I honestly can’t speak highly enough of Jade, her team and her horses. I started taking lessons as a way to rebuild my confidence - not just in riding, but in myself - and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time. What started as a nervous first session has turned into the absolute highlight of my week.

Everyone here is so incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging. From the instructors to the volunteers (and of course, the horses!), there’s such a warm, welcoming energy that makes you feel completely at ease. They genuinely care about each rider and take the time to support you at your own pace, which has made all the difference for me.

The horses are beautifully cared for and so well-matched to each person’s level. It’s clear how much love and respect goes into everything they do here. Each session with Simon lesson leaves me smiling, feeling stronger, and a so much more confident every time.

If you’re considering lessons - whether you’re brand new, returning after time away, or just looking for something special in your week - I couldn’t recommend this place more. It’s become a little sanctuary for me, and I’m so grateful for the experience 🫶🏽
