Natural Horsemanship

We believe that good horsemanship is similar to a good partnership between people. There is no domination and aggression, instead there is an agreement between horse and rider that comes from respect and trust.
 
At Leconfield we have a team of over thirty beautiful and user friendly Australian stock horses for beginners, intermediate and experienced riders. The basic skills necessary for Australian stock riding are taught, and we match the horse to the rider. If the horse suits you he will become your exclusive mount for the duration of the stay, allowing the two of you to build up a wonderful horse-rider rapport.

After matching you with your horse, we will cover aspects of proper care. We will assist you in learning how to put a bridle and saddle on, as well as how to properly ride and care for your horse, with instruction on grooming and shoeing. We cater for people with no horse experience at all through to advanced riders, so you are sure to fit in, whatever your skill level.
