Nibbles
Nibbles: 16hh Warmblood Gelding- Competed to Level 4 Dressage- Nibbles is the perfect mount for you to get your confidence on before getting back in the saddle or purchasing your own horse, while he is not for beginners, he is super safe. He is the perfect dressage horse for you to learn dressage movements on and discover what are the right aids and how your seat and position affect a horses way of going. Nibbles also gives fantastic pole work sessions which helps riders focus on straightness and staying in a rhythm. while most people that ride him are returning to riding adults, he also gives plenty of lessons to teenagers, which gives them the best start to learning how to ride a hack.
Nibbles is not available for jumping lessons.
Nibbles Lessons are highly sought after and as he only offers 6 lessons a week there is sometimes a wait list, so please enquire within for his availability before booking online using the booking system.
Pony Camps
Fun Camps: Every school holidays Maungatua Equestrian hosts a fun camp for 7+ year olds, ranging in all abilities of riding and horsemanship. Camps are are a great way for kids to socialise in a safe environment while growing lasting friendships, as well as pushing themselves to go further in their riding abilities and grow their confidence.
We do a range of activities from hacking out, obstacles courses as well as trot poles and jumping courses as well as doing basic horsemanship.
You must have your own pony or horse for these camps
Bootcamp Camps: Every so often, I run a boot camp style camp for children/ teenagers that are becoming more competitive and want to succeed in the dressage or jumping arenas and start to “specialize” in their chosen disciplines. These are not overnight but run as individual/semi private lessons where you get two lessons a day- One 45 minute private lesson and One 45 minute semi private lesson, we also go over what we need to take when we go competing and how to feed our horses and ponies while we are away from home. These camps are limited to 6 children/teenagers only and are $350
