Is Rasheed, a strong and sturdy Arabian gelding. We rode for hours each day, navigating through steep mountain passes, rocky terrain, and breathtaking valleys. The views were absolutely stunning, with snow-capped peaks towering above us and lush green valleys spreading out before us. We stayed in traditional Berber villages along the way, experiencing their warm hospitality and delicious local cuisine.
It was an adventure of a lifetime, filled with challenging trails, incredible horseback riding, and cultural immersion. I will never forget the feeling of complete awe and wonder as I rode through the Atlas Mountains, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the bond between horse and rider.
At Hollyhall Horse Riding School, we strive to create a similar sense of wonder and adventure for our riders. Located on 25 acres in Avoca, NSW, in the picturesque Southern Highlands, our school offers a safe and calm environment for both horse and rider. With over 25 years of experience, we understand the importance of a happy and content horse, as well as the need for a supportive space for riders to learn and grow.
Our facilities include an indoor arena, perfect for all-weather riding and training sessions. We also have a cross-country course, show jumps, and a competition outdoor arena, catering to riders of all levels and disciplines. Whether you are a competitive rider looking to improve your skills or a beginner seeking to learn the basics of horse riding, we have the facilities and expertise to meet your needs.
What sets us apart is our commitment to inclusivity and community. We believe that horse riding should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or experience. That's why we have run “Pony Club for Grown-Ups,” allowing adults to rediscover their love for horses and experience the joy of riding. We also host regular non-competitive days, where riders of all levels can enjoy our facilities at a low fee.
We welcome competitive riders as well, with our experienced instructor having competed in various disciplines for over 45 years.
The horses at Hollyhall Farm come in all shapes and sizes. From clydesdales to thoroughbreds off the track, miniatures to warmbloods, show horses to eventers, we have seen and loved them all. We pride ourselves on providing a safe and nurturing environment for every horse that comes through our gates. Our team of experienced staff and instructors ensures that each horse receives individualised care and attention, tailored to their specific needs.
