Regular Lessons
Lessons run Tuesday - Saturday both during and after regular school hours. Lessons are booked for the term, and riders are given a regular weekly or fortnightly timeslot. Students can also participate in our Badge Program!
Group Lessons $60 - 45 mins - 1 hr
Groups accommodate 2-4 riders per instructor, with numbers based on ability level. Group lessons are suitable for novice riders upward and allow for a fantastic social aspect in lessons. You can book as a group of riders who wish to attend lessons together, or join an existing group.
Semi-Private Lessons $65 - 45 mins
Semi-Private lessons accomodate up to 2 riders per instructor. These lessons are suitable for strong beginner riders upward, and are perfect for riders seeking a little more individual focus, or quieter environment than group lessons. You can book as a pair of riders, or join an existing lesson.
Private Lessons $75 - 45 mins (+travel if required)
Private lessons allow students to work one on one with their instructor. This allows students to have their own space to learn or work on more advanced riding. Private lessons are suitable for all ages and ability levels, and we recommend Raw Beginners start here for 2-5 lessons to get a hang of the basics.
