Karelia Riding Instruction Canberra

Welcome to Karelia Riding Instruction, located at Bywong, Clare Lane, 2 in Canberra, Australia. My name is Angela and I am thrilled to have you here.

At Karelia, our focus is on providing private riding lessons to ensure that riders truly learn to ride independently and confidently. Unlike many other riding schools where riders simply follow the leader in group lessons, we believe in giving personalized attention to each rider.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced rider needing fine-tuning for the show ring or dressage arena, we are here to help. Our philosophy is centered around the idea that it is the rider's responsibility to make the horse happy, not the other way around. Our horses are not just lesson horses, they are part of our family and are treated with the utmost care and respect.

We believe that dressage is the foundation of any discipline, whether it be trail riding or competition. Every horse deserves an educated and balanced rider to feel happy and comfortable while being ridden. At Karelia, we strive to help riders become that educated and balanced rider.

We offer a range of services to cater to different needs and preferences. You can choose to ride our quiet and well-educated school horses or bring your own horse. We provide private one-on-one lessons, small group lessons, competition squads, and holiday programs. Additionally, we have in-house Karelia Horse Shows and two dressage arenas available for use from 8 am to 8 pm, even under lights.

Our team consists of an EA Level 1 Dressage Coach who is experienced in teaching riders of all ages and skill levels. Whether you are looking for regular riding lessons or just a one-off session, we have options available to suit your needs.

So, if you are ready to become the rider that your horse deserves, come and join us at Karelia Riding Instruction. Enroll now for an enriching and fulfilling riding experience.
