At Mandara Equestrian Club, our carefully selected school horses are calm, friendly, and well-trained, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all our riders. We prioritize their well-being, providing ample free time and carefully managing their class schedules to keep them rested and happy.

Our certified trainers uphold high standards of teaching, guiding students of all levels with care and expertise. Mandara is proud to be inclusive, with classes available for children with special needs and tailored programs designed to suit each rider's unique needs. For more details, please reach out to our team.

The Club’s scenic facilities include multiple arenas, with our main arena conveniently located beside the café, so friends and family can watch your lessons. Additionally, our large indoor, air-conditioned arena is perfect for year-round riding, particularly during warmer months. We host regular Jumping and Dressage competitions (open to all) as well as year-round Dressage clinics to help students refine their techniques.

Our classes range from beginner to advanced, with each level carefully structured to help riders build skills at their own pace. Beginner classes introduce riders to basics with hands-on support, intermediate classes focus on building confidence and introducing cantering, and advanced classes cover Dressage and Jumping. For those uncertain of their level, we
offer 30-minute assessment classes to ensure appropriate placement.
