Gold Coast Equestrian Centre

Our daughter has been riding at GCEC for 6 months and her riding and jumping has improved immensely. The horses are amazing and the teachers are professional and caring. We are so happy we have secured her riding future by joining GCEC.

Gold Coast Equestrian Centre is a beautiful property with well trained horses. The coaches are super sweet and motivated and they really support you in your riding!

This property here is absolutely stunning, with beautiful rivers and lush green grass. I absolutely love riding here all the coaches are absolutely lovely and help you achieve your best in every lesson. The horses are very well trained and they are stunning.

Absolutely love riding at the Gold Coast Equestrian Centre. The management team are extremally professional and take amazing care of students and horses, the Olympic sized covered arena makes it so easy for the team to run lessons when there is wet weather. The team of coaches are professional, highly qualified and are so patient with students, lessons run by coaches are well structured, from teaching students the basics of looking after a pony to teaching the more advanced students difficult dressage movements. The trail ride track is something out of a movie, an amazing trail along the river with plenty of wildlife along the way. With the onsite Equi-jump store stocking well known brands such as Equestrian Collective, HLH Equestrian, Equidae, as well as European brands. Such a loving team of people who want to see you succeed as a rider and a person.

I have had an opportunity to take a few horse riding lessons and must admit that Alexandra and Ines are great coaches. All working staff always make me feel relaxed and confident on the horse, it really helps me to focus more and enjoy the ride. I am an adult with no riding experience and those ladies really help me to learn and have fun at the same time. Additionally, I want to say thank you to Grace for all help with organisation of my riding hours and support.

My daughter has been riding here for the past year. It has been a great experience for her. Our intereactions with the staff have always been courteous and they are very knowledgeable in all aspects of riding and horsemanship.

Our annual family holiday to Qld normally involves in All the theme parks, the beach and the pool. Over the last 12 months it has now moved to one theme park and as many riding lesson our daughter can get. With our favourite French coach Estelle away, expanding her horse knowledge we had Ines take her place. She was so good with our daughter and got her to canter when she felt confident enough. As always the ponies are amazing and Grace went above and beyond to help our daughter feel safe and secure (even she had a million other things going on) I highly recommend this riding school. The felicity and people who run it are amazing, that we will come to each time we come to Qld.

Arguably the best riding school for small children, pre teens and teens in Australia. We travelled from Sydney with our pre teen daughters to the Gold Coast just to have lessons with the amazing GCEC coaches and their unicorns in the stunning hinterland setting. Grace is extraordinary. She understands what inspires a love of riding in children and how to tailor the right pony to your child so they all walk away beaming. The safest ponies with the sweetest nature - well-educated and kind. If your child loves riding or wants to learn to ride the Gold Coast Equestrian Centre is the best in Australia. We will be back next holidays. Thank you Grace!

My son has just started lessons here and he absolutely loves every minute. The staff are so friendly and patient and he has picked up so much in the short time. Highly recommend Gold Coast equestrian.
