My Daughter and I went horse riding, it was something I wanted to do for a long time, it was the best thing ever! Staff were helpful, polite and accommodating. Had such a lovely horse β€œTorval” and my daughter had β€œTarantino” my horse was great, didn’t have any issues but my daughters horse was in slow mode and it was funny to watch ( made my dayπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚). I would recommend Templewood to anyone. Thankyou to all the staff for a Wonderful experience!!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families introducing young children to horse riding β€” the small group sizes and patient instructors make it well-suited to nervous beginners from age 5. Confident adult riders can request canter-inclusive trail rides in the Adelaide Hills setting.

β€œWe had such a wonderful experience with my 5 year old daughter’s first horse riding lesson. There were three teachers with her and one other child, which made me feel very reassured that she was in safe hands. The instructors were incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and we really appreciated how much they taught her about the horses and horse riding. I was honestly expecting her to just walk around in circles for her first lesson, so my expectations were completely blown away. Even the lady I spoke to on the phone when making the booking was so friendly, and the staff at the desk on the day were just as welcoming. It was truly an all round wonderful experience.”

β€œAmazing Experience! I am a first-time rider, and my experience thought the lesson was very informative. All thanks to Christiane ( I hope I got this right, haha). My experience was very calm and relaxed. She ensured I was safe throughout the lesson and provided me with a lot of knowledge while still making it interesting. And Tarrentino, the beautiful horse, was also quite gentle and clam, so a big thank you to him too! I will definitely be back again and would recommend this to friends and family..”
