The Mairehau Riding Centre is a family owned and operated business located at 130 Mairehau road, Burwood Christchurch. The riding centre has been teaching generations of adults and children how to ride since the seventies. We specialise in safe, sensible and well school horses and ponies.

The Mairehau Riding Centre provides riding instruction and lessons to children from the age of 6; for complete beginners to more established riders. Enjoy walking, trotting, cantering and jumping depending on your ability. Our horses and ponies are purpose breed English Riding ponies, Welsh, Arab, Shetland, Station hacks and Thoroughbred crosses. Horses range in size from 10’3hh to 15’3hh.

We offer a 90 minute group session where you get to help catch and lead the ponies into the yard, and then brush and help to put the saddle and bridle on before riding for $15 each. A shorter 45 minute session is available for younger children or those who do not want to spend so long in the saddle for $10.

We provide the ponies/ horses and all the gear including riding helmets. Maximum rider weight is 85kg.
