AMAZING EXPERIENCE

A True Escape from Everyday Life

This is your permission slip to switch off, slow down, and breathe again. No kids, no schedules, no pressure — just you, your horse, fresh air, and space to actually enjoy the moment. It’s the kind of reset you can’t get in a weekend at home.

Expert Coaching in a Motivating Small-Group Setting

With three professionally coached lessons by EA Level 3 Dressage & Level 1 Legerete Coach Leanne Williams, you’ll gain clarity, confidence, and make real progress in your riding — all within a supportive group of just four riders. Learning alongside others means you can share insights, celebrate breakthroughs together, and be inspired by the energy and encouragement of the group, while still receiving focused attention from the coach.

Ride, Relax, Repeat the Perfect Balance

From dressage lessons to mountain trail rides, cavalletti and jumping, this getaway blends purposeful riding with pure enjoyment. You’ll stretch your skills while still having plenty of time to relax, soak in the spa, sip wine, and laugh with like-minded women.

Connection with Women who “Get it”

Spend the weekend surrounded by fellow horse women who understand the early mornings, the muddy boots, and the heart-horse bond. The conversations, friendships, and shared experiences often become just as memorable as the riding itself.

Be Completely Looked After

Accommodation, meals, wine, cheese platters, pizzas, and picnic lunches are all taken care of. Your horse is safely yarded, you’re well-fed, and the only thing you need to think about is enjoying yourself. This is being spoiled — properly.

Memorable Moments with your Horse & Alike Women

Golden trail rides, sunset drinks, horses tied up while you picnic, and that deep sense of contentment you only get when you’ve truly had a break. You’ll head home refreshed, inspired, and more connected to your horse than ever.

Time to Focus on You and Your Horse

So often our riding is squeezed in between work, family, and responsibilities. This weekend gives you uninterrupted, guilt-free time to truly tune in to your horse, feel every improvement, and enjoy riding for the love of it. No rushing, no watching the clock — just meaningful time together that strengthens your partnership and reminds you why you started riding in the first place.

In Case We Haven’t Met Yet…

Welcome to Avoca Park — your home for the weekend!

Avoca Park is more than just a riding facility; it’s a place designed to slow you down, breathe deeply, and properly enjoy time with your horse.

Set in a peaceful rural environment, our property offers a balance of purpose-built facilities and natural spaces that make it the perfect setting for a genuine getaway.

You’ll ride in our indoor arena, allowing lessons to go ahead comfortably in any weather, and explore the Avoca Trails obstacle course, where you can challenge yourself and your horse in a safe, supportive environment. Beyond the arenas, the property opens out into quiet, scenic spaces that invite you to relax and simply be present.

One of the most special places on the property is our Memorial Reserve — a calm, reflective space surrounded by nature. It’s a place many riders find grounding and meaningful, and it plays host to one of the weekend’s most memorable shared moments.

Avoca Park has been built over decades with care, intention, and a deep respect for horses and the people who love them.

Every part of the property has been thoughtfully developed to support learning, connection, and enjoyment — without rush or pressure.

For our Ladies Equine Getaway, Avoca Park becomes your retreat: a place to ride, unwind, eat well, share stories, and reconnect with what you love most about horses and being around people who understand that passion.

We can’t wait to welcome you.
