GROUP TUITION: (4 to 6 riders per group)

RIDING GEAR: According to the SAEA (South African Equestrian Association), for safety reasons, scholars must ride in the correct headgear (a riding helmet with a chinstrap joining at 3 points or a skull cap).  Riding shoes with a small heel is also compulsory.  Riding helmets are available to be borrowed from WEC, but it is advisable to obtain your own modern helmet with improved shock absorption.  Children may not groom, turn, or lead horses without the correct helmet and shoes on.

The stables are large with shavings for bedding.  Horses are shod every 5-6 weeks, if necessary. Farrier and veterinary bills are not included in the livery fee and will be billed to your Woodridge account. Any additional supplements are to be purchased by the owner of the horse.  Poultices, creams, veterinary ointments, etc. are to be purchased by the owner of the horse and clearly labeled.  Horses are expected to have their own grooming bag with clearly marked contents.

Stabled Pony: R 5,150 per month | Live-out Pony: R 3,650 per month
