So hard to write this post - Goodbye Rufus - Today we had to make the decision to put you to rest - you have brought so much love and happiness to our lives - from the moment I picked you up from the airport (yes true Naomi fashion you had to come from Queensland!) your big ears and puppy dog eyes - I fell in love with you - never ending tail waging and pat nudges from you. You have blessed our family humans; canines and equines with your affection and big needy heart. Run over that rainbow bridge Rufus forever now

**Urgent business update NTES May 2024**

When it rains it pours,
NTES has had a very soggy weekend (month even) Horses are currently fed and happy (ish) .

We’ve received official notification from Sydney water; that starting tomorrow, we no longer have access to our Darkes Road property for the next couple of months.

Very unfortunate timing, and as you could all imagine the inconvenience this causes on us, our business and especially facilitating all of our clients’ needs.

What this means for us;
We have our property “Kookaburrgh” on Crest Road in Albion park. Business will officially move there for the next couple of months. We also understand this will interfere with people’s plans, traveling and timeframe.

We are so sorry by the inconvenience caused, also so thankful to everyone for their ongoing support.

We will be reaching out and letting people know; however if you’ve read this. If you’re able to message us and either confirm or deny if you would like to attend the remainder of this term it would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of love, NTES ❤️

ANZAC Day 2024

NTES once again attended Dawn Service at Dapto train station to pay respects to our ANZACS. We’re grateful to be a part of this and grateful for the service our ANZACS did for our country.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget ❤️

Alison on Tia
Shanniah on Magpie
Charlotte on Chance
Leanne on Gem

NTES status update:

Hi everyone,
We would once again like to thank everyone for their offers of support and understanding after the severe rain event we experienced.

Additional to flood remediation, Sydney water have commenced work in the paddock. To be frank, we severely underestimated the scale of the work. (reference photo)
Unfortunately what this means to us is that we are running at a limited capacity / unable to operate in most instances.

Watch this space and once term resumes please get in touch to see what we can facilitate.
Sorry for the inconvenience but as I’m sure you can all appreciate; everyone’s safety including the horses are our upmost priority.

Lots of love, NTES ❤️

Rain 🌧️
12.04.2024

To end the week that was; today, NTES has gained another angel to watch over them. The sun was shining and our beautiful Rain has been laid to rest. In true notebook fashion, she’s now at rest next to her great love; Storm. These two from the moment they met were inseparable.
They can now rest in peace together forever 🩷

Rain joined our school in 2018.
She had a very different start compared to most of our school horses, most join and within the first week it’s like they’ve always been there.
Rain had a sway back, was missing fur all over her body, was skiddish, timid and had the hardest mouth I’ve ever encountered, definitely not safe to be ridden off the lead and had a lot of room for improvement. She was scared of the world.

There was one thing this sweet pretty thing needed, and that was love. Boy oh boy did she have love to give back too. Rain was loved for her personality; We’ve never met a horse more sweet natured than her. She really came out of her shell the years she was with us. We are grateful to have also been able to also fill her life with love in return. She was one of a kind, an absolute angel however we will sleep well at night knowing she’ll always be watching over us.

Love you a lot pretty girl, as we know so many others do too. Rest in peace angel🩷🩷🩷

Our Story

North Terrace Equestrian Services riding school offers Horse Wisdom through Equine-Assisted Learning. Equine-assisted learning (EAL) is a non-therapy skills-based service that focuses on teaching life skills, social skills, communication skills, or leadership skills while facilitating personal growth and increased self-awareness through both mounted and non-mounted interactions with horses.

Adaptive/Therapeutic horseback riding Adaptive Riding: Adaptive riding is a non-therapy skills-based service in which specially trained instructors teach horseback riding and horsemanship skills to students with disabilities or special needs. Therapeutic riding provides benefits in the areas of health, education, sport and recreation & leisure.

Adaptive Riding is recreational horseback riding lessons for individuals with special needs. Riders learn horsemanship and riding skills in an environment tailored to their individual needs and learning styles. We offer instruction to riders of all skill levels. Adaptive riding Services and Equine assisted learning are provided by educators, riding instructors, or life/professional development coaches who create a wide variety of games and exercises designed to meet each student's needs. Lesson plans take into account the rider's physical, emotional, and mental strengths and limitations. Classes include arena riding, trail rides, and group activities. With the combination of a trusted horse, instructor, and group of volunteers, riders become more willing to try new things and attain new goals.
