INTRODUCING ANOTHER ONE OF OUR FABULOUS COACHES
Hi there my name is Alannah, I am a NZQF qualified equine coach and I have a NZQF Sport horse assistance qualification. I have an absolute passion for horses and riding! I was born in Dublin, Ireland and relocated to beautiful NewZealand when I was young. I enjoying teaching any discipline but I have a strength with show jumping. I think having harmony & partnership with your horse is very important and I always teach that way! I absolutely love being able to pass on my knowledge to beginners or experienced riders. Thanks so much and let’s have heaps of fun!!

Disappointed to find outside competitors that used our yards today left them for our very busy volunteers to muck out and tidy.
Due to this our yards will no longer be able to be used by non Arion riders at future events

Look out for our new RECREATIONAL RIDE currently being loaded on our booking system. Consists of a short session in an arena learning the basics and getting to know your horse followed by a quiet stroll/trek through the adjoining forest
