Horse Riding at Cherbon Waters Equestrian Centre is a dream come true for many aspiring horse riders and advanced riders. Our facilities feature a prestige indoor Equestrian Centre and on-location trail rides, located on the shores of the Lesley Harrison Dam in Burbank, south-east Brisbane, less than half an hour from Brisbane CBD, and minutes from Mt Gravatt, Cleveland, Rochedale, Mackenzie and Capalaba.
Cherbon Waters has been touted as Brisbane’s Best Horse Riding School for beginners, intermediate and advanced riding lessons.
Horse Riding can make you feel happy and positive, and lower your stress hormones – it naturally stimulates production of serotonin, giving you a sense of well-being. You might like to ride just to relax and experience the outdoors and enjoy the natural outdoors, take in the beautiful fresh air, soak in the stunning water views and spot some of the native wildlife including the gorgeous pretty face wallabies.
You might like to focus on learning new riding disciplines like dressage or jumping – to be honest, you never really stop learning when you’re into horse riding. Whatever it is you’d like to do, our instructors will help you, either improve your riding – or accompany you through the beautiful surroundings and water views here at Cherbon Waters.

HORSE RIDING
Where should I start?
Horse Riding can take you in so many directions, so the first question you should ask is “Do I want to ride for fun, or would I like to have lessons and learn to ride?”.
We recommend a Trail Ride as the best place to start. Join a Sunday Group Trail Ride or invite a friend or two on your own Private Trail Ride.
Horse Riding Lessons are our specialty. Get started with some private lessons, then progress to Group Lessons, then later look at our combined courses or advance to Dressage or Jumping…the choice is yours.
Start with a Private/Assessment lesson so we can assess your level of ability, then the horse riding world is your oyster. Talk to us about all the options available here at Cherbon Waters.
Whether it’s Private Lessons, Group Lessons, Gymkhana, Courses, Holiday Camps, Dressage, Jumping or more, we have you covered. You can pay as you go, or buy lessons in blocks and save money. Click HERE for details.
