Tandivale Equestrian Centre & Pony Club

Magnificent!
Couldn’t have asked for more knowledgeable and caring staff and volunteers who ran the Holiday Program.
My daughter has a number of allergies, and the staff made us feel safe and provided helpful advice that made us feel comfortable and well looked after.
Thank you very much, we’ve had the best day.

My daughter has been riding at Tandivale in their Sunday program for 5 years since she was 12. She had ridden at another riding school that closed down. In comparison, Tandivale instructors are far superior, with their priority on safety as well as the well being and care of the horses. My daughter has progressed with her riding skills to a high level of confidence with both general riding and jumping. My daughter loves being around the horses, not just the riding aspect but also opportunity she has had to learn all aspects of horse care. The instructors are great, patient and have good sense of humour and my daughter has also made some great horsey friends. I highly recommend Tandivale as the place to learn about horses and riding.

Save your money and your time.

My daughter had lessons for 15 weeks here. One of the lessons the instructor become complacent and another horse attacked the horse my daughter was riding and as a result, she fell. In the 15 weeks my daughter had lessons, I found that the instructors failed to properly and proffessionally instruct and failed to push the kids, the ponies are extremely worn and tired and almost impossible to get going, which i know is common for school horses, but I feel with a bit more time and effort the horses could be much better. I feel my daughter was practically ignored the entire time and the instructors are burnt out and tired. I learnt to ride at tandivale 20 years ago and I am so disappointed with the level of unprofessionalism and lack of enthusiasm that now flows through the stables and arenas.

I recently put my daughter into lessons at another school and she learnt more and recieved more encouragment from her instructor in the first lesson then she did in the entire 15 weeks she had lessons at tandivale.

I have been riding at Tandivale for over two years now and I have enjoyed every minute of it! All the horses are so lovely to ride and be around and the trainers are so encouraging and I always learn lots from them. They also always make sure you are having a great time and make the lessons fun and enjoyable. I really recommend Tandivale for riders of any level and I hope to keep learning and improving during my time at Tandivale.

Many years ago my daughter rode here but developed a medical issue and was unable to ride for the three hours required. Upon advising tandivale of medical issue, they did not and would not negotiate a postponement of lessons until medical issue resolved nor would they refund. Medical certificate was available but they didn’t want to know - $600 down the drain.

My daughter recently did a holiday program at Tandivale. To say she was thrilled afterwards is an understatement. She couldn't stop talking about the horses, her teachers and what they did for weeks. Despite everything else we did those holidays that's the only thing she remembered and cared to share with everyone. I would highly recommend Tandivale, they were professional, had a great program and very engaged teachers. We'll definitely be signing up again.

My daughter is in her 2nd term and enjoying it, her beginger class is 4 to 1 ratio with girls similar age. The drive up is just beautiful. No make up class though. Teachers are kind but firm.

I give it a 5 star rating because they helped me when I was scared to ride a horse. The horse I rode was Django, Django is my dogs name.

I have been there for almost 3 years now and it has been amazing. I have loved every minute of being there. I have learnt a lot in the past 3 years then anywhere else and I hope to keep learning throughout my time here at Tandivale.

Never had a chance to experience the actual horse riding as it took a year and a half for them to email back and say "no lessons available". Excellent communication.

I've been riding at tandi for a year and a half! I Love it so much! The horses are so quiet and calm.i have had lessons in different places and they didnt explain things very well. I came to tandi and they explained everything so well and if you don't feel comfortable to do something they are totally fine with it! I Never want to leave!
