The Parklands Stables - horse riding in the Southern Highlands

The Parklands Stables (Woodlands)3.9 (11)

Six to eight guests can book an Equine Encounter, meet their horse, groom it and try a lead-line or round-yard activity together.

Choosing a Trail Ride

Across Berrima & Western Highlands, horse experiences for workplaces happen on a farm at Woodlands, where The Parklands Stables runs facilitated team days beside its riding school. The sessions use horses to get colleagues talking about trust and communication, with riding kept optional.

Why a western Highlands team might choose a day with horses:

Groundwork comes first: exercises on foot build awareness and communication, so nobody needs to have ridden before.
Shaped around a goal: building trust, handling change or simply unwinding are all starting points the facilitators can work from.
A debrief is built in: a facilitated discussion closes the day and turns what happened in the yard into talking points for work.
Food is covered: light catering is part of the corporate format, so there is no separate catering booking to make.
A shorter option for small teams: the Equine Encounter takes six to eight people, grooming and working beside a horse chosen for each guest.

The stables sit on farmland at Woodlands, a quieter corner of the region away from the village streets of Berrima.

Berrima & Western Highlands Horse Riding

The corporate experience suits a team wanting a full facilitated programme, from a welcome to the horses through to the closing debrief.
The Equine Encounter lasts about 40 minutes and caps at eight, a fit for a small leadership group or project team.
A 10-minute ride on the 400 metre track and a farm picnic high tea can be added, with 48 hours' notice for the high tea.
Riding on corporate days is arranged for teams that ask for it, so mention it in the enquiry if the group wants time in the saddle.

What the Woodlands farm offers a visiting team

A covered arena of 60 by 20 metres, with lighting, gives the group somewhere under cover on a cold or wet Highlands day.
A round yard, a grass show-jumping ring and a working equitation course are spread around the property.
The horses are professionally schooled and never work more than two lessons a day.
Part of every booking goes to Horse Rescue Australia, a detail some workplaces like to share with staff.
