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

Woodlands is farmland on the western side of the Southern Highlands, and The Parklands Stables keeps its riding school on Spring Hill Road. Beyond its weekly lessons, the stables opens its yards to workplaces for team-building sessions led by facilitators.

Inside a Woodlands corporate session at the stables:

Meeting the herd: each session opens with a welcome to the horses the team will work with.
Exercises on the ground: colleagues practise awareness and clear communication with a horse, a format built to get people talking about how they listen.
A facilitated debrief: the day closes with a discussion that links the yard work back to the team's goals.
Light catering: food is served as part of the corporate programme.
Riding on request: time in the saddle sits outside the core plan and is set up for any team that requests it.

Each programme is shaped around what the business wants from the day, whether that is trust, working through change or a break together.

A covered and lit arena measuring 60 by 20 metres.
A round yard used for close work between guest and horse.
A grass ring set up for show jumping.
A working equitation course, plus a 400 metre track for short rides.
