HOW EXCITING 

Our hard work and dedication has paid off with a fully surfaced indoor arena!

This arena has been years in the making and means we can ride no matter the weather.

It may be raining, no worries! TO THE INDOOR

It may be hot, no worries! TO THE INDOOR 

It looks incredible and is an amazing facility to ride in.

How lucky are we.

Our aim is to provide safe, friendly and educational lessons to allow each rider to reach their individual goals. Whether it be the first steps of trot and canter or improving your riding position and balance. We can help you to become a confident and better skilled competitor and achieve harmony with your horse in your riding, as well as helping riders and coaches develop in the sport.

​

We offer holiday camps for children and teenagers every school holiday and some weekends. Why not drop the children off and spend some time at the nearby Hunter Valley vineyards?

​

Sterntaler also breeds Warmblood horses for training in the Olympic disciplines. Our stock are bred to some of the most influential Australian and International Thoroughbred & Warmblood stallions. We would welcome the opportunity to show you our stock should you be looking for your next champion or partner to train and compete.

​

We look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your equestrian dreams.
