My 7yr old had a lesson with Emma who was fantastic with her.

She responded well to Emma’s guidance and encouragement and hence she progressed brilliantly in 1hr. Our daughter is very keen to continue and will return for more lessons for sure. I have no hesitation recommending them to anyone!
So fun for newbies!

I went with my mum and we had so many laughs! Neither of us had been on a horse before, but they made us feel so comfortable and boosted our confidence a lot! Definitely rounding up my friends to go on this with them
Had an awesome time
the horse riding was great and as a first time rider an outstanding experience with friendly helpful staff. The Day Spa….. OMG…. one word can describe it….. Bliss. Would highly recommend to anyone
What better way to spend a day connecting with your horse and learning to ride.

Thank you Yvette for organising a fabulous day at the horse camp
Your experience and love for horses showed through and was a great example to show the young people how to care for horses. The property was lovely, very well kept and horses were extremely well suited for young riders. Sheree
Lovely experience!

I had a 1 hour lesson and learned some new things which were very helpful. I will be getting some more for sure. Debbie is a very nice lady, very welcoming and experienced. The horse I rode Asha had a veautiful nature and was lovely to ride
Highly recommend taking your little ones for a Giddy Up class
My two nieces enjoyed this and has asked me to take them back to Bonogin Valley Horse Retreat in their next visit to Gold Coast. Total fun day with close interaction under the expert eye of Debbie. Aishath

I learned so much about natural horsemanship, best horses, riding through a jungle with kangaroos and koalas!!! there’s a breakfast ride, 3 hours one way, nice breaky, splash a bit around with the horses at the nearby river, and have a relaxing ride back! such great value! Tripadvisor 9/8/12
I recently took my grandson for a one hour private lesson
Google
which compared to the same lesson at an interstate riding school, was excellent value for money. Debbie and her staff were very welcoming and professional. Debbie provided my grandson with specific instruction, not just on riding, but the all important relationship between horse and rider. He loved it so much he is looking forward to further lessons. Thanks Debbie and the wonderful team for a fabulous experience. Leigh
Seniors Social Outing Day
Dear Debbie, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for an outstanding Senior Social Outing day. The Seniors totally loved visiting your wonderful retreat. And I heard that some yummy goodies were brought along to share. How wonderful. You are exceptional. They said it was very educational and such a different outing and loved the horses, your talk and the surroundings. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate you allowing our Seniors to come to your property. If possible, we would like to visit again next year in a few month’s time if that’s possible. Once again thank you so very much for having us along. It was fantastic and very memorable. With kindest regards Wendy Talbot Community Transport Programs Assistant Transport Services Volunteering Gold Coast
My six and eight year old grandchildren attended the Horse Play Day

During the holidays. The Riding School is in a beautiful location. We were greeted by friendly staff who introduced us around, giving individual instruction before heading off. It was equally impressive with their dilligence to both the safety of the riders as well as the horses, giving a strong sense of security. The horses were well grooomed and obviously looked after. The ride began with basic commands – adding confidence in the saddle. The horses were beautifully behaved and responsible. Jack and Abbey enjoyed it immensely and are looking forward to their next visit
Excellent, instruction from beginning to the end of our lesson.
I have been riding for 40 years including competing and eventing. My partner Wayne came with me he has ridden twice 30 years ago, he loved it and wants to go again. He learnt to lead a horse, mount and dismount, walk using the correct leg aides and seating position and rise to the trot today and has a new found confidence around horses. The horses are in fabulous condition and the riding gear is of a high standard. I loved having a lesson in conjunction with Wayne it worked really well. Chris our instructor is terrific. I am very impressed with Bonogin Valley Horse Retreat.

Such a beautiful place and the staff are lovely I have learnt so much. I have recently bought a horse myself and he’s adjisted with Deb he’s been so well looked after and deb has been great with advice and very patient with a panicky owner. I would highly recommend Bonogin Valley to anyone from the very beginner to the advanced. Just love it. Jennie
I have been having lessons here every week for well over a year.
I am very happy with both the instructors and the horses.The staff are very friendly and helpful and the horses seem content and well looked after. I have learnt a lot and some of my friends also ride here and they love it too. Adam.M
My daughter has been involved with Bonogin Valley Horse Retreat
for over 5 years learning all she can regarding maintenance, horsemanship and developing her skills as a horse rider. Deb and her team consistently show consideration for the education and safety of my daughter. All instructors are highly competent in all aspects of horsemanship. Could not recommend a better team! Adam.S
It was a fantastic mum and daughter day
and we both had a great time on the horses. Lovely place & friendly staff! Highly recommended!
We do really appreciate all you do for our daughter.
Feeling so special in any environment is such a gift for young girls and does so much for their self image and esteem as they grow older, so we consider our daughter very lucky to have found such solid special people to be around. See you soon. Cheers Nicole 21 March 2012.
