I have decided to start riding lessons again, so I would like to know if you know about any Riding schools/Equestrian centres/Stables in or very near to inner west Sydney.
They have to be English style not Western.
Try Google, Sydney is a broad place and it’d be pointless for me to name all of them in that area. Or you could ask around your neighborhood.
I love dressage, so I’m sure you’ll love riding too!

i want to know all about it. i want to know what i need for it. i really want to do it. but idk what it cost.
im not sure what school yet possibly k-state any vet school pretty much.
Hey, I’m looking into going to K State for equine science lol. But I’m probably going to Mizzou. Here is a website that might answer some of your questions, but the best way to ask, is to tour the campus. Just go to their website and sign up for a day. I don’t know about Kansas too much, but other Equine schools in Missouri are Truman State, Missouri State, University of Missouri, William Woods, and Stephens. Good luck!

Personally, I’m a bit irritated that the only way to ask questions about Equestrian Rider Amazon.com’;return true;” onmouseout=”self.status=””>equestrian sports is in the "pets" section. Horses are not pets, especially for people who ride competitively. Equestrian sports are just that: sports. Anyone who has ridden a horse knows how it takes muscles to ride and body control. For people who think riding is easy, I invite them to hop on a horse and post the trot without stirrups and report back! How do other people feel about this?
Meg, you are fortunate that there is even a "horses" section at all under the Pets category- when I joined YA two years ago, even this didn’t exist- the only section having anything at all to do with horses was the one about horse racing. It took many months of letters and complaints by myself and by other horse lovers on here before we were FINALLY given a section of our own about a year and a half ago now. If you want a section specifically for non racing horse sports, then you are going to have to write a lot of letters and petition YA’s leadership about it, and get other performance horse enthusiasts to do likewise. It’s a case of being the squeaky wheel, Meg. The more letters you write, and the more you get other people to join your cause, the greater the likelyhood you’ll be paid attention to.
I agree that horse sports are sports- indeed, they are some of the oldest sports in existence. Dressage alone is over 2600 years old- and polo, which my sister plays as a hobby, is even older than that. Eventing came from the tests given to calvary officers and their mounts, and was invented by the great armies of Europe and Asia as a means of determining who was fit to lead troops in combat or mounted warfare. The ancient Olympic games included a forerunner of the modern 3 Day called the Militare, along with regular horse and chariot races. Show jumping also was invented by the various militaries- this sport came from the jumping contests which officers from different divisions often got into. These people rode against one another and against the clock, trying to see who could jump the highest and who could jump as many fences as possible in the least amount of time. So I challenge anybody who says that horse sports aren’t sports. There’s a long list of Western style disciplines as well, most of which are actually based on the practical skills which all cowboys and ranch hands had to have in order to earn a living. Just because these skills were necessary didn’t mean that people couldn’t have fun doing them or developing them- competition is part of the human condition and has been so since the dawn of time. A sport is something which is done for fun as well as for other reasons- and the people at YA need to recognize that.
