Welcome
Ardis Equestrian Centre is a small, friendly riding school and agistment centre set on 6½ acres in Duffys Forest, on Sydney’s northern beaches. Our tranquil bush surrounds enhance our relaxed yet professional team environment.
Opened in 2004 by Soo Broster, Ardis takes pride in offering top quality, personalised tuition and agistment where neither students nor horses become ‘one of the many’. Within our family atmosphere, we cater for students of all ages, from those with less experience to those with more.
The Ardis philosophy is that anyone learning to ride should also learn how to handle and behave around horses and both regular lessons, school holiday camps and clinics are targeted at achieving this. We have a certificate based reward system where students can progress their learning at their own pace, building their knowledge block by block, achieving as they go.
All horses at Ardis are respected and their individual needs provided for. Soo’s primary concern is for the welfare of the horses in her care. She believes happy horses are the path to success.
We are endebted to Rachel Smith of Furdography & Kay Coates who between them have supplied most photos on this website. THANK YOU ladies.
