Seminars
Our desire to help people understand and care better for their horses has led to the introduction of seminars with qualified professionals from within the horse industry. These low cost / free of charge sessions are a fantastic way for horse people of all ages to better help their horses. If there is a topic you would like to suggest please email Soo.
With great regret for the horses, we advise we will not be organising any further seminars at the current time. It would seem that local owners/riders do not feel the need to further their education, as demonstrated by a lack of interest to date.

Newsletters
Our monthly newsletters are written for riders and agisters at Ardis and contain informative articles on a variety of horse related matters as well as reports from brave students who have faced the competition world. One rider is chosen each month as Student of the Month as reward for their dedication, determination, improvement or outstanding performance in some way. There is a horse general knowledge quiz section and contributions are encouraged from all riders, agisters and students.
