25.01.2022 A COVID safe return to horse riding lessons at Oakwood Riding School. We are absolutely thrilled to share that we can recommence offering horse riding lessons at Oakwood! There are some restrictions that differ from the last time we re-opened so please read the following carefully:... To be eligible to book in a lesson: You must reside or work within a 25km radius of Oakwood Riding School (our office can assist with clarifying this if needed) (if work brings you into the 25km radius you will need to carry your work permit with you) Riders must be able to competently walk, trot and canter off the lunge/independently as our coaches are unable to approach at any point to attach lunging equipment (this is the 1.5m social distancing regulation) All clients will be required to be competent in bridling and adjusting tack on their own (including tightening the girth and adjusting stirrups whilst mounted). (Again this due to your coach abiding by the 1.5m social distancing regulation) Riders need to supply their own riding boots, gloves, whip (if needed) and approved riding helmet as none of these can be borrowed/shared. All of these restrictions do mean that we are unable to book in beginner riders or take on new clients at this stage. However if you have not ridden at Oakwood before and would like to join our waiting list, please email us at [email protected] Lessons are limited to private or semi-private lessons only. No group lessons just yet. We will begin operating from Tuesday the 27th of October and return to our regular open times of Tuesday to Saturday (closed on Sunday and Monday) To our lovely and very patient existing clients, we are currently working away along our list to contact you all about rebooking! We will get to you ASAP :D

19.01.2022 All our coaches at Oakwood Riding School are proudly EA accredited! Read this post to find out why it is so important to have an EA qualified coach to guide you throughout your riding journey - from the very beginning and establishing a solid foundation, to the competitive rider looking to advance and succeed.

16.01.2022 Hi everyone - we understand there is some excitement over changes to restrictions, however we do not have any clarity as to whether or not we can open for lessons. Once we know for a fact we will make a public post on our social media platforms. We politely ask to not be flooded with phone calls, messages and emails. If you are an existing client or on our wait list you will be contacted by our office as soon as absolutely possible when we can offer lessons

16.01.2022 It's with great sorrow that we must advise of the tragic loss of our much loved and valued Oakwood coach Erin Wilson and her beautiful son Bane. On Friday afternoon, Erin and Bane were involved in a car accident that took their lives. The Oakwood Team and Committee of Management send their condolences to Erin's partner and family during this incredibly difficult time.

13.01.2022 WE CAN COACH AGAIN! Thank you EV for all your work and fighting hard for us! We have a waiting list of clients we will contact this week to confirm lessons that will recommence as early as next Tuesday!!! Please allow our phone lines to stay free - we will contact you ASAP

11.01.2022 GROUP LESSONS ARE BACK! Equestrian Victoria have worked incredibly hard to fight for us not only as horse owners but as a riding school also - which means we have the most up to date and clear information on restrictions. EV have announce that the latest restrictions easing means that we can conduct group riding lessons again! ... Other restrictions are still in place and are as follows: You must reside or work within a 25km radius of Oakwood Riding School (our office can assist with clarifying this if needed) (if work brings you into the 25km radius you will need to carry your work permit with you) Riders must be able to competently walk, trot and canter off the lunge/independently as our coaches are unable to approach at any point to attach lunging equipment (this is the 1.5m social distancing regulation) All clients will be required to be competent in bridling and adjusting tack on their own (including tightening the girth and adjusting stirrups whilst mounted). (Again this due to your coach abiding by the 1.5m social distancing regulation) Riders need to supply their own riding boots, gloves, whip (if needed) and approved riding helmet as none of these can be borrowed/shared. All of these restrictions do mean that we are still unable to book in beginner riders or take on new clients at this stage.
