WOODRIDGE EQUESTRIAN CENTRE (WEC) - <strong>2012</strong><br />
Woodridge has excellent <strong>equestrian</strong> facilities, which include arenas, cross-country track and a lot of space for<br />
out-rides. We cater for beginners, novice and experienced riders in the <strong>equestrian</strong> disciplines.<br />
GROUP TUITION: Maximum of 4 pupils per lesson<br />
School / private horse: R80.00 per 45 minute lesson<br />
PRIVATE TUITION: School / private horse: R130.00 per 45 minute lesson<br />

STABLING (LIVERY): The horses are fed a balanced ration. They go out every day into large, electronicallyfenced<br />
paddocks with grazing, water and shade. Horses are groomed and cared for<br />
by experienced grooms. The stables are large with shavings for bedding. Horses are<br />
shod every 5-6 weeks, if necessary. The farrier and veterinary bills are not included in<br />
the livery fee. All supplements can be fed by WEC but are to be purchased by the<br />
owner of the horse. Poultices, creams, etc. are to be purchased by the owner of the<br />
horse and clearly labelled. Horses are expected to have their own grooming bag.<br />
Pony: R2 000.00 per month Horse: R2 350.00 per month<br />
Please note: one month’s livery is payable before the end of the previous term to<br />
secure a stable. We reserve the right to increase the livery charges should the actual<br />
costs exceed anticipated costs.<br />
LUNGING: Your horse may be exercised for you by a groom. The cost for lunging your horse is<br />
R80.00 for a 30 minute session.<br />
SCHOOLING OF HORSE: By instructor – once per week: R150.00 per 45 minute session<br />
twice per week: R130.00 per 45 minute session<br />
three to five times per week: R110.00 per 45 minute session<br />
TACK ROOM: Private tack may be stored at one’s own risk. It is recommended that tack is<br />
insured.<br />
SHOWS: Our aim is to hold a training show each term.<br />
AWARDS: There will be an informal awards function at the end of the year. Prizes such as<br />
‘Most improved horse-rider of the year’ will be awarded.<br />
RIDING GEAR: According to SANEF, for safety reasons, pupils must ride in correct headgear (cap with<br />
chinstrap joining at 3 points or skull cap). Riding shoes with heels are also<br />
compulsory. Enquiries regarding obtaining gear may be made with Mrs Mitchley on<br />
