Centennial Equestrian

Last updated April 2026

Centennial Equestrian in Moore Park is where Sydney kids take their first step into the saddle, with expert-led horse riding lessons tailored just for them. Set against the leafy backdrop of Moore Park’s equestrian grounds, children as young as six learn to groom, lead, and ride under the watchful eyes of experienced instructors. The 30-minute group lessons are designed to build confidence and balance, while private sessions offer focused attention for nervous beginners or keen young riders. With Sydney’s only dedicated equestrian centre offering lessons within the city limits, it’s a rare chance for kids to connect with horses without leaving the suburbs. **What to Bring** Wear long pants and covered shoes—joggers or boots are ideal. Bring a water bottle and a hat for sunny days. A small backpack makes carrying gear easier. Sunscreen is a must in Moore Park’s open spaces. **Best Age Range** Lessons are best for children aged 6 to 16 years. Younger kids can join pony club sessions for ages 5–8. **Good to Know** Bookings are essential—lessons fill quickly during school holidays. Lessons run on weekends and after school. Parking is free in the Moore Park precinct but fills fast on weekends. Casual lessons start from $55 per child. **Nearby** Visit the playground at Sydney Park in Alexandria for a post-ride picnic just 10 minutes away. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive 15 minutes early for the first lesson to meet the horse and instructor. Dress your child in layers—stables can be chilly in winter. Bring a camera—kids love showing off their new skills.
