Do I need my own helmet?

Unfortunately, we have a limited number of helmets available for your lesson. If you plan to take regular lessons, it's advisable to consider investing in your own.

What do I wear to my lesson?

We suggest that for your comfort, full-length leggings, jeans, or well-fitted pants like jodhpurs are ideal. Layering with a t-shirt, long-sleeved top, or jacket on top is also recommended for your convenience.

What footwear do I need?

We kindly ask that all attendees wear covered shoes with a small heel or boots, as they are considered essential for the event.

Are there age or weight restrictions?

At Angel House Australia, we cater for children to adults aged 5 to 90! With a maximum weight of 80 kg.

Parking

Angel House Australia offers free onsite parking for parents and carers. Please always ensure to shut the gate behind you upon arrival and when you leave.

Waiting areas

We offer waiting areas for parents and carers - please ask our staff to point them out to you if it is your first time visiting. For your own safety and that of others, no-one is allowed to roam around unattended.

We work with horses, so please do not wait with small children, have them run around or scream as it can scare the horses and other animals. No children are allowed to chase, tease or feed any of our animals.

(There are shops, restaurants, nurseries and parks nearby for parents/carers wanting to wait with siblings.)
