JOIN UP CLINIC
Friday 5th July 2013

Learn how to communicate with a horse in their language!

We will be trail riding from “Riverstone” to “Hallelujah Stud” and back, and viewing a demonstration in Natural Horsemanship.

This demonstration shows how we are able to take the position as the matriarch mare in the natural herd of a horse. Join Up even works with a horse paddocked or stabled alone.

Horses have a very strong flight instinct. It is the matriarch mare the horse looks to for direction and help. In this clinic you will witness a horse submitting to the trainer “at liberty” and joining up with a person. It’s is a technique you can learn to use with almost any horse. Join Up will help you to understand the language of a horse. Join Up will help you to communicate with horses. Join Up is beautiful to watch and truly exciting to experience when you put join up into practice for yourself.

Holiday Camp Adventures!


What a giant adventure we had last week on our school holiday riding camp. Blessed with beautiful, frosty, crisp mornings followed by (mostly!) glorious sunny days, our group of happy, keen kids saddled up and prepared for some action packed days on horseback.


Kids were given their own horse to ride for the duration of the camp, matched to their ability. Each day we packed our lunches and plenty of snacks in our saddle bags, like true roaming jackaroos. The kids enjoyed such a sense of adventure, freedom and responsibility as they learned to care for their horse, each day strengthening the bond,  knowing their needs a little better.  Each rider’s confidence and ability grew with every step and by the end of the camp, the group had become friends with each other and of course, their trusty steeds.


Over the course of three days, we travelled for miles throughout Budgong. We headed up and over Mount Scanzi on Day One, all the way up the Butter Track, a tad chilly up on the ridge, but always a favourite with glorious views down through both Budgong and Kangaroo Valley.  Day 2 saw us clocking up more miles, travelling all the way out to the spectacular lookout rock at Lower Budgong Road and coming home down Abernethy’s Road.  Finally, on Day 3, we headed out towards Tallowa Dam, reaching the ruins trail before happy, but weary riders headed for home.

 After three long days of riding, for at least 5 hours a day, one little girl, when asked if the camp could be improved upon replied, “Longer rides!”  Guess you just can’t get enough!   That’s why we’re so excited about the sleepover camps in September. We can eat, sleep and breathe HORSES!


Email us at info@kangaroovalley.com for more information on future camps for both adults and children.  Find us Riverstone Banks on Facebook to check out more photographs from the camp!
