Curricular Riding & Polo
Through our school curricular program, we are proud to manage and coach one of the biggest youth equine programs in Australia.
Proposed curricular programs look to initially engage and teach students the fundamentals riding and horse management . Lessons are planned and managed in accordance with the groups horse experience, riding ability and confidence.
The largest co-educational independent boarding school in Victoria, Australia, alone has up to 45 students partaking in this program weekly. Further incorporating a Polo Camp as part of its extracurricular offering.
How Does It Work ?
Typically a school will have a master in charge of riding or a parent taking on the role. The school will then work with Equi Ventures to devise a program that suits the involved individuals.
The master in charge will inform us of who is attending and we will have all the horses prepared for their arrival. From specified team coaching to one-on-one youth training – success and enjoyment are our goals.

Venture Polo is fully insured and has an assortment of specialised polo ponies to suit the experience, riding ability and confidence of the individual. Certificate of currency provided upon request.
