Byalee Stables is a great place to learn how to ride, having one on one lessons has definitely helped me with my riding :-) the teachers are really great and the horses are really nice :-) They are also a great place to send your horse to be trained :-) They have been helping me with training my filly and it has done her a world of good, their training has helped her with her behaviour and her education :-) I would highly recommend Byalee Stables :-) :-)

I was returning to riding as an almost 50year old after having a 25year break after a nasty fall. I had tried a few coaches but not 'clicked' with either the coach or school horses. I was given a Byalee package of 6 lessons for my birthday so I had nothing to loose. I still had my passion for horses and riding but had lost all my confidence and balance. I asked just to go on the lunge for the first lesson to 'get my seat back'. I was met by coach Ann-Marie and a beautiful black Warmblood mare named Molly. Ann-Marie (AM) put me in the saddle and cleverly assessed my riding whilst we just casually walked and chatted on the lunge. AM quickly got to my core beliefs, fears and goals without me even realizing. By the end of the first hour lesson I had let go of my greatest held fear (falling off in the canter) My belief, trust and confidence in AM's ability to control the horse and my fear was rewarded as I happily cantered around in my very first lesson just as I had as a child. Who would have thought a 25 year old paralysing fear could have been overcome in just 30 minutes! I thought it would take 6 months to a year to achieve what we did in the first lesson and now 6 months down the track my goals have been reset higher and achieved so many times. I have now purchased my dream horse from Byalee Stables and couldn't be happier. As my review title says if you want an honest assement, if you want to ride in a safe fun environment and you want to not only reach your goals but exceed them then you can't get better than Byalee. The Byalee website says 'Achieving the dream' what you don't realize is they are not talking about themselves they are talking about their clients ❤️

Fantastic coaches! Ann-Maree and Dimity are able to coach riders of all abilities. It doesn't not matter if you are a nervous beginner or an aspiring Grand Prix rider, they can set up a riding program which helps you in 'Achieving the Dream'

After almost 40 years of not being on a horse I booked for a lesson - that was almost 2 years ago I moved from 1 lesson to 3 a week and then with the assistance of Ann-maree bought my own horse - lessons, instruction and coaching fom Ann-Maree Lourey has been life changing. The support from Ann-Maree and Dimity Lourey makes the experience of being part of Byalee like being part of my 'tribe'. It has been the best decision. The experience and knowledge they have is generously shared and their support is amazing. The way the lessons are delivered is clear and also honest. The atmosphere is fantastic. I can recommend Byalee Stables highly as a returning mature age rider. You are always welcome to stay and watch other lessons and as an agistee I am out there regularly and am often given an impromptu 'masterclass' if I am watching horses being worked. It is a wonderful environment.

Byalee Stables comes highly recommended from a former nervous and unconfident student who under the guidance of the wonderful coaches has grown strength to strength confidence wise.. Byalee has the most professional and experienced coaches that always take the time to show and explain every step clearly whilst maintaining an extremely down to earth and understanding ethic for beginners through to experienced students.. No question or issue is too small or large for Annemaree or Dimity to help you through.. The only regret you'd ever have with Byalee is never giving them a go, the community and happiness of the stables is a true testament to the coaches hard work.. They are truly amazing

I have had lessons at a few centres in different states and I have never felt safer than I have at Byalee. Ann-Maree is a fantastic instructor who has me riding better than ever and tackling my first competitions this year. The horses at Byalee are just amazing. Whatever my issue has been there has been a horse that was suitable to help me learn what I needed to learn, quickly, efficiently and safely. I recommend Byalee to everyone considering having a riding lesson, regardless of their goals. The environment at the stables is just so fantastic, everyone is friendly, helpful and willing to work together.
