I found the owner very rude and quite bullying to me (an adult) and the poor little kids. I don't feel that insulting people is a very good way to motivate learning.
That said, we had a different instructor who was lovely, patient and kind. I wish i had stood up to the owner and defended the two kids left crying but i too felt intimidated. I will send them some feedback, but if you send your kids there I suggest staying to watch so you know how they are treated, especially since its quite expensive.

I booked Kowhai from my base in Asia, based on the reviews and the positive responses of the owner, Chris. All communications were prompt and clear and Chris arrived in Christchurch at the motel spot on time. We had a pleasant chat in the car on the way to Kowhai and marveled at the scenery -it really is a in a stunning location.
After arrival, we were shown our rooms. It was, as had been explained, basic accommodation. And it is basic so if you want luxury then I suggest you stay off site. We had no qualms with that, although I suspect others may object to the bathroom being a a walk away, especially on cold nights. Anyway, we dumped our luggage and had a cup of tea before heading off to lasso our horses.
The next few days were simply marvelous for beginner riders like us. On the first and third days, Chris's wife, Becci was our coach and she was very patient and calm which was great. The second day we had an equally lovely coach. On each occasion, we had a lesson in the arena followed by a beautiful outride. As beginners maybe it is easier to be happy with what we get but I would certainly recommend Kowhai. At lunch and dinner we ate with the family and they were always gracious and accommodating. Food was simple home cooked fare which went down a treat and very welcome after a day's riding.
Is this a super slick, luxury operation - no. They don't pretend to be, so if you want to be pampered and waited on, then this is not for you. If you love horses, are happy to muck in and help out, enjoy caring for your own horse and are prepared to roll with the occasional laissez faire approach, then I am sure you will have a great time. I would be very happy to go back. Thanks again Chris and Becci!

I went as a child to Kowhai Riding School, loved it then and this is now 50 years later and I have just returned from the most awesome riding experience today. We rode out over stunning farmland, meandered through a beautiful river, and had the opportunity to jump some cross country fences along the way. I was given a fabulously trained quiet horse, that looked after me and he never put a foot wrong. We also had many younger riders with us that were having the time of their young lives. The scenery was breath taking, the horses and ponies were perfect and this really should be a bucket list thing to do, even if your riding ability is not not flash as you will be well looked after, as the owners are so knowledgeable and have 50 years of experience, with horses and riders of all levels.I am still buzzing about this experience. Thank you Kowhai Residential Riding School.

I went to Kowhai Riding School from when I was 7 until I was 16. I am now 30 and have since returned with my partners children. Kowhai is fantastic! Knowledgeable instructors, excellent facilities, horses to suit all ages/levels and helpful friendly owners. I highly recommend to anyone interested in riding.

Now as an adult, no longer a teen I feel the need to say yes the female older own is gruff. Yells at children when suits her. Bullying is a reality. be wise parents.

Stumbled across this place on the 'Rankers' site. My husband, daughter and I all have limited riding experience. Lyn gave us riding lessons in the arena before heading our for our trek. She is very experienced and an awesome teacher. We felt very safe all the time and totally enjoyed the experience.

My parents and I went to this school, we have done a little riding but we aren't experienced.
Lyn made us feel comfortable and safe.
After taking us for a quick lesson to gauge our abilities we were taken for a beautiful trail ride.
Lyn easily allow everyone in the group to ride at different skill levels.

Fantastic day
So glad we went.

I spent 3.5 days at Kowhai on a recent trip to New Zealand. I'm an adult beginner rider and often do riding holidays.

I was very impressed with the quality of the horses, the level of instruciton provided and the range of riding facilities available at Kowhai (including a full cross country course!)

I had a number of flatwork & basic dressage lessons, 2 show jumping lessons and one session out on the cross country course. All lessons were tailored to cater to my level of riding and confidence - even when there were other students who were much more advanced riders. I rode Zea for all my lessons - she is a wonderful horse and I couldn't have been happier with the choice of mount.

At Kowhai riders are expected to prepare & care for their own horses - including cleaning tack. I think this is a really valuable part of the experience - I loved being able to care for Zea!

Kowhai is not a fancy equestrian school - it is a working farm - but everything is well organised. I stayed off site, at a motel in Oxford, but was given a room to 'retreat to' in between lessons. The accommodations look quite basic but clean & functional.

It must be heaven for horse-mad kids - but I happily reocmmend this place to adult riders too.

I found the family to be very friendly & welcoming. The staff were all very knowledgable & helpful.

My two girls have recently attended a holiday riding camp. They both had a fantastic time - so much so they want us to move to the South Island so they can be regular riders at Kowhai!
Coming from the city I wanted my girls to experience real country riding - not just lessons in the arena (which they do at home). They did this in spades and learnt so much. They gained confidence and developed great bonds with their ponies. They didn't want to come home!!
I highly recommend Kowhai and my girls will definitely be attending more camps - they may even bring their city friends with them next time.

My 3 daughters have learned so much at Kowhai! They've developed great friendships, great respect for their instructors and a huge amount of knowledge since riding beginning riding here. Having the opportunity to take a break from city life has also been invaluable. No gaming stations, no malls or boredom sitting around home, instead they're have great fun in a true Kiwi environment all the while learning excellent riding skills! :-)
