The AHRC is a national organisation representing approx. 100 riding centres throughout the States of Australia. Our objective is to promote accredited riding centres who are dedicated in providing the public with professional and safe facilities, qualified coaching, high standard of trained horses and ponies, well maintained equipment and safety gear, and coaching horse riding in a fun, educational and safe manner.

Our members uphold professional standards in their operation by recording safety and horse welfare records, maintenance recording of gear and facilities, emergency and first aid procedures and ethical and honest marketing.

Regular inspections of premises and coaches workshops are held to update operators on Government legislation in the horse industry, O.H.S as well as update coaches skills and first aid certificates.

Assessments of coaches in the workplace are held regularly to assist in coaches qualifications.
