About the AHRC

The AHRC is a national organization representing approximately one hundred riding centres throughout Australia.

Our objective is to promote accredited riding centres which are dedicated in providing the public with
- Professional and safe facilities
- Qualified instructors
- Safe, well maintained equipment and gear
- Coaching horse riding in a fun, educational and safe manner
-  A high standard of trained horses and ponies 

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.   Our certificates are nationally recognized by the Australian Sports Commission.    

The Victorian branch holds regular meetings to encourage members to participate in discussion on marketing, coaching and training levels, updates within the horse industry, ideas and improvements in operating a horse riding business.
