About Encantador The Riding School

For more than a decade, Encantador Riding School has been one of the most prestigious equestrian facilities in the Newcastle area. We are a family owned and operated riding facility, based in Williamtown. Our friendly and experienced instructors conduct riding lessons for both adults and children. We also offer horse agistment services, and our semi-enclosed arena with lights means riding sessions are available all year round. Quiet school horses for new learners, as well as equines for more advanced riders, can be found at Encantador, and our staff are more than happy to conduct private lessons. Special lessons taught to music are also available at our Port Stephens riding school. Our Port Stephens horse riding instructors will reinforce the best techniques for dressage and recreational riding. The safety of our students is always our first priority and we will ensure you are matched with a horse that best fits your skill level. Pursuing your passion of riding has never been more affordable at Encantador Riding School. Students are able to take advantage of quality teaching that everyone can afford, and our dressage training methods focus on attaining the very best competition results. Walk, trot & canter with style at the Encantador Riding School. We have beautiful paddocks, stables and yards at our location, so you can see why we are the premier riding school in Port Stephens.

I began taking lessons at Encantador in January 2014, after spending years between other riding schools and pony clubs in the Newcastle/Post Stephens area. In my 10 months under Gaylene's instruction I have learned more and progressed further than my previous 4 years training with other instructors. Gaylene is intelligent, funny and has an amazing talent for teaching. She takes the time to communicate with her students and goes above and beyond to ensure her students continue to learn and develop their skills. Quite often, Gaylene intuitively identifies and teaches me to correct problems that I have been completely unaware of, and as a result, my riding ability has advanced much quicker and more thoroughly than it has at any other school. She is incredibly perceptive and relatable, always encouraging safety and bringing interest and humour to each and every one of our lessons. Jess is a beautiful hard working young woman who awes me every time I have the pleasure of seeing her ride. Her friendly dynamic and laidback nature makes Encantador a pleasure to attend. The fellow riders and staff I have met at Encantador are always friendly and smiling, but the horses really steal the show. I have met hundreds of riding school horses in my time as a rider; none have stolen my heart quite like the mounts at Encantador. It was very clear right from the beginning, Gaylene respects and loves each one of her horses, and it truly shows. While catering to riders of all levels, the horses of Encantador are composed, hard working and well looked after. Every experience I have had at Encantador has been far superior to any other riding school I have attended, and the quality of my riding and understanding of the sport has grown to greater levels, more quickly than I could have imagined. I thoroughly look forward to my lessons every week and will continue to do so. I cannot recommend the team at Encantador highly enough.

We've attended several riding schools, and have found everything we are looking for at Encantador. There's nowhere else like it. Bec, 13yrs, has been included from the start. Bec attended her first dressage comp, learned to call dressage tests and is now enjoying riding her own horse. Safety always comes first, the horses are well cared for, it's an inclusive, encouraging environment, with excellent tuition. And it's sooo affordable. We won't be leaving,
