 The Centre is operated by The Kapiti Vaulting Club Inc. and offers professional, quality riding instruction in a wide range of equestrian disciplines, including beginners through to advanced riders, lunging instruction, vaulting, riding for therapy and special needs, special courses designed for disabled riders, quadrille riding, children’s holiday programmes and birthday parties. 

We have an excellent range of well schooled horses and ponies to learn on. Group and individual lessons available. Private lessons can be booked 6 days a week, lessons are in 45 minute blocks and can be tailored to your requirements,  dressage, jumping, general riding or a mixture to suit. 

The Kapiti Vaulting Club is a non profit incorporated Society registered as a charity. The club receives no funding from the government; which in turn means we must rely to a large extent on the generosity of the community and businesses to ensure that we are able to continue to provide the facilities and services we do. 

Remember anyone who donates to our club does benefit by way of the donation becoming a tax credit against your income.
