Beachcroft Equestrian is a horse riding school at 15 Sharon Road in Waitoki, in the Rodney district north of Auckland. It sits in the rolling country that makes up much of the Waitoki area, where riding schools tend to use open paddocks and hilly tracks for lessons and trail rides. Its name and location point to a place built around horses rather than a riding centre in town.
Riding schools in semi-rural places like Waitoki usually serve families and people who want to learn to ride, along with those who already have their own horse and want regular lessons near home. A school here suits people who want a quieter setting away from the traffic and noise of the city, and who are happy to drive out for a session.
Our pick in Waitoki for a relaxed afternoon riding lesson away from the city.
