  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to do…

Pony Clubs and Horseriding

Sometimes it feels like kids are hard-wired to put a pony on their wish-list at some point during their childhood. Pony clubs and horseriding are almost a rite of passage for country kids, but your Brisbane Kids don’t need to miss out because they live in a city.

In a time of great urban development, there are still pony clubs and horseriding school dotted around the Brisbane suburbs and outskirts. It is often a surprise to find large paddocks with jumping paraphernalia right in the middle of suburban hustle and bustle. These pony clubs offer instruction on horse care and riding for members as well as hold club days and participate in external events. Some also offer the option of agistment for your horse. (You can leave your horse at the pony club grounds).

Owning a horse and learning to ride can instil a sense of responsibility and achievement in your child. Many children end up developing a lifetime love of horses.

If horse ownership isn’t for you, but your Brisbane Kid is still keen to learn, there are plenty of horse-riding schools around Brisbane that provide a horse to learn on. These schools teach you everything you need to know about caring for a horse, and how to ride one! You can choose from one-on-one lessons, holiday camps, or even hold your birthday party there.

We’ve put together a great list of pony clubs and horseriding schools in Brisbane below.
