Maju has been a wonderful horseback riding teacher for our kids ages 8 and 11. For over a year she has not only taught our kids how to ride but helped them develop a safe and kind relationship with the horse and its environment.

Her lessons are a great combination of riding basics and nature walks. She can teach in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Additional information from Maju, the horse ridding instructor:

Horse riding lessons at Brasília Country Club with us are a fun learning experience for all ages. The classes are individual, while using one of our rental horses.

Starting at age 3, but not limited to only kids, here unexperienced riders can learn about horse riding, horse behavior, riding tack, horse grooming, and learn how to deal with such wonderful animals.

The classes last for about 40 minutes long, and what's taught is the base of horse riding. You'll learn how to control a horse and take it wherever you'd like, different gaits such as walk, trot and canter, how to keep your balance on horseback, and how to trust horse riding. If you wish to, you can also be taught show jumping and/or basic dressage. If trails are more to your liking, Brasília Country Club also has wonderful trails within preserved areas of nature you can explore on horseback.

Our main goal is to teach you how to deal with horses and to enjoy the experience of being around them.

We own two horses that are available for rental (individual or shared). One of them is a very gentle appendix quarter horse perfect for children and beginners, Pepito. He's very patient and perfect for calm classes.

The other horse is an experienced Argentinian saddle bred stallion who needs a more experienced rider who'd be up for a challenge. He's good for showjumping and dressage competitions. The costs for the classes include the maintenance of the horse, which will be split among how many families rents one single horse. Renting the horse means they're available for riding at any time you'd like within the open hours of the stables.

The stables are open from Tuesday to Friday from 8am to 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 12pm.
