History

The Australia Horse Riding Centres (AHRC) is a national organisation representing approximately 100 horse riding centres across Australia. The objective of the Australian Horse Riding Centres is to support high standards for facilities, instruction, horse welfare supervision and safety.

Additionally, the organisation aims to provide information to the public as to where excellent riding and qualified instruction can be obtained. The AHRC is at the forefront of the push to improve industry standards. All AHRC centres are accredited. The AHRC ensures the standards of its members are maintained through thorough and regular inspection of premises, skill updates for instructors and welfare checks of horses.

The Queensland Branch of the AHRC commenced around 1995 but then ceased to operate around 2006. In 2016, several riding centres in Queensland met to address the current needs of the industry and the Australian Horse Riding Centres Qld was incorporated. (Inc No IA57295)
