About
In Wattle Grove, Foxwood Farm Equestrian Centre is a top-notch sports club that offers horse riding lessons, agistment, and various facilities for hire.
Established in 1994 by owners Kevin and Roxanne Balchin, Foxwood Farm Performance Horse Stud initially focused on breeding Cleveland Bay Sporthorses. However, the breeding programme quickly expanded to include German stallions such as Weltmeyer, Wenzel, and Democrat, which resulted in the production of successful dressage horses over the years.
In 1997, the indoor arena and stables were completed, leading to the opening of the agistment centre. The high-quality arena, comparable to any in Australia, has become highly sought after for schools and displays. Renowned equestrian professionals like Clemens Dierks, Andrew McClean, Dominie Morgan, and Christopher Bartle regularly hold clinics at the centre.
In 2003, the riding school at Foxwood Farm was established, providing a safe and enjoyable riding experience for new and experienced riders alike. With qualified instructors, the school offers informative lessons tailored to each rider's level, ensuring progress and enjoyment.
While the riding school often takes priority in the arena, there is still significant demand for the hire of the facilities. Western riders, mini ponies, harness, and dressage lessons are among the clinics regularly held at the centre.
The chief riding instructor at Foxwood Farm Equestrian Centre is Jane Bayliss AHRC NCAS Level 1. Jane has been a part of the centre since 1994 and has gained various certifications in child care, first aid, and horse industry traineeships. In 2003, she obtained her AHRC-NCAS Level One Instructor Certificate.
Foxwood Farm Equestrian Centre offers a safe and friendly environment for both adults and children. The facilities include stables in a barn situation, individual post and rail reticulated paddocks, a hot and cold water wash bay, crush, lockers, rolling yard, round yard, one indoor arena, two outdoor arenas, and bush riding area. Float parking is also available, and two hard feeds and two hay feeds are included with agistment.
With 24-hour care from professional and friendly staff, Foxwood Farm ensures the well-being of all horses. Lessons are available for those interested in honing their skills or learning how to ride.
