The Dalson park story
Dalson Park is Brisbane’s premier riding school, close to Brisbane, 
Logan, and the Gold Coast. With quality coaches and educated 
horses teaching all levels to ride correctly and safety from the 
beginning, Dalson Park is the “go to” destination to learn to ride or 
hone your riding skills. Many adults who learned to ride as children 
at Dalson Park, now bring their family to learn to ride here too. If 
quality is what you are after, this is the riding school for you and 
your family.
Dalson Park coaches collectively have over 120′ years riding and 
equine experience. Dalson Park is the longest running riding school 
in Brisbane and has been operating as a riding school for over 38 
years. Todd and Robyn bought the centre in 2000.alson Park 
Horse Riding Facilities
OUR RIDER FACILITIES
Dalson Park is situated on 7 1/2 acres of land within easy 
reach of Brisbane, Logan, and the Gold Coast.
Our horse riding facilities include a both indoor and outdoor 
arena which means our lessons run rain, hail, or shine. Our 
indoor arena allows lessons to run no matter the weather 
and has a Soiltex surface to provide our horses and riders 
with the safest possible riding. Our outdoor arena is a full 
size Olympic arena. Both our arenas are irrigated to reduce 
dust, as well as to provide a pleasant riding experience for 
our Horse Riding Lessons. We also undertake daily 
grading to provide safe and solid footing.

NEWS
If you’re researching horse riding in Brisbane or the Gold Coast, you’ll know you 
have choices. But you may wonder why you’d go for a particular equestrian 
centre in Brisbane over another seemingly similar Gold Coast equestrian centre. 
Well, it’s about separating an ordinary centre from a good centre. And then, 
knowing what lifts a great centre above them all.
