THE AMAROO MISSION

We believe that when people experience a beautiful and supportive space, they feel safe enough to breathe – and supported enough to have the courage to explore and grow.

Amaroo is a space for people to have authentic connections with horses, nature, themselves, and others. We invite people an opportunity to be present and curious. We draw on evidence-based research to connect with the wisdom of horses, and the power of experience and exploration, to create meaningful change.

  • What a fabulous place. Wonderful staff, who are warm and welcoming. My daughters have started a course and felt very relaxed with huge smiles on their faces afterwards. Services and information are clearly communicated, making the process so easy.

    -Silvia

  • Amaroo Equine therapy was a transformative experience for my daughter. The staff are incredibly skilled and compassionate. The horses seem beautifully cared for and respected as is the land that the facility works on.

    -Anna

  • Can’t recommend this place enough! Not only is it situated in one of the most beautiful parts of the world nestled amongst the Megalong valley, but the ability of the staff members to allow oneself to be truly authentic in a completely non judgmental way is nothing short of amazing!

    -Trina

  • An incredible environment for learning equine skills. Amaroo has a nurturing and dedicated team who work consistently and calmly with my child to help achieve her goals and gain confidence. A brilliant program.
