“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” - Winston Churchill

Welcome to Hobart Horseplay

Just 25 minutes from the city of Hobart (and 900m from Zoodoo Zoo) sits Jeu de Cheval Hobart Horseplay, the home of the mighty Cheval herd.

As a new and budding tourist attraction and equestrian education facility, Hobart Horseplay offers just about everything one could wish for.

Whether you're looking for that 'horse fix' or simply looking to try something new, our fully endorsed and accredited instructors and trail guides can meet your needs.

As our name suggests, we keep the 'play' in 'horseplay'. Our approach is old-school; we go back to basics and learn using hands-on methods with our gentle and trustworthy horses.

With 31 years experience in an ever-changing field, we can cater for large groups, small groups or one-on-one tuition. We also offer community-based programmes.

Unsure which program may suit you? Contact our team to get some more personalised information, or purchase one of our gift vouchers.

Hobart Horseplay is a Pony Club Accredited Centre and our staff are accredited with Horse Safety Australia.

All staff have a WWVP card and a current first aid certificate.

We carry full Public Liability Insurance.
