Meet Vanessa,
the educator behind
the horses.

I started out as a passionate teacher, determined to make learning meaningful, engaging and connected.

Over time, horses became an important part of that journey, opening up new ways to explore learning, connection, confidence, awareness and personal growth.

That journey became Alkira Adina Equestrian, a place where people of all ages can learn, grow and discover what horses have to teach us.

02 / OUR APPROACH

Learning can
look different.

Education, horsemanship and personal development come together to support each learner's individual goals.

Our work is grounded in meaningful experiences that encourage confidence, communication, empathy and personal growth.

03 / BEYOND THE ARENA

Learning doesn't stop
when you leave the arena.

The Academy extends the work beyond the arena, creating opportunities to continue exploring, reflecting, developing skills and deepening understanding through education and connection with horses.

A WIDER INVITATION

For children, families and communities looking to build confidence, connection and wellbeing.

A place to keep learning, keep noticing, and grow alongside horses.
