Coquitlam Equestrian Centre WELCOMES YOU

Welcome

We’re a family-run, kids-focused riding program in Port Coquitlam where fun, safety, and a deep love for horses come first. Whether it's through Pro-D Day camps, birthday parties, summer adventures, or year-round lessons in riding and vaulting, we create unforgettable experiences for horse-loving kids of all ages.

Our horses live as naturally as possible — outside in large fields with friends, freedom, and forage around the clock. We believe in ethical, respectful horsemanship, carefully managing our lesson horses’ wellbeing with plenty of rest and care. At Coquitlam Equestrian Centre, it's not just about riding — it's about building confidence, connection, and compassion through every hoofbeat.

📍 You’ll find us at 500 Lincoln Ave, Port Coquitlam.

🌾 Why Choose Us (Trust-       Building Section for Parents)
 

• A Family-Centered Approach
  We’re proud to be a family-run facility where every child is welcomed, supported, and encouraged. We offer carefully crafted groups or private lessons to accommodate all development speeds and comfort levels. 

• Horse Safety is Our Priority
  From certified instructors to carefully structured lessons, we make safety second nature for every rider. We use mandatory balance & strength tests to ensure no students are overfaced or underprepared for the faster gaits.

• Ethical, Compassionate Horse Care
  Our lesson horses are part of our family — living outdoors in social groups with 24/7 forage, plenty of rest, and carefully balanced schedules. We truly value our horses enjoying their jobs.

• Building More Than Riders
  We help kids grow in confidence, empathy, coordination, and leadership — with the help of some very special four-legged teachers. Horses can teach problem solving, improve self confidence and teach kids how to listen and communicate without words.
