About Equestrian Training & Lessons
Why I Call It Gurgaon’s ‘Best Offline Game’
Not everyone gets what it feels like to be around horses. I built this place so folks could take a breather from the daily madness and actually bond with a horse. It’s not just about riding - it’s about finding your groove, building confidence, and connecting with nature. Yeh game hai, jo online nahi milega (This is a game you won’t find online).
Training Programs for Every Rider
- Never been near a horse? I’ve got horse riding for beginners that’ll get you comfortable in the saddle.
- Want more thrill? My show jumping lessons take you from hopping small hurdles to tackling those big jumps.
- If you’re after that graceful ‘dance’ between horse and rider, dressage training is where we work on moves like leg yielding in a dedicated arena.
- Arena polo coaching is also on offer for anyone wanting a team challenge.
For Kids: Riding Lessons & Camps
Kids aged 6+ get to learn riding, while little ones under 6 can enjoy safe joyrides. I’ve seen kids improve balance and focus, plus they learn responsibility. Summer camps here are packed with riding and cool workshops.
What Makes My Setup Stand Out
- Certified NCC coaches, not random trainers
- Friendly, well-trained horses with real personalities
- 4.5-acre facility with big, lit arenas for evening rides (till 9 PM)
- Safety is top of mind, always
Come Experience It
You can read all you want, par asli maza toh yahan aa ke hi aata hai (but the real fun is only here). Drop by, meet the horses, and see why this is the best offline game in town.

My Story
Namaste Gurgaon! We made CanterWoods for folks who want to chill with horses and just breathe for a bit. City ke shor se door (far from city noise), it’s our little hidden spot. Here, you meet horses like Zorawar and Akira, not just ride them. We’ve got dogs, ducks, rabbits running around too. Kids, pros, families—sab aate hain yahan (everyone comes here). It’s all about finding that soulful connection, with animals and with yourself.
