The Australian Horse Riding Centres (AHRC) is a national organisation representing approximately 100 horse riding centres across Australia. It works to raise standards throughout the sector by promoting accredited centres committed to professional facilities, quality instruction, horse welfare, rider supervision and safety. AHRC helps the public find riding opportunities and qualified instruction, with information about member centres offering trail rides, riding lessons, treks and accommodation, holiday and day camps, pony camps, and agistment.

Its accreditation framework supports safe, responsible operations, including attention to emergency procedures, first aid, and the welfare of both riders and horses. AHRC also provides training pathways for two instructor qualifications: Recreational Coach and Trail Ride Leader. These qualifications can be undertaken only through an accredited riding centre, and the organisation lists accredited instructors and shares information about its training options.

By connecting riders with accredited providers and encouraging consistent professional practices, AHRC aims to help people access horse riding experiences with greater confidence in the quality and safety of the centres they choose
