Wonga Beach Equestrian Centre is a locally owned and operated, family business. Sara Croaker and Jason Knack are both accomplished riders and very passionate about their horses and the stunning region in which they operate.

Sara and Jason have spent most of their life working in the tourism industry and to be able to combine their passion of horses with the opportunity to showcase the beauty of Tropical North Queensland has certainly been a dream come true.

Currently operating a stable of 24 horses, Sara and Jason pride themselves as a "boutique" operator, providing a quality experience with personalised attention and small group numbers.

We cater for the absolute beginner rider to the most experienced competition rider. It is so rewarding to see even the experienced riders who have had an exhilarating canter along the beach, come back with huge smiles on their faces, saying its one of the best things they have ever done.

On the other end of the scale to see first timers, nervous at first, have a little trot along the beach and then vow to take up riding lessons when they get home...to open up a whole new world to people, is truly rewarding.

Competitive equestrians themselves, Sara is currently involved with Western Pleasure, Dressage and Hacking while Jason is involved with Cutting and Campdrafting.
