Equestrian Description

The Northern Farm Equestrian Park is a Managed Open Access Equestrian Recreational Area that caters for all riding disciplines and levels.

The Northern Farm User Group is a Section 21 company that was formed in 2003 to manage the recreational activities on the Northern Farm (Diepsloot Nature Reserve).

We are a non profit company where any excess revenue is used to promote recreational development for all who live in Gauteng. Our mandate ensures that we include community involvement and recreational activity development.

The Northern Farm Equestrian Park (NFEP) is an extension of the current very successful “Managed Open Access” activities of mountain biking, birding, hiking, walking and equestrian. These projects have been extremely successful and will partially fund this new venture – NFEP. In turn NFEP will fund and promote an equestrian development project in the future.

A nominal entrance Equestrian tickets are R60 for a single entry and R600 for a season ticket. The ticket office and farm/park are only open on weekends and public holidays.
