sure.... Scone is the horse capital of the Southern Hemisphere.. it is located in the Hunter Valley about 2 hours drive west from Newcastle in New South Wales..... There is plenty of wealthy people around the area and I'm sure there would be a quality boarding school somewhere. summary: you want a school in Scone.

There is one in NSW that is called NEGS (New England Girls School). It is located just outside of Armidale. The facilities include an all weather indoor arena, a jumping arena, a cross country course, a polo crosse field and stables. The Equestrian Centre offers riding tuition to students from Kindergarten to Year 12, from the basics of learning to ride and care for a horse to a Board Endorsed course in Primary Industries (Agriculture-Horses) for students in Years 11 & 12. Students may board their own horse at NEGS or the Equestrian Centre can provide horses for students to ride.
