My daughter rides at The Stables in Yanchep
http://www.stablesyanchep.com.au/
It can be a bit rough & ready but she loves it there as she & a friend of ours get to go out on hacks alone, they love riding on the beach and through the bush. They quite often see kangaroos on their rides.
There are plenty of other places around too, their's Ron's Ranch in Wanneroo & theexpensive but worth a treat Brookleigh.
Here's another link with a few more

Try this website www.cyberhorse.com.au go to their chat forum (called the meet market!) and post a message on there. There are heaps of friendly people on there that are horsey and come from perth, I'm sure they will point you in the right direction.
Here in North/West Sydney there are loads of horsey places, I have my own horse here now and its great. Insurance isn't such an issue, my stables just insist that everyone that rides there belongs to the EFA (equestrian federation of australia www.efanational.com), being an associate member of this gives you personal accident cover for any horse related activity.
can't help with the dancing!!!

She's goes and helps muck out etc in the hoidays for weeks at a time (9am-5pm) Thought it would put her off, how stupid was I, just makes her love them even more.
She also asked me if The Melbourne Cup was on TV, when I said "Yes", she said "Great that means you'll see me on TV when I'm in it"
' she's still only 6. Why did she have to pick the most expensive hobby known to man??Jill

I like the 'farm smell' too. (not the poo though!)
I think the combination of hay, animals, dirt, grass, food.....
I'm sure there's much more expensive hobbies.... Though, it's defintely not the cheapest either!
Just hope she doesn't want her own horse soon.......

I got a pony once. My parents were smart enough to 'lease' her first!
It was the worst pony anyone could have! I didn't even dare get her out of the paddock myself
I actually got her from the person who was teaching me to ride! We soon gave her back!Soon after a new riding school opened, and I soon built more confidence there(the first lady just led me along, even after heaps of lessons, I couldn't ride on my own, wierd stuff)
Ok, and I guess I wasn't obsessed as your's seems!
I was also quite happy with goats, chooks and a rabbit!
