This horseriding day over Victoria's high country is the adventure day to end them all! See scenery you can't imagine, eat traditional yet gourmet food, and get to know Victoria's friendliest horses. This experience captures the wonderful Australian spirit in one magnificent day!

Prior to your horse ride, your guides will match you to a horse and brief you on the days plan. The day of riding will take you through the Alpine National Park, alongside and through clear rivers and following bush tracks. You will ride up and over rolling mountains and across sprawling farm lands.

A picnic lunch of tasty, thick sandwiches, home made slice or cakes and fresh fruit is taken somewhere scenic. On a hot summers day, it's possible for both you and the horse to go for a swim.

There's a variety of horses, colours, breed and temperament, to suit all standards of riders. Experienced riders who enjoy the bush and 'off road' tracks will find plenty. Those who don't like the bush can enjoy a more open ride. If you are an experienced rider and you wish to break away from the group, you will be able to do this at intervals. And if you are riding with a friend who is less experienced, it might be possible for you to take them along with you.

If a novice rider, it's possible to tailor a ride to suit you with instruction prior to and during the ride.

This experience treats you to a day of fresh country air and spectacular scenery leaving you with memories to be treasured.

Please note: This days ride is in mountain country! Sections of the track are in the open, some along rivers, some through thick bush so as to get to the scenic parts, some of it is steep terrain. Our horses are all at home in this environment so let them step their way as you enjoy the company of other riders,and the country we travel. Please note that the pace of the ride will be taken as to the terrain we ride and standards of riders. If you want to do faster riding, please tell us and we can organise a ride to suit.

    What an AMAZING day!!! Stunning scenery, brilliant hosts, friendly horses and our experience level (or lack thereof!) taken into consideration when choosing horses. HUGE thanks to Helen and Klaus for a truly memorable experience; for their exceptional hospitality and for an all round FUN day. You're right Helen, you definitely have a great "office" to work from. Would definitely love to come back. Thanks again :)

    The day horse riding was awesome. The horse I was riding was well suited to my ability and experience. She was a gem. The weather was perfect for riding, the ride itself challenging and improved my confidence on a horse, the instructor Helen and her helper Adelaide were wondeful hosts and looked after us. All in all 10 out of 10 for a wonderful all round experience.
