πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with kids old enough to ride comfortably for a few hours - novices are actively welcomed and guides adapt pace to the group. The half-day ride suits first-timers, and multi-day treks suit families wanting a proper alpine adventure. The scenery and hospitality together make this more than a riding lesson.

β€œAbsolutely amazing weekend at Spring Spur! Lin is one of the kind, the meals he prepared were incredible. The hospitality and staff made you feel like you were part of the family. Haven’t even been gone 24 hours and we already want to go back.”

β€œAn unforgettable 6-day trek (4 on horseback) - called An Alpine Easter Getaway - and by far my most authentically Australian experience so far. The owners are an incredible family who clearly pour their heart and soul into every part of this adventure. You can feel their passion from the very beginning, and the quality of the horse training is exceptional - I felt confident and safe from the very first moment, both around the horses and riding them. The trek is fully self-supported with pack horses carrying everything we needed for camp, food, and comfort. Meals were cooked over the fire, and everything was delicious - with great care taken for dietary requirements when communicated in advance. The landscapes were stunning, but what impressed me the most was the dedication, thoughtfulness, and hard work behind the whole experience. Absolutely recommend!”

β€œAttended Bogong Horseback Adcentages for a half day booking. Originally booked a 2 hour ride but upgraded to half day which was worthwhile. We were all novices but at the end of the ride we all felt so confident. The lead guide, Alley informed the group about the horses and general tips on control.This was repeated during the ride which made everyone feel comfortable. I love animals but wasn't big on horses. After the ride it all changed and it turned out to be one of the best experiences to date. My wife and son are all hooked and we cannot wait to return. Highly recommend. The area and views to the snow capped mountains made it perfect.”
