โGreat ride, fabulous horses. Owners try and match you with appropriate horses. Rode in the experienced ride on Sunday morning got to trot and canter amongst the beautiful national park. One of the best rides I've done around Melbourne. Will go again.โ

โFirst time rider and without without realising it, my friend booked for 2 hours which was for riders who had experience. This was daunting but the staff on the ride made it so enjoyable and Liam was extremely encouraging and knowledgeable. I kept asking him questions about how to ride and how the horses behaved/responded to things and he was so reassuring. Had such an amazing afternoon with my friend and my daughter (who had both ridden before). They picked an easy going horse for me, knowing this was my first time. Each horse was picked specifically to the riders history and needs. The track was stunning too! Great experience!โ

โA friend's birthday celebration was marked with a unique and enjoyable horseback riding experience. Participating with a group of friends, we were all first-time riders. The supportive staff offered clear guidance, ensuring our comfort and safety throughout the hour-long ride. Highly recommend.โ
