β€œWe had such an amazing experience here with Ally as our guide. I was a little nervous having never been around horses before, but all the staff were so kind and took their time to make sure you were comfortable and understood how everything worked. The trail through the valley was beautiful and Ally was very attentive throughout, ensuring that we were having a good experience and that our horses weren’t being too cheeky. My horse Blaire had a very calm energy and loved to cuddle the staff and the other horses. I would definitely recommend this experience to people of all ages and all skill levels!”

β€œHad such a great horse riding experience at Glenworth Valley! Fish Boy (Versace), I love you! Please give him many treats!! I’ll definitely be back for another ride with Fishy boi boi. A big shout-out to Alice and Jayden, our lovely trail guides. They shared so much knowledge about the horses and Glenworth and were incredibly helpful, patient, and understanding throughout the ride. Also, thank you to Shasha for fixing my booking blunder and pairing me with the sweetest Fish in the paddock. Such a wonderful experience β€” I’ll be back soon! Ps. Shout out to Blueberry's shenanigans πŸ€ͺ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

β€œWas super excited to try the Experienced rider trail ride on the weekend and I can honestly say it did not disappoint. My horse 'Dream' was a total dream! A beautiful horse with lovely strides and so eager to please πŸ₯° Our guide Harlow was amazing, our whole group got on really well and I loved that we were finally able to trot and canter and simply enjoy being with the horses out in the bush with riders of the same experience level. Thank you Harlow (and Dream) for an amazing ride, the chats and of course for rescuing my phone! β˜ΊοΈπŸ΄β€
