“I called this morning asking for a last minute spot after being stuffed around by another trail ride business in the area. I couldn’t recommend Kieran and the team more - they had a horse ready for me to go within 30 minutes and it was a fantastic ride. The scenery is beautiful, the horses are great and we had the opportunity to trot and canter. We were lucky enough to see two Koalas as well! There were a range of riding abilities in the group, from beginner to very experienced and everyone seemed to be paired well with their horses. I hope to be back soon.”

“We had an absolutely wonderful ride at Hepburn lagoon trail rides. The scenery was beautiful, the horses were well looked after and Kieran made sure everyone felt confident and had a good time. Amir was probably the loveliest horse I've had the pleasure to ride and all of the horses had wonderful temperaments. By the end of the ride all of first time riders in our group felt much more confident around horses and everyone enjoyed the day. We will definitely be back.”

“My boyfriend & I had the BEST time (although ngl we are still sore 3 days later 😹). Kieran & his team were super accommodating to every single person there, even though there were total beginners and expert riders. TOTALLY worth the 2 hour drive! Kieran & his horses WILL see us again”

Overview
Hepburn Lagoon Trail Rides runs guided horseback sessions through the open paddocks and rolling landscapes of the Hepburn region. Owner Kieran is specifically praised across reviews for accommodating mixed-ability groups - beginners receive hands-on coaching as experienced riders can push to trot and canter at the rear. Horses are well-matched to riders and described as having distinct personalities. Last-minute bookings have been accommodated. The scenery consistently earns five-star mentions.
