โWhat a great day! I've done trails closer to the city and have never ever been treated this well. We were made to feel warm and welcome from the second we arrived. The horses were all gorgeous and in great condition and one of the team even noticed one of the horses was lame before my partner even mounted. I love that they care so much about their horses. Our guides were absolutely lovely and i had such a great time chatting with them. I was on Dolly and she was gorgeous. It was hubby's first ever horse ride and he was on Cato who looked after him beautifully. I also loved that the team takes photos of you in front of a gorgeous look out as well. These guys are the real deal, genuine and care so passionately for what they do. We did the 2 hour ride so my hubby could decide whether the Craig's hut ride might be something he wants to do. Needless to say, we will ABSOLUTELY be backโ

โMy Wife just did the Craig's hut ride. The team were amazing very supportive, horses were great, good very yummy food. Totally authentic experience and very lucky to meet Bruce with his connection to the man from snowy river movie and deep experience as a cattleman. Highly recommended.โ
