Get Your Horsey Fix

​This is not a head to tail pony trek and at random times we move cattle.  

All Year Round

The trails are popular all year around as there is plenty of shade for those hot summer days.  Bring your swimmers and enjoy a dip in the pool when you return to the homestead.​

If You Weigh Over 100kg​

We love our horses and are strict with the weight limit.  We even weigh you in, prior to your ride.  Some guests claim they are under 100kg without their clothes, but as you won't ride naked you still have to be fully clothed for the weigh in!

A Word From Carl and Lyn

YOU ARE IN SAFE HANDS.  
"We are passionate about sharing our skill and knowledge and giving you a safe and enjoyable ride.

There is no shame in the helmet game and we both always wear helmets when we are riding.

As well as years of horse experience mustering cattle via horse back we have also various horse sports under our belts.  Carl enjoyed  eventing and Lyn enjoyed a variety of horse sports like camp- drafting, endurance riding and polocrosse. 

We have also completed numerous Natural Horsemanship Training and Horse Safety schools."
