My partner and I had such an amazing horse riding experience here, it was our first time horse riding and Avril the guide made it so smooth and special, she was genuine, well informed and made us feel comfortable and confident. She went above and beyond taking lots of photos and videos for us and was lovely to chat with. Will definitely be back, Josie and Babe (the horses) were so beautiful and placid, very well taken care of by the staff. Amazing experience.
Anyone in search of an authentic experience in Hunter Valley should choose them! We were stuck between a few options but don’t regret picking them at all. We had Kimberley as our guide and she was absolutely a treat! Super kind, funny, and full of personality. We had such a great day and experience with her. The horses were well-looked after, and gorgeous. We recommend her by far! We had the 1 and a half hour experience, and had a great time. Overall, we had a superb time and would come again.
Booking in advance is a must! Depending on the weather you may be blessed to enjoy a beautiful hilltop view! Signed up for the 1hr horseback ride, but given the views can envisage how the sunset ride would be spectacular!
My 10yo and I had a wonderful and memorable 1-hour trail ride during the October school holidays with the lovely Avril. Avril was incredibly friendly, and very patient and gentle with my son. She and the other staff were really helpful in matching us with the right horses and, although we'd both ridden before, no experience was necessary. The scenery during the ride was stunning - we saw lots of kangaroos - and the whole experience was incredibly serene and relaxing. It was such a memorable experience and I highly recommend a ride as a unique and immersive way to see the Hunter Valley.
Amazing experience! Avril was a great guide and helped me feel super comfortable on my first ever ride. She went above and beyond - answering all my questions, taking pictures and sharing them with me after. It's a such beautiful location, I'll definitely be back. High recommend!
