The Rides & Horses

Half Hour Trail Ride

Suitable for beginners, this is a gentle walk through beautiful rainforest trails surrounding Cedar Creek.  A great introduction to riding, especially for children.  Children may be either on a lead rope of have walkers alongside them.  Children must be at least 6 years.

1 Hour Trail Ride

Suitable for beginners to advanced riders.  This ride takes in rainforest trails surrounding Cedar Creek and also bush trails winding higher up the mountain.  Trotting and cantering is permitted for experienced riders at the discretion of the trail leader.  Children may be on a lead rope from a trail leader’s horse.  It is recommended that children be at least 8 years for this ride.

1.5 Hour Trail Ride

Suitable for beginners to advanced riders. The trails on this ride are more challenging, therefore we recommend children be at least 10 years old and willing to ride independently without being on a lead rope. Trotting and cantering is permitted for experienced riders at the discretion of the trail leader.

Pony Rides

For the little ones we have two beautiful Shetland ponies, Oliver and Jellybean who are available for cuddles, photos and lead rides around the lawn.  Children under 6 are also able to ride Oliver and Jellybean, parents are welcome to walk along with them. 

Saddle Club

For children aged 8 to 16 years.   This program encompasses all aspects of caring for and riding horses and ponies.  With an emphasis on safety, children will learn grooming, washing, rugging, tying up, leading and riding, including safe mounting and dismounting.  We will also cover horse nutrition, basic health care, show preparation and floating.  Very educational and loads of fun!

The Horses & Tack

All of the horses are fit, exceptionally well looked after and in very good condition. They vary in breed and type and all are experienced in negotiating the mountain trails.  We will match you with a horse to suit your level of experience and your size.  We use mainly Australian stock saddles, all of which are individually fitted to the horses, comfortable to ride in and well maintained.
