If camping doesn’t appeal to you then this horse riding indulgence package is for you. Ride through the high country alongside mountain rivers, sit back with a delicious picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air, all whilst knowing that you'll be heading back to good food, a hot shower and warm bed!

You'll arrive at the pristine property in the Victorian high country the day prior to your horse ride. Depending on the weather, we'll have dinner outside under the stars, or tucked inside by a wall of glass overlooking the valley.

Your horse riding indulgence package includes 2 nights accommodation, one days horse riding and all meals.

On the day of the ride a continental breakfast is provided. We'll allocate horses (there's a ring yard so you can try your horse out before heading off), saddle up and head off into the adjoining National Park.

There are tracks in all directions so on the day we'll decide which one to take, based on experience levels and weather. Some tracks head up and over nearby mountains offering great views.

It's an area steeped in history of gold mining, cattlemen and Aboriginal sites, evidence of all still to be seen.

During summer we can ride alongside the Bundarrah, Mitta Mitta and Cobungra Rivers finding water holes to swim in. Lunch is usually a thick sandwich, followed by delicious home made cake and fresh fruit (alternatively, a vehicle can meet us for a BBQ lunch).

All day rides travel through changing vegetation, past huge rock boulders, narrow bush tracks and open farm lands. There are opportunities for cantering, though much is walking and taking in the scenery. Horses walk in on a loose rein on the home stretch. If you're an experienced rider and wish to break away from the group, you will be able to do this at intervals. And if you're riding with a friend who is less experienced, it may be possible for you to take them with you.

There's a lot of space to wander off and be alone after the ride or join in on the deck and be social. We may have the camp fire going, where you can rest, enjoying home made appetizers with a beverage.

Your accommodation is either twin share, single or double, with linen and towels supplied. Large deck space ensures that amazing views and a sparkling night sky can be enjoyed.
