Operated by Horse Riding Tasmania · Seven Mile Beach, Tasmania
A short drive from Hobart, 7 Mile Beach stretches along Tasmania’s southeast coast with its expansive sandy beachfront, framed by native scrub and the gentle sweep of the Southern Ocean. Here, Horse Riding Tasmania offers a distinctive way to engage with this rugged coastal environment: an hour-long beach ride guided by Sharon, who brings years of hands-on experience to every trip. The business prides itself on offering accessible and enjoyable riding for all levels, from first-timers to confident riders.
The ride begins with a safety briefing and a brief lesson tailored to your skill level, ensuring a comfortable introduction to horse handling and riding basics. Once mounted, you set off at a pace that suits you—whether you prefer a leisurely walk, a spirited trot, or a thrilling canter along the shoreline. The steady rhythm of footsteps on sand blends with the crashing waves and salt-tinged breeze, crafting a sensory connection to this part of Tasmania few other experiences can match.
7 Mile Beach itself is notable for its long, straight stretch of firm sand backed by coastal dunes and pockets of native vegetation, including banksias and tea trees, that support local birdlife. The marine environment nearby sustains migratory shorebirds and occasionally playful dolphins offshore, making the setting a natural haven.
What sets Horse Riding Tasmania apart is the personal touch of owner and head guide Sharon, who prioritizes rider safety, horse welfare, and an authentic outdoor encounter. Riders leave not only refreshed but with an understanding of horse psychology that deepens appreciation for the animals.
