Horse Riding Tasmania operates guided horse rides from Seven Mile Beach on Tasmania’s southeast coast. The business runs a variety of beach and bush rides suitable for beginners through experienced riders, including short 1‑hour rides, longer 2.5–3 hour rides, and full 3‑hour bush adventures. Rides take place along 7 Mile Beach, Bluff River Gorge and other nearby trails, with options such as the Taster Rider, multiple beach rides, Bluff River Gorge rides, Lion Rock Ride and Bush Rangers Track.
Sessions include a safety briefing and basic instruction; some rides provide brief lessons before heading out. The riding team includes experienced guides who lead canters and trots on approved sections and match horses to rider ability. Horse sponsorship and rehabilitation experiences are available for visitors who want to support horse care and build a longer-term connection with the animals.
Bookings specify total event allowance times to accommodate arrival, gear-up and return, for example 1‑hour rides usually allow around 2–2.5 hours and longer rides allow up to 4.5 hours. Horse Riding Tasmania emphasizes safety, guided group sizes appropriate to trail conditions, and respect for local coastal and forest environments.
