About
We will get you started in the round yard and show you the basics of getting on, how to get moving and how to stop your horse. When you feel comfortable we will take you out onto some bush tracks and along the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail keeping a look out for wildlife along the way.
The ride is a relaxed walking pace for any beginners and we can take those who are already comfortable with a trot or canter out for a faster zip along the trail too.
The two hour ride is perfect for the first time riders (10yrs+) through to advanced riders who are keen to get back in the saddle!
