My friend and I did the two day horse ride staying at the Howqua accommodation. I loved that we had enough time to horse ride, 3 hours on day 1 then 5 hours on day 2. The trail was varied and definitely not boring! They keep the groups small and are very flexible about giving you some options with the... More

It soon becomes very apparent that a lot of effort,... More

I have just come back form the 5 day Man from Snowy River Trail ride experience and LOVED every minute of it. Michael is a natural horseman, wonderful instructor and great host. From the beautiful, sure footed horses which took us on long canters, to the gourmet food provided by Wendy Stoney, our comfortable accomodation and magic scenery, the only... More

I was given the option to lie by a pool somewhere, but chose this 2 day trip, and I am SO glad I did! The High Country is absolutely stunning, and seeing it from horseback was ideal. Our hosts Mike and Sally Watson are so relaxed and friendly, and are both very hands on on the trip, full of stories... More

You cannot go past their country hospitality - you feel so welcome, and their staff who are brilliant at pairing horse and rider whether you have been in the saddle for 30 years or a beginner. Literally every ride... More
