A friend and I booked a two hour ride at Burnlee Excursions - neither of us had ridden for at least a couple of decades, so were very impressed that we were asked about our experience and then 'fitted' to the right horses. The ride was through bush across part of a 4000 acre property, with stunning views. We were part of a large group, which was split off into groups based on experience / desire to canter and trot, or just walk quietly. The horses were great - not your typical riding school horse, and everyone, from raw beginners to experienced riders, had a great time. Two hours was just enough after a very long break, and we were warned to make sure our legs and ankles were working when we dismounted. There were stops for photos, and the opportunity to have the staff take photos of us when we got back. Highly recommended if you want a different riding experience - we intend to ride regularly from now on - $90 for the two hour ride which is very reasonable.

We (a group of 4) chose the two hour trail ride at Burnelee. From the initial enquiries to meeting the team at Burnelee and then our ride I am full of praise for this business. When I phoned Burnelee to make a reservation I spoke about the varying levels of abilities within our small group and that translated into well matched horses on the day. The place is off the main roads but the directions were clear and easy to follow. The staff were friendly, helpful and very professional. The horses were well cared for and responsive to riders. The trail ride was on the property of Burnelee but provided plenty of challenges to novice riders with slopes, densely wooded areas etc. We broke into two groups at one point so that the more experienced could have a canter. I thoroughly recommend this place.
