Mini Adventure Ride
A great introduction to the amazing experience of horse riding. Meet your horse and make sure you’re comfortable before you take an escorted half hour ride through the bush - looking out for native animals, sampling some bush tucker and going for a run (optional!) on the Galloping Track.
See a video of the Adventure here.
Recommended for riders 2 years and up. Available every day but Mondays, $48
Picnic Trail Ride
Ride a scenic escorted 5 km trail through Saddle Camp’s Wilderness Park and stop for a scrumptious picnic morning tea.
When you’re ready - there’s opportunities for jumping and a canter. We’ll be right next to you the whole way to give you tips and make sure you feel safe, and you won’t need to do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing. You’ll hear stories of the area’s history, see wild animals and snack on bush tucker as you ride.

““I would like to thank you for such a great day my kids, Ashley and Phoebe, had when they attended your Horsemanship Day earlier this year. I’ve been meaning to let you know that I thought you were so well organised with your well behaved ponies. My girls had a fantastic day. The ponies were great and so much information was given. My kids learnt so much in one day in a safe and fun environment. You are a credit to your business and I hope you do well with it. ””
“I just wanted to let you know my girls both loved today and haven’t stopped talking about it, already asking when they can go back. So Thank You! ”
“I love horses and it has been my biggest dream to have one. Now, thanks to you I have realised that horses take more work so I don’t bother my mum or dad any more. I am really looking forward to coming back to Saddle Camp”
