Horse riding holidays in Australia

‘This trip was a bucket list item for me, and it surpassed my wildest dreams! From the knowledgeable and welcoming staff, the delicious food, beautiful scenery and the fabulous, friendly and fun personalities of the amazing Icelandic horses. It was a privilege to share the culture and ride these horses. I can’t wait to go again.’

‘I had an amazing time on the Snowy River Ride. The hospitality was sensational! Jane certainly fed us beautifully, and it was prepared perfectly by Matt; we certainly did not go hungry! I rode Annie; she was super responsive and had a gorgeous, caring nature. I felt connected to her right from the first moment of meeting! The guides were amazing. Jayde is really the most experienced and knowledgeable man from Snowy River—a genuinely caring man! Every day was unique and different! I truly felt on top of the world every day! Go for it! Just book it!’

‘The Snowy River Ride was the ride of my dreams. It was everything I’d hoped for and wanted in the trip, and I would have been so happy if it had gone on for weeks. The guides and everyone involved in making the ride happen were brilliant and accommodating. They were all exceptional and skilled, and everyone was so caring that you felt like family, not just a guest. The food was amazing; I swear I ate more than I’ve ever eaten because it was just too good. And, of course, the most spectacular of all was the horses. My horse (and all of the others) were brilliantly trained. So easy to ride; the smallest movement of a hand or a heel had him doing exactly what you wanted him to do, and the stamina to carry us over the terrain we covered was exceptional. He was the most gentle and willing horse, ridden and on the ground. I highly recommend this ride for anyone who enjoys horses, camping, and adventure. I am definitely planning on doing this ride again one day.’

‘Trail Boss Jade’s depth of knowledge was constantly tested, keeping everyone safe and sound; a rare man’s man, supported by Jane, the supreme organiser, tirelessly one step ahead, making sure everyone was happy, housed, and fed. These two incredible people are supported by very knowledgeable, caring guides leading pack horses throughout the rigorous Alphie and Snowy regions, constantly in touch with all riders, making sure both rider and horse are travelling well. An amazing team, all supporting each other. I rode Tombstone, a 15.3 Palomino; it was an excellent match-up. I couldn’t have been happier, and I’m going to miss him tremendously. This experience will be with me forever. Thank you!’
