  • One Hour Trail Ride

    60

    Rides leave from our farming property and ride up to the start of a ridge line offering views over the Delatite Valley to Mansfield through to a glimpse of the High Country. We offer some opportunity for trotting. We recommend this ride as suitable for children on their first ride (children under 10 need to be assessed under our little TACKers program before ride) and nervous adults. A great introduction to riding.
