National Park open for recreation!

Just wanted to re-assure our guests that the bushfires have posed no threat to our riding schedule. We've now received good local rain and the countryside is fresh and revitalised and we currently have fantastic conditions for riding! However, our thoughts and best wishes do go out to those who have suffered losses in the recent bushfires in Vic and Tas.

Spring just around the corner!!!

Only a few weeks now till we're back in the saddle again for the new season! The weekend treks we've scheduled for the start of the season are proving popular! (& we are only accepting limited numbers so please book early to avoid disappointment) The Snowy Region has experienced good rain/snowfalls over winter and Spring is just around the corner! The stars of the show (the horses) are in very good order (with most of them being rugged over winter) albeit with some winter hair still to shed! We're expecting a phenomenal wildflower season in the National Park, with November thru till January generally the best time for flower lovers! We're looking forward to the start of the trekking season once again and look forward to seeing you all soon!!! Peter & the staff!
