Two days of riding on mixed trails, back roads, 4WD tracks and single tracks. Interesting history and forest. Lovely creek, with a few crossings. Pub dinners, toilets and showers at Caravan Park. Bring hot tape yards for your horses, and wood for the fire pot.

There will also be an afternoon ride on the Friday for those that arrive early.

We will eat at the pub on Friday and Saturday night. There is usually a band on Saturday night. Please let me know if you do not wish to eat at the pub, as I will be making a booking for all that RSVP to the ride.

You need to expect to pick up every bit of hay and pooh that your horse leaves and set up a yard that is large enough to minimise the impact on the grass. Pooh and hay has to be put on the compost pile at the caravan park.
