High Country Horse Riding Explorer
10th - 14th April 2021 ex Gelantipy - $1650/person

Get away from it all with a horse riding experience through some stunning and diverse country.  Meeting at Karoonda Park Guesthouse and working Hereford Stud, we stay the first night here and get to know the horses on a ride the next morning before trucking to the bush and wilderness of Native Dog Flat.  Amazing riding and camping locations await, with the spectacular summit of Mt. Cobberas One visited, and a chance to explore some rocky outcrops on foot if desired.  Hearty meals are cooked for you on an open fire.  COVID safe practices are used throughout the trip, in accordance with the current compliance requirements.  Brumbies are highly likely to be seen (and one particular horse on the ride may even be very closely related to some of these!). 

​Minimum age 14 yrs (it may be possible for younger children to attend by negotiation but they need considerable experience). ​
