MORNING OR AFTERNOON TEA RIDE
At Bellrowan Valley you get more than just a ride on a horse. On the one or two hour trail ride, start off being picked up in a 4WD Troop Carrier and driven 3.5kms into the property (an experience in itself!). Each rider receives a riding tuition before the ride heads out, the ride does not leave until every rider is ready and comfortable on their chosen horse. The ride sets out into the valley on undulating terrain through classic Aussie bush and rainforest pockets on the logging trails of years gone by. Sitting on horseback is by far the best way to take in the serenity and beauty of bushland and it?s ever present wildlife.After the ride relax around the camp fire in Bellrowan?s rustic ?Bush Inn? where refreshments and fresh damper is served and you can sit back and take in the fun friendly atmosphere of all the farm animals and peace and quiet of this unique bush hideaway.
Then hear the crack and echo of the stockwhip, as your hosts will give each and everyone a demonstration and lesson on the uniquely Australian stockman?s tool. (Whip Cracking only done on the two hour ride and overnight trek) So come and try what so many others have in this unique part of Australia?s nature wonderland. With one phone call your horse will be saddled and ready for you.
Groups can range in size from just two riders to a maximum of twelve riders (with three guides).
