Hunter Valley Horses
Hunter Valley Horses are located in the Hunter Valley Resort on Hermitage Road, Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley, the same place as the Segway Tours, which makes them easy to find. After filling out a small amount of paperwork and getting a helmet, you meet your horse. The guides teach riding basics and then it is time to venture out.
No one in our group was an experienced rider, which meant we could all go at the same pace. Our horses were all sedate and the riding pace slow. There were two experience guides, who were fantastic and took lots of pictures for us. A more exciting pace can be organised if you contact the guide beforehand.

The ride wound through the local vineyards with magnificent views of the Brokenback Ranges and bush land. The track was generally flat with only two places where we crossed small gullies. The guides explain how to go through these areas, which made for an easy no stress ride.
Riding Through the Bush
Fantastic morning, meeting new people,sight-seeing, riding the horses and enjoying what the Hunter Valley has to offer.
