Chapman Valley Camping & Horse Rides

08/12/2025

We’re all here for the same reason 😈

08/12/2025

We're super keen to see you all over the Chrissy holidays! Camping is open right through, but horse rides will be closed on public holidays. Book early though as many days are already fully booked during the break!
February is our month of rest - so be sure to scratch that horse riding itch before then!

Five days out here always feels like its own little world. Days full of horses, dusty boots, easy laughs around the fire, sleepy mornings with horses munching nearby, and that nice slow rhythm that only seems to happen once you’re properly away from real life.

Our March 5 day Adult Camp is already half full! 🫣. Don't forget that we offer payment plans, but that you need to get in touch to get the process started (the earlier you book, the smaller each payment is). 🐴✨

Let us nurture your love of horses and teach you everything you need and want to know about these beautiful animals.

FAQ: Can I book a private ride?
A: Yes! We offer a 1:1 ride for those wanting to ride solo, and also private rides for 2+ people. Whilst most opt to bring a friend or loved one and do the private ride as a pair, we have special rates for larger groups (max 6ppl) wanting a private session all to themselves.

We get asked this all of the time! The thing is, whilst we go in with a rough itinerary, we tailor every Adult Camp event to the group of horse lovers in front of us to make sure everyone is getting what they need from the event. We'll go deep on the areas that you're interested in learning about, and skip over what the group is less excited about. When we swing into the saddle, we build each activity to suit everyone's experience. With two guides on every session and never more than six guests, we can split and customize the group as needed. Beginners welcome, experienced riders welcome, and everyone in between! 💚🐴

Why should kids have all the fun? Spend the day amongst like-minded horsey people being fully immersed in the world of owning and riding your very own horse. These camps are a great mix of mounted (e.g trail rides, mounted games, working equitation, cattle mustering) and unmounted educational horse....

Have your own horse? Want to take it somewhere to explore some new trails?
BYO horse to Chapman Valley to explore our 6,000 acres of bush trails - all in your own time. Ride a little, ride a lot, camp for the weekend (camping included), watch the stars come out, and wake up ready to saddle up and hit the trails.

Throwback to our August cattle musters (to remind us all that it's not always THIS HOT! ) 😅
The meals were warm, the fire cosy and the cows extra cheeky! 😂 In winter they often like to hide in the mountains, giving our musterers a bit more of a challenge to find them!
One part of the musters that we're most proud of is just how much hands-on time is included. You get to catch, groom and saddle your horse in the morning, then unsaddle, wash and feed at night. This gives a true bonding experience that simply turning up and mounting a pre-saddled horse can never gift. These photos are from Day 1 of the 3 day cattle muster, which includes lots of extra support to guide you through how to prepare your horse safely and correctly. By day 3, everyone's confidence has grown and are saddling their horses with their eyes closed! (Not literally, Mr Insurance Man if you're reading .... 😝)

FAQ: Are you open midweek?
A: Yes! Sometimes...
Our midweek availability depends on our guide availability - if we have someone rostered on, we will open availability. If you're keen to ride midweek and there's nothing available on the website on your desired day, get in touch and we might be able to help out!
Midweek is quieter, so usually mean smaller groups - and the opportunity to book a 1:1 for solo riders (only offered midweek).
