Multi day horse riding escapes combining beautiful horses, exceptional food & top wines.
(14)

The South Coast of New South Wales is a place where rugged, rocky mountains slope down to serene estuaries, where spring-fed rivers wind their way to the sparkling sea. It’s here amidst all of this natural beauty that some of Australia’s best food and wine is grown and produced. Crowned one of TripAdvisor’s top 10 emerging destinations worldwide, the Shoalhaven region encompasses laid-back country

towns, more award-winning cellar doors and restaurants than you can poke a stick at, a buzzing arts scene, lush farmland, pristine wilderness and sublime beaches. What more could we ask for as Globetrotters than to explore the innumerable wonders of this unique region astride bitless and barefoot Arabians? With just four guests per departure, this five day, four night or three day, two night getaway is truly tailored to suit each rider, with every morning bringing the promise of immersive and unforgettable moments both on and off the horse. From flying down the endless expanse of Seven Mile Beach to indulging in two course lunches with paired wines, we’ve crafted this itinerary to squeeze every drop of Globetrotting goodness out of the South Coast. Your hosts will leave no stone unturned in their quest to show you exactly why they believe the Shoalhaven truly is heaven on earth. By the time you fall into bed in your private room of an evening, your senses will be overwhelmed by the sights, tastes, sounds and sensations of this remarkable place. So if naturally trained horses, gourmet cuisine, picture-perfect beaches, native bushland and more than a few drops of wine is your idea of paradise, the Shoalhaven awaits!

Swap your boots for sneakers once in a while 😉

While Prosecco maintains excellent emotional control during solo rides, I have discovered that walking or trotting side by side in nature significantly enhances our connection.

The advantages of hand walking include fostering deeper connections, establishing trust, boosting confidence in both the horse and rider, developing bravery, encouraging openness to new experiences, enhancing safety during rides, providing traffic training, addressing separation anxiety, and sharing new experiences. Also great for bringing horses back into work slowly before jumping on their backs.

Try it for a month and notice the differences.

If you want your horse to canter, YOU yourself have to canter. Here, Leisa demonstrates this beautifully on Buckles, a horse who needs YOU to canter!
Look at Leisa's smile ❤️

Trust: a fundamental aspect of my interactions with my herd. Rather than explicitly requesting or expecting trust, I strive to build it through consistent actions, offering support during challenging moments, and fostering genuine friendships. This involves actively listening to their concerns and cultivating deep connections. Simultaneously, I continuously self-reflect on my role in the relationship to ensure mutual trust and understanding.

On the weekend, we celebrated the birthday of this adorable little legend 🎉🎊🍏🍞🥕
Shiloh is the epitome of a dream horse, exhibiting exceptional willingness, responsiveness, and forgiveness. His stunning appearance is matched only by his unwavering bravery, akin to that of a lion. He is the ultimate push button pony, making him an effortless ride. Shiloh's remarkable qualities make him the best horse in my paddock.

Mr. dependable, truly, the best horse!

Happy Birthday to all our equine companions and especially the Champagne Hill crew. They graciously allow us into their hearts, permit us to balance on their bodies, and bestow upon us a gift that no other creature can. They illuminate our lives and transform this world into a more beautiful place.

A special mention to Tucker and Phoenix today, as their birth dates remain unknown, we celebrate them today with an abundance of kisses, heartfelt appreciation, carrots, and licorice 💋🎉🎊🙏💎

In hand work. It took me a considerable amount of time to learn how to control my body and mind when doing in hand work.

On our 5 day ride, we begin by learning this dance between yourself and your horse.

It was the ponies first ride back after a 6-week winter break. We decided to keep it chill and just took a leisurely stroll to the local Grow & Gather Swap meet. You won't believe it, but they carried lemons, oranges, and grapefruit all the way from Champagne Hill. And then, on the way back, they helped us bring our booze, chutneys, and fresh produce home. Talk about being helpful little fellas!

It was my great pleasure to unwind and enjoy a ride, tawny, and cheeses with an extraordinary group of riders and horses in my neck of the woods yesterday.

The experience was especially meaningful for me, as it allowed me to truly relax and engage in some exhilarating canters, as well as cherish some beautiful moments with my precious Simba. He, of course, was a dream as usual.

The significance of rolling behavior in horses. Horses that roll in your presence indicate a high level of trust and comfort in your presence. Additionally, it serves as a valuable assessment tool to ascertain their overall physical well-being, particularly their back and legs, by observing if they roll completely over. #horsetrekking #horseridingholidays #horsesandwine #bitlessriding #bitlessridingholiday #lovewhatyoudo #equineholidays #equinelifestyle #bitless #horsesofintagram #horsesatthebeach #horsetherapy #horsesaremylife #horsetrailriding #livetoridelovetotravel #horses #horseadventures #horsesandwinetasting #horseriding🐴 #horseofinsta #horseworld #horsebackriding #horselovers #horsesofinstagram #equine #horselove #horselover #horserider #horses

Horseback Winery & High Tea Rides

Always wanted to ride through a Vineyard and stop for a cheeky wine or take a stroll through a pristine National Park on Horseback?

Well you can do all that as well as enjoy a high tea with Prosecco scones at the top of a breathtaking lookout plus a wine tasting of smooth organic wines from the most adorable boutique winery on the South Coast, NSW.

Our day begins at 10:30am at Champagne Hill where first things first you get to meet our new best friend and take a good whiff of your steed. Take in a few deep breaths, get centred and relish in this moment. A day of fun, connection and awoken senses is upon us.

After we get to know one another a little we head out on trail through quintessential native Australian bush in Bugong National Park. We arrive at a remarkable lookout overlooking the Shoalhaven River and Morton National Park where we are met with a gorgeous High Tea perched ‘high’ atop amazing rock formations. After we embrace the sensation of Chantilly cream upon our top lips we head on down to Lyrebird Ridge Organic Winery & Retreat.
