EQWINE ESCAPES

EQWINE ESCAPES Multi day horse riding escapes combining beautiful horses, exceptional food & top wines.

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!

As the sun sets on a spectacular 2025, my heart is so full. This year has been a journey of breathtaking views and even more breathtaking moments. It’s time to look back and say a massive thank you to everyone who made this year our best one yet! 🌅🐴

Running a horse trekking business is a true team effort, and we have so many people to be grateful for:

✨ To Our Guests
Thank you for choosing to ride with us! Whether you were a first-timer or a seasoned regular, sharing the trails with you has been a joy. Your smiles, stories, and love for horsey adventures are what keep us going.

🧡 To Bernie, & My Parents
The dream doesn't work without the team. Bernie, thank you for your tireless dedication and for being by my side through every kilometre. To my Parents, thank you for being my rock and for the endless support that keeps this business thriving. I am so lucky to have you both.

🐴 To Our Incredible Horses
The true heartbeat of this business. Thank you to our four-legged partners for your strength, your intuition, and your gentle spirits. You are the teachers, the guides, and the magic behind every ride and they deserve the biggest carrots and the longest rest this summer 🥕🍎

​🤝 To Regal Riding School
​A huge thank you to Regal Riding School for our wonderful partnership this year. Working together to foster a love for beach riding has been a highlight of 2025, and we are so grateful for the collaboration and shared passion for equine excellence!

​🌿 Looking Forward to 2026
​As we look toward the new year, our mission goes deeper than just "trekking."

In 2026, we are most looking forward to:
⛓️‍💥 ​Creating Deeper Connections: Building community between riders, nature, and the spirit of the trail.
🤍 ​Falling in Love: Watching that spark when a guest truly connects and falls in love with their horse.
🕊 ​Alignment & Peace: Witnessing those powerful moments where the rhythm of the horse helps people align with their true selves.
🎁 ​The Gift of Horses: Continuing to share the profound healing, strength, and joy that only a horse can give.

​Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to see you back in the saddle for another year of transformation and trails! 🐴✨

From myself, Bernie, Lenny, Lorraine, and our amazing little herd — wishing all our amazing guests and followers a wonderful Christmas!

​We are so grateful to share the trails with you. We owe so much to our horses for carrying us, allowing us to connect with them, and giving us such incredible thrills.

​As I reflect on this past year, it has truly been a season of connection. It’s been beautiful to witness my guests connecting not only to the horses and nature, but back to themselves. So many have been ignited to continue that journey of discovery through two ears.

​They say the best trails always lead us back to where we belong. After a long season of watching the horizon and keeping the gate ready, I know that some journeys are simply worth the wait 🔮🪃🗝⛓️‍💥

​Merry Christmas to everyone, and may your journey always lead you to where you are loved.

Our last 5-day ride brought together the most beautiful group of guests—inside and out. Endless laughs echoing through the trails, heartfelt moments shared around the table, and delicious canters that turned into unforgettable memories.

Thank you for making this finale so special. Until next season… 🤠❤️

'An incredible week in Shoalhaven with the wonderful guide and host Tiff, and my gorgeous horse for the period, Apache. For all the horsey people out there… this is a trip that you won’t forget! 🐎❤️ Tiff is an Australian pioneer of ‘bit-less’ riding… a much more gentle and humane way to treat these beautiful animals ✨'

🐒 Cheeky Business at the Cellar Door! 🥂🍪

We had a couple of uninvited (but adorable!) guests causing some mischief at the cellar door! Meet Buckley and Tucker, our two most discerning (and dare we say, demanding) little visitors.

They've made it clear they're here for the full experience. The debate raging between them was whether to try and sneak a wine tasting (Buckley loves a good white!) or stage a daring raid for one of our delicious homemade oat biscuits!

Buckley's Strategy: He's giving our guests his most persuasive, puppy dog stare, clearly hoping this will magically produce a flight of Pinot Gris and perhaps a cheese plate. (He's the aspiring sommelier of the duo.)

Tucker's Strategy: He's more pragmatic. He's already circling the biscuit jar, doing a complex calculation on the trajectory needed for a perfect grab-and-run maneuver. (He's strictly here for the carbs. Have you seen that belly?!)

Note to Self: Hide the corkscrew and secure the snack cabinet! These two are a formidable team when snacks are involved.

Come visit these cheeky two monkeys; 2027 dates have just been released 🐴🥂 See website for dates

Sweet Simba, the horse who truly believes he's a giant, four-legged, hay-munching Labrador Retriever!

It's pure, innocent, golden-retriever-level curiosity, just supersized and with hooves. Every new object is an exciting, mouth-exploring adventure!

Prosecco! 🥂

Hooves in the sand and hearts full.

We had an absolute blast hosting a group of four friends on the Shoalhaven ride. There is nothing better than sharing the saddle with your best mates.

​We took them on the ultimate triple-threat tour:
🌿 Exploring the quiet winding bush trails.

💦 Splashing through the Shoalhaven River.

🌊 Feeling the wind in our hair on the beach.

​The smiles said it all. Thanks for riding with us, legends!

Six Years of "Eqwine" Bliss! 🥂🐴

​We just had the absolute pleasure of hosting these two incredible women for their annual "eqwine escape," and can you believe it, this marks their SIXTH year coming to visit us!

​Every single year, without fail, we manage to recreate this exact photo during their river ride. It's become such a cherished tradition, a perfect snapshot of friendship, fun, and the unique joy of swimming with horses.

Their laughter echoing across the water is one of our favorite sounds.

​Thank you for choosing us year after year, ladies! It's guests (who've become great friends) like you that make what we do so rewarding. Here's to many more years and many more identical, perfect photos!

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.
