The kind of ride dreams are made of. Feel like you are riding through a fairytale with this 3 hour adventure. Suitable for confident beginners through to advanced. Must have ridden at least 31 times before and be comfortable at the canter. 

Stopping midway through for a relaxing break and picnic lunch (or second breakfast!). Graze with your horse on the riverside! Please note that lunches are an extra charge and can be selected through the booking process, you are also welcome to bring your own lunches (please pack your lunches in such a way that they can easily slide into the saddlebags and not leak onto your horse). Please list any dietary restrictions or allergies if booking lunches through us. 

 You'll get the best of both worlds, as this ride covers landscape from two different river systems, the Dart River and the Rees River. Both stunning braided rivers that are have their own unique qualities. 

*This ride is walking, trotting and cantering. Cantering is not guaranteed. The Guides will decide on the most suitable pace for the group that they have on the day. 

River crossings are subject to weather conditions and may not be possible on certain days of the year.

Our horses are not machines, and they have been trained with particular cues and communication. We don’t kick or yank our horses and you’ll be asked to use the methods that they are familiar with when you ride with us.

Our rider weight limit is 105kg, allowances for riders outside of this weight limit may be granted for experienced riders or for shorter rides, depending on the riders’ weight. Any allowances made by Lighthorse must be granted in writing and will be checked on the day. 

We have different sized horses for different sized people. But at the end of the day, horse riding is still an athletic activity and you need to be able to get on and get off safely without hurting yourself or the horse. Please be honest about your weight and ability as there will be no refunds if you’re turned away from your ride because inaccurate information was provided. If in doubt (call us) to discuss your needs prior to booking.
