Centre based holidays

Centre-based Riding Holidays

A riding holiday based at a centralised accommodation, with horseback rides in different directions each day which can be adapted to differing riding levels and to your wishes. You can unpack and relax, knowing you return to the same place each night and even sit out a day and rest if you prefer. It is an ideal opportunity to share a horseback holiday with your family, as a couple or amongst friends, without wondering whether non-riders will get bored, novice riders will be overly challenged or experienced riders will be frustrated. If you wish your centre-based riding holiday to include another element such as dressage instruction or cattle work then you may wish to browse those sections of our website too, or call us for advice. There is a riding holiday to suit everyone.

    Beautiful place to stay. Would definitly be a place to bring your family in addition to the time at the stable! Great food and accommodation. Rode a few different horses during the stay.

  • Kerewong centre-based ride
    November 2025 Isabella aged 28
    This trip was one of the best weeks of my life. I wanted to take on a challenge and push myself and that was exactly the opportunity I was given. The location and trails are tough, with plenty of canter opportunities and no other people around. The horses are exceptional, have their own characters and are so eager to... Read all

  • Estancia Los Potreros
    November 2025 Ian aged 62
    A wonderful trip, am re booking for next year. The ranch, staff, owner and horses made our stay so so special. Could not fault anything about the trip. Horse choice was extensive. As a total beginner I was put on a suitable horse and was coached during the trip. A few slow gallops in a week. Very happy.
