Pack Saddling Clinics
We love pack saddling and trekking – heading out into remote areas of Australian Bush on horseback for self sufficient adventure Is our idea of bliss! We love to share our passion with other people who want to get out in all weathers, stargaze at night, share stories around campfires and forge ever deeper relationships with their horses.
If you want to head out on your own horse back adventure or are thinking of tackling a major trek like the Bicentennial National Trail, our clinics and treks are for you!
