Dandenong Ranges Horse Trail Rides

Love coming here and have been a number of times but since moving have been riding mostly at Arthurs Seat so haven't been for about a year. Trails are lovely, nice horses, staff are ok depending on who takes you and if you want to have a conversation or not and require the customer service thing. Paul's great and a couple of the girls are good. As it's fairly slow to start with on the 2 hour ride it is good to have a chat to staff as I usually go by myself. I did go out once with a young boy who had absolutely no conversational skills so it was extremely boring as I think I was the only one on the 2 hour ride. Minor criticism. Have to agree with Mike - the toilet facilities are pretty ordinary but I've actually been to worse believe it or not! It was good value before they put their prices up by $20 a couple of years ago and now I guess it's still pretty low if you compare to beach rides but on a par with most other places. I'm not blaming them - horses are expensive and so is insurance! Ride does vary depending on what type of riders are there. The 2 hour ride is meant to be for experienced only but I've been and had complete beginners on it so have hardly cantered at all but other times have had lots of canters. Really do like it here and will be back as soon as I can to ride Clancy! Very quiet little horse but he will move if you want him to and just love that solid little neck in front of me!

I’ve been riding for years and I have never had a worse experience then when I rode here, the horse I was on was attacking other horses and taking off with me all the instructors did was tell me to show him who’s boss. The horse was so bad I had to get off halfway through and walk back.

Beautiful horses that are very well cared for and the ride through the Dandenongs is lovely & peaceful. Highly recommend.

The place is far from city life. In the middle of forset, mountain, nature. A must experience place to visit. They have fixed time.Horses are trained, also can request for better one (we came to know later). We had 1 hr / $70.I got Voly who loved grass so they said be bossy to him. I don't know if I did well or not. Still first time experience fun.Helper are kind, sweet lovely, Btw still waiting for their video upload. Hope get it soon.PS: 1)Have cash.2) May hurt next day in lower body 3) wear jeans n shoes 4) if rainy get coats 5) No washroom.

Great day, awesome horses and perfect guides, couldn't have asked for a better day

Had a fantastic ride, everyone was very friendly and the horses were beautiful.

Great ride through the Dandenong Ranges for 1 hour ride on Sunday afternoon. They cater for all levels of riding experience. The horses are well looked after. You can do longer ride with more experienced riders where you can do more. Highly recommend.

I took my 12 year old daughter for her first ever horse ride today and we had a fantastic time.Ross spent a lot of time with my daughter reassuring, helping her and making sure she was comfortable and happy which was so nice.The whole team were lovely and the horses are gentle and calm.Highly recommend for those looking to start out and I'll be bringing my daughter back for sure.Thank you!

$60 for an hour, easy access plenty of parking. Min 12 years old. The only thing I rate it at 4 instead of 5 is the ride was slow, my DD got paid up with some first timers which squirm at any movement so the ride kept stopping every few minutes. Would have been ok i they let my DD do 2 hours of riding but they only allow her to do one hour ago she spent one third of the time holding her horse still. Only got to trot about 5 minutes all up. The rest of the time just either slow walk or stop. You have to go with the pick of luck who you are stuck with on the day. Sort of a pot luck thing and my DD really want to be able to canter at least one part of the ride. Also it was not a full hour. They supposed to start at 1:30, they finally left at 1:53 and came back 2:49.The girls are lovely but a bit over kill to have 2 guides with 4 riders. But they are lovely.
