In the Macedon Ranges there are beautiful places you can explore by horse back and opportunities to sharpen your equestrian skills.
Riders with horse in tow can enjoy stunning views, beautiful forest, glimpses of local wildlife and a vast network of varied trails in the Wombat State Forest.
For riders without their own ‘legs’, there are businesses in the Macedon Ranges who are ready to give you the riding experience of a lifetime. Set off into the Wombat State Forest on 2, 3, 4 or 6-hour tours, or a romantic ride for two, with Silver Brumby Trail Riding. Find out about the scenic natural trails and campground at Firth Park or join one of the friendly local trail riding clubs, Riddells Creek Trail Horse Riding Club or Kyneton District Trail Riders Club.
A wonderful alternative to riding is a vintage horse-drawn carriage ride with Yesteryear Today Carriages. This unique experience suits everyone from families to couples looking for a romantic adventure, offering a relaxing way to enjoy the countryside and explore quiet country lanes and historic villages.
Looking for an overnight stay with your horse? If so, we have accommodation options with horse-friendly facilities as well.
