RIDE DESCRIPTION

Expect hills -inclines and descents, they are not long. Girths will need to be checked before we head up especially!

Maybe slippery if wet. Some people may choose to get off and walk down especially if wet. Be mindful of giving riders and horses space when moving up and down inclines and descents.

Passing along single hidden trails, walking trails, 4WD tracks, country roads and crossing a major road twice. There are places to trot and canter, this will be group dependant and at discretion of the Trail Boss (not a guarantee to happen).

Views of Mount Macedon and Hanging Rock. Passing grazing properties and life style weekenders on our way round.

Please be mindful of giving fellow riders/ horses space (3m) and remember to turn back and check how your fellow riders are progressing behind you.

***LUNCH will be back at floats, a sausage in bread will be provided literally a “Bunnings Sausage in bread”. You are welcome to bring your OWN lunch if this is preferred due to dietary preferences or taste. Bring a snack to eat on the move if you need to.
