Choosing a Trail Ride

For a group ride in the Weston Creek & Molonglo district, the listed option is at Stromlo, on Cotter Road: Forest Park Riding School. It suits groups more than solo riders, since the team shapes each booking around who is coming.

Groups the Stromlo school caters for:

Friends riding together, with a mix of beginners and experienced riders in one string.
School groups, with time for a short demonstration or some basic riding theory.
Work conference parties wanting an outdoor activity of about an hour.
Families with children, as kids are welcome on the rides.
Any group of three or more, which pays a deposit when it books.

Rides head around the school's own property or out into Stromlo Forest next door, and prices start from $75 per person.

Weekends offer several ride times each day; weekdays mainly in school holidays or by request.
Give the school early notice for a larger booking so it can prepare enough horses.
Allow a little over an hour on site, since the briefing and mounting sit inside the ride.
Book food elsewhere, as there is no indoor space for eating or cake.

What the district's riding school provides

A ten-minute briefing on safety and basic riding at the start of every ride.
Helmets and boots on loan for every rider, free of charge.
Around thirty horses kept for lessons and rides.
A family business run by Grant and Heather Hughes for over thirty-five years.
