Choosing a Trail Ride

Not every outing in this beach region happens on the sand. Halfway between Terrigal and Avoca Beach, The Outlook Riding Academy keeps horses and ponies on a property bordering national park and Avoca Lake, entered through Gate 2 at 256 Scenic Highway. Ducks, guinea fowl and visiting wallabies share the paddocks.

The school teaches every age and level, from complete beginners up, and supplies the horses and helmets. Ways to ride with a group here:

  • One-hour lessons – grooming, tacking up and riding time, From $110 per person
  • Riding together – book a lesson for each person and friends or family ride side by side, each with their own instructor
  • Pony parties – paddock trail rides, arena games, treasure hunts and pony decorating for kids' birthdays
  • Team-builders – tailored packages for corporate and community groups
  • Ride and picnic – a ride paired with a picnic box overlooking the horses, suited to a proposal or anniversary

Compared with the region's beaches, it's a quieter, hands-on way to mark a birthday or bring a team together, with lessons moving between the arena, the paddocks and the rainforest.
