Choosing a Trail Ride

Out in Sydney's south-west, the Macarthur region's riding is centred on Denham Court, near Leppington and Campbelltown, where Sydney Horse Riding has a 500-acre spread of farm and bush trails. It's the kind of outing that suits a birthday, a family day or a group of friends who want to swap the suburbs for horseback for an hour or two.

Who the Denham Court rides suit:

  • Adults and older kids new to horses – a one-hour walking trail ride for beginners aged 10 and up
  • Confident riders – a longer ride of an hour and a half with trotting and cantering once an assessment is done
  • Young children's birthdays – pony parties with lead rides and a picnic area or party house
  • Older kids' birthdays – a trail ride party for children aged 10 and over
  • Anyone after a memento – photo sessions with the horses, plus staff who will take photos during the ride

Rides start from $105 per person, and larger groups or private rides can be set up ahead of time with the team at 205 Campbelltown Road.

Planning a group day on horseback

  • Split a mixed group – novices can take the walking ride while experienced riders head out on the faster one
  • Book a private ride so the group has the trail to itself
  • Celebrate afterwards in the indoor party house, set up with tables and tableware
  • Add pony grooming or horseshoe painting to keep younger guests busy

Checks to make before the day

  • Riders over 95 kilograms can't be carried
  • Everyone needs long pants and enclosed shoes
  • Approved helmets are supplied and each rider completes a waiver
  • Bookings are made with staff directly so every rider can be matched to the right horse

Common Questions About Group Trail Rides

Where in Macarthur do the trail rides run?

Sydney Horse Riding rides on its own 500-acre property at Denham Court, on Campbelltown Road, close to Leppington and Campbelltown. The trails cross a mix of farmland and bush.

Is a trail ride a good group outing for adults who don't ride?

It can be. The beginner trail ride lasts an hour and stays at a walk throughout, and each rider is put on a horse that suits their height, weight and experience.

What's included when a children's party uses the party house?

The indoor party house comes with tables, tableware, tea and coffee for the adults and juice for the kids. Parties run for about two and a half hours, with helmets fitted and lead rides in the grass arena first.

Are lessons available as well as trail rides?

Yes. Group lessons are offered, along with lead rides for young children and photo sessions with the horses.
