Choosing a Trail Ride

Goats, sheep and chickens wander around the yards, and more than 30 horses fill the paddocks: Otford Farm still runs like the working farm it has always been. The family behind it has been taking riders onto its trails since 1961.

What a visit to the farm can include:

A guided trail through the property's forest, creeks and high ground
Pony rides for little ones, with mum, dad or a guardian on the lead
Private lessons, booked by the half hour or the hour
School holiday camps for kids keen to spend more time with the horses
Rides priced from $140 per person

Otford railway station is a short walk from the farm gate, which makes it simple for a group to arrive together without a convoy of cars.

The Rainforest Ride follows the river before climbing into forest, crossing the creek several times
The Mountain Ride spends around two hours on steeper tracks
The Bald Hill Adventure Ride heads up towards the coast for roughly three hours
Accredited guides and instructors take each one out

Getting ready for the ride

Book ahead – it's bookings only, with a minimum of two riders
Wear long pants and closed-in shoes; helmets are handed out at the farm
Check the 100 kg rider weight limit
Allow time for registration before you saddle up
