SUSPENDED 24th MAY 2010 DUE TO SUDDEN LOSS OF TWO HORSES.

For the dedicated rider MONA offers a more adventurous horseriding experience...

The ride starts out with a delightful walk through the formal gardens before crossing the creek bed (currently dry) to take your horse for a "test run" on the equestrian arena.

From here we walk, trot or canter up the hill, along the western boundary, following along the walking track. At the top of the hills are wonderful views across the rolling hills east of Braidwood, all the way to Mount Budawang.

The ride then proceeds down a gentle slope to the King's Highway boundary. We follow the fence line and cross the main drive until we reach the forest. Here riders can enjoy a walk, trot / canter around the forest or simply walk through the 800 Leylandii tress and explore.

The home journey skirts around the cattle paddock and down to the Shearer's Huts where we pause for some "rustic" refreshment. The horses know their way home from here, so we keep them at a walk, past the Woolshed and across the MONA bridge.

There are two quarter horses available:

Prince is a 24 years old geilding, (17 hands) who loves a gentle outing.

Atlanta is a beautiful 8 year old Palomino mare (15 hands). Atlanta is a willing participant in everything but puddles!
