Getting out into nature is one of the best ways to unwind after the stress and smoggy atmosphere of city life, and what better way to do this, than to head out on a Blue Mountains horse riding tour? There are several horse riding establishments in the area, including some in the Shipley Valley, the Megalong Valley, as well as those situated on the road to the Jenolan Caves.
What are the benefits of a horse riding adventure?
Apart from the fact that it is one of the best ways to experience nature, it is also a fantastic way to see the most spectacular views, and also see some of the wild animals in the area at very close range as well. The reason for this is that unlike a person hiking in the bush, you are on top of an animal, and the animals you come across aren’t really aware of your presence, and most times don’t run away when you approach.
Some of the animals that you will see during your Blue Mountains horse riding tour are wombats, wallaroos, kangaroos, wallabies, goannas, and a variety of other lizards too, as well as a variety of bird species of the area, including magnificent eagles effortlessly floating in the sky above you.
Anyone can enjoy a horse riding adventure
These activities are for everyone to enjoy, because the establishments involved have a variety of horses available to suit everyone, from the highly experienced rider, to those who have never ridden a horse before.
What is included in the tour?
On these tours, you will get to experience a genuine Australian lifestyle, meet real Australian bush individuals, sample some really delicious traditional Australian bush food, as well as have the opportunity to try your hand at some of the local bush crafts.
Only small groups of people take part in each of these tours, so with not more than around eleven people in your group, everyone gets the personal attention for the entire tour.
Most of the tours last for about three days, and involve interesting things such as:
• Camping under the stars on night
• Staying in a cabin on another night
• Visiting the towns, farms, and pubs in the area, where you get to meet the local people
• A walk in the beautiful World Heritage Blue Mountains National Park
• Watching the fascinating Australian farm life, including sheep mustering and shearing, dog handling, as well as the exceptional horsemanship of the locals
• A visit to the Abercrombie Caves, as well as exploring the historic artifacts and spectacular natural beauty of the Jamison Valley
Taking part in one of these exciting horse riding tours is the perfect way to unwind and get rid of the stresses of modern city life. Not only will you have memories to last a life time, but you will also feel completely rejuvenated at the end of your Australian bush, experience as well.
