MS Ride 19th - 26th September Hunter Valley

About the ride:

The event is an 8 day adventure holiday for up to 250 people and their horses. The first day is spent vet checking the horses and setting camp. Participants then ride for three days, have a rest day and then ride for a further 3 days. Each days ride is between 20-30km on fully supported and well marked trails and there is usually also an option for one or two longer rides. The routes are chosen for their scenic attraction and are mainly on private properties not normally open to the public.
