Who We Are
We're a small family-owned stable nestled between Port Macquarie and Wauchope on the beautiful Mid North Coast
We love horses and between us, we have years of experience in handling and riding them. We are so excited to offer this riding experience to you, and we enjoy watching as you connect with our gentle team of horses. If you haven’t already guessed it, horses are our true passion and we want you to feel that same pleasure we do when you spend time with them. ‘Can’t wait to get you in the saddle.’
Chrissy
Chrissy’s passion for horses started very early in her life. She grew up in the Snowy Mountain country where she learned to ride and break in Brumbys. She oozes enthusiasm, and with it, she brings an energy to the group and encourages you to feel anchored in the moment, and relax into the experience of what horse riding has to offer. She is your host and guide and brings with her knowledge of the area only a local could know about.
Courtney
Courtney had been riding horses for over twelve years. Her passion started as her eleventh birthday when she was given a horse riding experience as a present from her dad. Since then she has joined the Hastings River Horse Riding stables so she can mingle with her besties, the horses - or colleagues as she calls them! Courtney is a seasoned head guide and will ensure you have a safe and memorable experience.
Quizzy
Leader of the pack, AKA Quiz, Quizzles or Big Fella. A guide horse for over a decade and he knows his job by the back of his hoof. Loveable boofhead and a gentle giant. He is focused, protective of his mob and his riders, and we couldn’t be without him. If the other horses are dawdling at the rear, he will stop, and wait for them.
Phoenix
AKA P-man, Phoeny, Munchkin. Our little half tonne of fun! He takes the little bums. He’ll grow up to be a leader one day. He is the sweetest horse on the track and loves attention and cuddles. He is gentle and caring, the kids will love him.
Honey
Full sister of Holly. AKA Hon, Honey Bun, Bossy Boots. She is beautiful and she knows it. She is a hard worker, dependable and committed to taking care of her rider. A good listener and a quick learner. She is the bossy big sister and like human sisters, she and Honey do have the odd squabble!
Holly
Full sister of Honey. AKA Hols, Sassy Pants, Garbage Guts. A soft gentle sweetheart committed to caring for her rider. Occasionally rides with her eyes closed and loves her food. No fuss and likes to sit down to relax in the stable between rides. She is a Christmas Day foal hence her name.
Dundee
AKA Spotty Bot, Freckle Pants, Dundiddle-dee-dundiddle-doo. The governor general of the mob, keeping everyone in check, but underneath a very soft and gentle fellow! He loves his rider to sing his signature song to him along the ride! Quick on his feet and he ensures the horses in front avoid plodding!
Logo
AKA Logy-Bear. The gentle giant! The biggest boy in the pack and the most gentle! Logo doesnt skip a beat as he multitasks, taking customers and guiding the pack when Quizzy needs a rest. He loves a cuddle and will schmooze with you after the ride.
Joker
Nothing to joke about here! Very serious in nature yet extremely kind and gentle. Not quite the smallest in the mob he is 100% dedicated to safely trekking his rider. He loves a pat after the ride but not until he ensures all tasks have been adequately completed!
Mr Fox
AKA Little Fox! Pint sized fun and all cheek. Mr Fox caters for our little riders! He is soft and gentle and absolutely loves attention! In-fact if he's not getting enough attention he will promptly let you know with a nibble or nudge!
Winston
AKA Winny. He is the newest recruit to the team and settling in wonderfully. A gentle and caring boy, Winston is learning the ropes to step up to a guide horse! He is very quiet and safe and nothing much phases him which makes him a great to contender to help lead the mob when Quizzy needs a rest.
Matthew
AKA Matty-Mat. The friendly paddock ornament who is the Grandpooba to the little horses and highly respected by the rest of the mob. But he is a softy at heart and loves cuddles and carrots. Matthew is a rescue horse and great for the kids to pet and build their confidence around horses without the ride. Occasionally you will see Chrissy and Matty set out for a ride and its ALWAYS entertaining!
