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.
