5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had such a wonderful experience at Arthur Seat Trail Rides over the weekend! My son, daughter, and loved every moment. The horses were incredibly well-trained, calm, and perfectly suited to each of us, making the ride both enjoyable and safe. What made the day even more special was the time we spent connecting with the horses beforehand. It was such a lovely touch to get to know them and feel comfortable before riding. A big thank you to Robyn and the girls for their supportive approach. Robyn is so knowledgeable on horses! I highly recommend Arthur Seat Trail Rides for a fun and memorable family activity!

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children old enough to follow basic riding instruction β€” the educational approach and patient teaching style make it genuinely accessible to complete beginners, including young riders. Robyn's hands-on method distinguishes it from standard lead-ride operations.

β€œMy family and I had an amazing experience, could not recommend more, especially my 6 years old one, Robyn is such a wonderful person, encouraging and patient. Not like any horse riding place where they’d just simply put you on the horse and leave you to it, no teaching no educating but Robyn actually was on eyes of all of us and teaching while we where riding. I’d definitely be back and recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you Robyn for a lovely day and I’ll see you again for sure.”

β€œI had the most incredible and special experience at Arthurs Seat Trial rides. Robyn was a super friendly and knowledgable teacher, and I felt very safe with her and her wonderfully trained horses. I was given Harley to ride and had an unforgettable experience completing a 2 hour trail ride through lovely terrain and views. I highly recommend visiting and will always remember the experience! Thank you :)”

Overview

Run by Robyn, who teaches equine behaviour before mounting and conducts join-up exercises with each horse, Arthurs Seat Trail Rides takes groups through the Peninsula's bush and vineyard landscape. Horses are selected to match each rider's experience level. Two-hour trail rides are available. The approach focuses on education alongside the ride itself β€” guests leave with an understanding of the horses, not just a tick on an activity list.
