Boomerang Holiday Ranch
đ Daylesford, VIC
Boomerang Holiday Ranch near Daylesford offers guided trail rides matched to rider experience level, pony experiences for younger children, and on-site farm-stay accommodation.
Arrive early so staff can take time to match horse to rider per level of experience, although they told me most of their riders are first timers. It's a very scenic ride, pretty with the wattle out in Spring. We loved it so much we booked again. Unfortunately our 2nd time booked last Sunday was cancelled due to bad weather. Thankfully they accommodated a very small group that could go on Monday morning. At the end of the trail ride we had the chance for a trot & canter! SO MUCH FUN! THANKS TO THE AWESOME STAFF & HORSES! We will be back for sure.
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking a genuine bush riding experience rather than a confined arena lesson. Horses are well cared for and suited to complete beginners, and the staff split groups by ability mid-ride so no one is held back or left behind. Accommodation on-site makes it a full weekend destination from Melbourne.
