A beautiful and memorable experience. The carriage was stunning and well cared for, and the driver was courteous, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. Five-star service all the way. The horses were gorgeous and made this experience so much fun. Highly recommend! Also the winery experience 5 stars. Bought wine absolutely delicious. Pokolbin Estate

We spent half a day at Hunter Valley Horse Riding and Adventures and honestly, we can’t wait to go back. Margaret and her team were so kind – they treated us like family from the moment we arrived. We did a 30-minute horse ride, played on the go-karts, fed the ducks, went yabbying, had a tractor ride, and even got to pat the bunnies and kittens. We finished the day with a BBQ pack and cooked lunch ourselves, and the sides were so delicious. It was such a wholesome, fun experience for the kids (and us!), and we’ll definitely be returning on our next trip. We also checked out The Thirsty Horse for breakfast the next morning – highly recommend. The kids ran wild in the kids shed while we actually got to sit and enjoy our coffees. Perfection!

Took my mum and two daughters for our first horse drawn carriage ride. The horses were magnificent, the views incredible and our host/driver Jade was fabulous! So very patient, kind and fun. We enjoyed the chats as much as the ride, so thank you Jade for elevating our experience. Highly recommend!

Myself and my daughter chose the 1 hour trail ride at 11am on a Sunday morning . Was 4 other people in the group . The tour started on time without any delays . Was warm but luckily we had a consistent breeze blowing the entire time on the trail ride . Would have been hot without the breeze . Was about 34 degrees . Horses were very well behaved and the tour guides were friendly and helpful . Would recommend if looking for easy going horse ride .

We had the best time at Hunter Valley horses! We did the private tour with Tom who was so friendly and knowledgeable and kept us entertained for the journey. The horses were so placid and clearly well trained which makes it suitable even for people who have never rode a horse before. We also purchased the general admission to the farm which meant we could go around and feed all of the animals! Overall we had a great time and will definitely be back!
