Set among the low, folded hills outside Perth, the 2 Hour Exclusive Adventure Horse Ride-Out moves deliberately through open farmland and native bush toward Bald Hill Lookout. Riders travel at their own pace with instructor guidance, encountering cattle, sheep, kangaroos and a lively array of birds as the trail opens onto wide vistas toward the Perth CBD.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Bald Hill views and everyday wildlife

The ride climbs through picturesque hills to Bald Hill Lookout, where sweeping views over bush, farmland and the Perth skyline meet frequent sightings of cattle, sheep, kangaroos and birds along the way.

THE GUIDES

Two instructors for a supported, exclusive group

This is an exclusive ride-out for the group you book, with two experienced instructors present to tailor pace and provide guidance so riders of all experience levels feel comfortable.

THE EQUINES

A horse or pony to suit every rider

The operator maintains a wide range of horses and ponies to match different rider sizes and abilities, ensuring a tailor-made, pleasurable experience for beginners as well as more confident riders.

What the day feels like

What the two-hour ride feels like

You meet at the stables, mount after a focused briefing, then follow instructors on a measured walk-only route that climbs into the hills. Stops at lookout points allow time for drinks and photos before returning to the stables for final pats and farewells — an unhurried, instructor-led outing that foregrounds scenery and wildlife rather than speed.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this ride suits — and who should think twice.

1
Beginner & first-time ridersA strong match: no prior riding experience is required and instructors guide pace and basic techniques throughout the ride.
2
Families with older childrenSuitable for children aged 10 and up; the exclusive-group format is family-friendly for older kids but special booking rules apply for younger children.
3
Active sightseersA good fit for travelers who want a relaxed outdoor outing with wildlife and lookout views rather than a fast or strenuous ride.
4
People with medical or pregnancy concernsNot suitable for pregnant riders; the operator treats horse riding as high-risk and will not permit pregnant participants.
