We went for a 1/2 day afternoon trail ride with Horseshoe Bay Ranch and it was awesome. Once we got to the beach we unsaddled our horse and rode them bare back along the beach and then into the ocean. The horses just loved the water and started swimming while we were riding them. This is an event I would...

It was very fun. And very cheap for the time we were given. The beach part was the best but it was a shame the bush wasn't so pretty. GREAT DAY

This ride goes through spectacular scenery and ends with a chance that is (probably) unique in Oz - the opportunity to try out some bareback riding on the beach and in the ocean itself!
The horses are very quiet and ideal for novice or total newbies to riding. There is a good ratio of guides to riders (usually at least...

This attraction is known as Blueys Horseshoe Ranch and is owned by Bluey and Jay Hyde. They have about 70 horses here who are loved and well cared for, and they will find one that suits your own particular height, weight, size, and experience.

Hello,
I am sure that you had a lovely time in the past at blueys horse ranch. The buisness has now been under new ownership for over three years and many things have changed. We would love to have you back again in the future to enjoy the horses and beach again.
Happy travels

Seriously, this is one of the loveliest, most brilliant and exhilarating experiences you can hope to have on horseback. We rode our horses along the beach, took their saddles off, and set off for the ocean. As they swam in the surf, we sat bareback on them in the warm ocean under the brilliant sunshine. I can't recommend highly enough...

My husband and I had a lovely afternoon with the horses. We were a little concerned he might not be able to reach the stirrups (my husband is very short) but we seemed to have no problem and the staff were very kind and accomodating.

I had heard that you could do a horseback trek through the jungle and down on to the beach. I liked the sound of it and decided to book it up. I have probably only been on a horse about 4 times in my life so didnt know how it would go or what to expect. The girls were great...
