McCormack's Mountain Valley Trail Rides- Day Tours

Reviewed By PetalMelbourne

Had the most beautiful ride with McCormacks Mountain Valley Trail Ride. The High Country leaves you breathless. We went through streams, trees and bush and saw kangaroos and deer. The horses were obedient and had obviously done this trail so many times - they could walk the trail on their own! Bruce gave a little history of his property, his family and The Man From Snowy River, which I loved. Communication was excellent. They send you a little map. Only 15 minutes on a straight road from Mansfield. Thoroughly enjoyed this ride. Highly recommended.

I've been riding here twice before and this, my most recent was my best ride yet. Such a well maintain stables with very relaxed horses all very well cared for and stunning bush to ride out into. Cameron imparts a wealth of knowledge for all abilities and you are encouraged to get to know your horse and improve your riding skills. As a more experienced horse rider I usually find at many trail riding places I get an unwilling/turned off horse. This is certainly not the case here and Cameron gave me a terrific horse. I'd go every week if I could!

Hidden Trails by Horseback

Reviewed By LizB2903

Hi, I attended a 3 day Craig's Hut and High Country ride, just after Christmas 2020. It was an absolutely superb 3 days. The rides went through many beautiful areas, with the scenery varying greatly. Gorgeous wildflowers, huge tree canopies, fern gullies and clear flowing rivers and creeks. It was Eden-like and breathtaking. The food was amazing, I was a vegetarian and looked after VERY well. The guides and staff were super knowledgeable as well as fun and generous. There was singing around the campfire, and beautiful campsites to stay in. And then there were the horses.. Beautifully cared for horses, mine was a total smooch, he seemed a genuinely happy horse who loved to trot and canter, but was also steady as anything over quite difficult steep terrain. I was so happy to have a bit of a chance to practice cantering and I felt my riding improve over the 3 days, with very helpful tips and encouragement from staff. At all times I felt reassured that they took all necessary safety measures. Utter professionals, a very enjoyable 3 days, solid riding etc. It was also a treat to visit an iconic Australian location - the site of the great poem and movie "Man from Snowy River" and see Craig's Hut. Most of us were reluctant to go back to "civilization" after this lovely trip. Thanks so much for a memorable and special few days in the High Country. Recommend 100%

Buckle Up Bushrides

Guided horseback tours through some of Victoria's most iconic High Country bushland. Located just near Merrijig / Mansfield in the beautiful Boorolite Valley and surrounds. Catering for all levels of ability and age groups, weekend rides, or week long horseback adventures are the top picks or take a relaxing day ride to one of the local wineries / pub.

Getting to ride in the mountains where The Man From Snowy River was created has been my ultimate dream and thanks to Buckle Up Bushrides, my dream came true. Riding with the most amazing people and beautiful horses made this trip one of my favourites. Would 100% go back.
