tait's wongabel stables

Two years ago, we visited Tait's with my young daughter who was too young to ride, but who was given a wonderful hour getting up close to her favourite animals before they set off on a ride. Now well and truly hooked on horses, we returned for a ride at Wongabel at last, and were not disappointed. Finding old equine friends was wonderful, and the shabby old yards and sheds were just as picturesque and authentic as before. A great ride up out of the valley may be a little hair-raising for beginners, but the horses are well trained and experienced and well led. Beautiful views, abundant bird life, and even a tree kangaroo bounding away. We'll be back for the overnight rides in a few years!

Beautiful setting, wonderful people, knowledgeable and experienced, this is a real deal equine experience not a flimsy tourist operation. Make sure you check out the Ferro cement tree building whilst you are there.

It's not for tourists looking for a pony ride, this is the real deal, a family concern with a passion for horses and the bush. You need to be a rider to go out on these trips, and our daughter was too young, but the little treat she got was, in her own words, just about the most wonderful thing she had ever done, and something for which we will always be grateful. When she can ride, we'll be back. Thank you so much.

De prachtige omgeving van de tablelands - dat wilde ik graag te paard ontdekken. Helaas zijn de ranches in de omgeving van het type 'fabriek', busladingen toeristen die te paard geladen worden. En vaak nog duur ook.Bij de vriendelijke mensen van de toeristinformation in Atherton trof ik de folder van Tait's Wongabel Stables aan.Goed verzorgde, vriendelijke paarden. En alle tijd om zelf te zadelen, rustig zelf eerst rond te rijden, en zelfs een sprongetje te maken.De halve dagtocht is voor iedereen een aanrader, dwars door de bossen over kleine paadjes, in volle galop bergopwaarts, pauze met zelfgebakken cake en een kop water rechtstreeks uit het beekje. Een echte belevenis!
