Pub Rides

The Crown Hotel Dayboro
We start from our cattle property on Ocean View Road in the ranges to the north of Brisbane at 10 a.m. and ride through spectacular scenery down the mountainside to the “The Crown” at Dayboro where we have lunch. After an excellent and filling meal (plus a couple of drinks) it is back on the horses again for the climb back up the mountain to the top plateau and continue on back to the farm, arriving there at about 4 p.m.
The ride includes a couple of areas that could be from "The Man from Snowy River" country, so we class this ride as one for riders that have ridden 30 times or more.

School Holiday Programs
Designed to show your children there is an alternative in life to TV, video games and computers. Our programs give your children plenty of hands on contact with their horses enabling them to consolidate their understanding of horses and riding ability in a fun filled socially interactive way. They can camp over on the property or return home each night. Each child is given their own horse for the duration of the camp.
Riders may attend for any combination of days during the programme

Kids' Saturday Riding Clubs
Besides our School Holiday Programme we also hold Saturday riding clubs for the youngsters at three levels, beginner, medium and more experienced riders. The aim of these Clubs is to encourage the children to partake in many activities and learn interaction skills with others. Besides honing the riders skills with tuition aimed at increasing the riders particular skill levels, having fun and getting enjoyment from their riding is part of our philosophy. Taking part in riding games is just one way of achieving this, but just as important is also learning about riding life outside the equestrian arena, by enjoying trail rides on our 3,500 acres of properties with many different types of terrain that require different riding skills.

Adult Riding Group alias the "Big Kid's Club"
This is a group of experienced adult riders ranging in age from their 20's to early 60's, who have one major thing in common, they still enjoy their riding and at times taking themselves to the limits of their riding ability. Based at our Ocean View property the "BKC" get together at least once on the weekend for 2 to 3 hours of riding. Usually once a month a stop over is organised at the property, riding the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Some drinks and great company around the camp fire in the evening is an added bonus. Many "Specials" are also arranged. Several of the regular riders lease their horses, and with the "BKC" they can enjoy riders company and not ride alone. So if you enjoy your riding but these days do not have anyone to ride with come along and have an outing with the "Big Kid's Club". For more details give Daryl a ring on (07) 3285-2704 or 0414-877562 or ring Mike (Slicker's special ride co-ordinator) on 0419-871714.

Corporate Days
Riding is a great group activity especially when it's rounded off with some canoeing and an Aussie barbecue under the gum trees. All sorts of contests and challenges can be added to the day. A number of our customer companies have voted their riding activity days as their "best outings ever".

Cross Country Adventure Rides
Enjoy riding through thick wooded scrub and bush, or ride across rolling hills and into deep rain forest gorges taking in some of the most spectacular views in SE Queensland. The rides are between three and four hours duration, with a break at a selcuded waterhole for a short break with "billy tea" and scones.

It is recommended for these rides that the riders have a basic knowledge of horse riding. They are not for first time riders.
Rides can be arranged at dates and times to suit your requirements. (minimum 2 riders)

Pony Parties
Give your children a birthday to remember with a Pony Party. We have several adorable little horses that your children can ride around on and play with in total safety. BBQ facilities, acres of land for them to play in, and much more.
