Moonlight Rides .
Even
beginner riders can enjoy the beauty of our lovely property on a
Moonlight Ride. The ride is approximately 1.5 hours long after which
we have an open fire BBQ (BYO). We then set about having some
serious partying 'round the campfire. Rather than drive after
drinking, why not roll out a swag or sleeping bag under the stars,or stay in
one of our bunkhouses and head home the next morning. This is a great group night
out.
Cost for this ride is $40.00 per person.
Want something a little different for you and your friends?
For a group of riders that would like a moonlight ride that is a that little bit special we offer
a ride to the Mosquito Creek Winery for wine tasting and a barbeque dinner. Relax over dinner then enjoy
the ride back around the lake in the moonlight. The ride time is approximately 2.5 hours.
The cost for this great evening out is $90.00 incl the bbq. (Drinks not included)
for more particulars and to book for this ride phone Sandy on (07) 3285-1444

Pub Rides
The Crown Hotel Dayboro
We start from our property up in the
mountains (Mt Mee) and ride through some spectacular scenery, down
to the Dayboro Pub where we stay the night. The dinner in their
a-la-carte restaurant is scrumptious while the "Stockman's
Breakfast" on the pub's verandah next morning is a very nice start
to the day's ride.
The next day we ride across the mountains to
our main property. The views and countryside are spectacular the
entire way. Obviously it goes without saying that there's plenty of
partying between dinner and breakfast. We usually book the whole
pub!

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

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 us an email with contact phone number (link at bottom of the page)
or ring Mike (Slicker's special ride co-ordinator) on 0419-871714.
