6-Hour Berry Farm Ride

The Berry Farm Ride runs through Jesters Flat. Rated 4.9 across 325 reviews. Runs 6 hours (approx.). From $400.

Overview

The riding itself runs roughly five and a half hours, most of it spent crossing Blackwood National Park on the way to a berry farm in the Rosa Glen area. A light lunch is supplied along the way, and there is ample opportunity to trot and canter. The operator recommends a good level of fitness and endurance for this one.

The route ends at the Berry Farm, where the horses are transported back to Jesters Flat and riders settle in for an included afternoon tea at the cafe. That break is part of the deal, not an optional extra. Afterwards a small bus returns everyone to the Jesters Flat base.

Conditions shape the day more than most people expect. Summer can be hot and winter wet, so clothing choices matter. There is no hotel pickup; riders make their own way to Rosa Brook Road. Anyone comfortable in the saddle for the better part of a day, and keen on a ride with real pace in it, will get the most from it.
