Overview

This ride leaves from Jesters Flat and spends roughly four hours heading out through the Rapids Conservation Park to Canebrake Pool. It is not a slow plod the whole way: the pace varies, so riders need a bit of fitness and the ability to trot. There are still stretches where you can settle in and take in the forest.

At Canebrake Pool the horses are loaded onto a truck and taken back to the stable while riders stay behind. A light lunch is supplied at the pool, and a swim is possible when the weather allows. The return leg is not on horseback. A small bus collects the group for the scenic drive back to Jesters Flat.

The ride suits novice through advanced riders aged 15 and over. There is a weight limit of 90 kilograms, though exceptions can be made for experienced riders who contact the operator directly. Plan for half a day in total, and arrive at Jesters Flat 20 minutes before departure.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get ready for this ride.

• Riding fitness. The pace varies during the ride, so a little fitness and the ability to trot are required. That said, the listing notes there is plenty of opportunity to just relax and enjoy the forest.
• Weight limit. Riders must be 90 kilograms or under. Exceptions can be made for experienced riders who contact the operator by phone or email beforehand to discuss it.
• Age and swimming. The ride is for ages 15 and over, from novice to advanced riders. If anyone swims at Canebrake Pool, children need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• Arrive early. The operator asks riders to arrive at Jesters Flat 20 minutes before departure. The meeting point is 1549 Rosa Brook Rd, Rosa Brook WA 6285.
• Time allowance. The ride runs about four hours, and the operator suggests allowing half a day for the full experience. That covers the ride, lunch, the swim if conditions suit, and the bus trip back.
• Getting there. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport to and from the Rosa Brook property. The return from Canebrake Pool is by the operator's bus, not on horseback.

Common issues. The main limits come from the listing itself. The ride requires a degree of fitness and the ability to trot, so it is not a purely passive trail ride. The 90 kilogram weight limit applies, with exceptions only for experienced riders who arrange it in advance. Swimming at Canebrake Pool depends on the weather, and children who swim need a parent or guardian present. Hotel pickup is excluded, and riders must make their own way to Rosa Brook and arrive 20 minutes early.
