Horse Riding in the Blue Mountains
There are a number of nearby horse riding adventures available for guests staying at Bilpin Country Lodge.
Experiencing the wonder of the Blue Mountains by horseback is unique and takes visitors to places not frequented by many on foot. The Kanimbla and Megalong Valleys, just an hour from Bilpin, are the best spots for Blue Mountains horse riding and offer breathtaking views and the chance of spotting kangaroos and other native animals.
There are a number of places providing horse-riding experiences to suit your level of riding experience, from total beginner to expert.
We have listed some of the Blue Mountains horse riding options below:
Centennial Glen Stables - Kanimbla Valley
Centennial Glen Stables has a variety of horse riding experiences from short introductions, to full day affairs, including horse riding lessons, carriage rides, pony rides and other options for children. Here are some of their rides.

Horse Rides
With their calm and well-trained horses, coupled with friendly guides, you are sure to have a thoroughly enjoyable riding experience.
All rides are led by experienced and friendly guides. Their senior guides hold accreditation with Horse Safety Australia, and the stables and site itself are also accredited.
Sunset Trail Ride
The valley is a fantastic place to ride – especially at sunset, when you can enjoy the amazing change of colours on the Blue Mountains escarpments.
You will ride with an experienced guide, and will be able to trot and canter if it is safe to do so.
The trail ride starts 1.5 hours before sunset.
Sulky Rides
A sulky is a horse-drawn, two wheeled carriage, pulled by one horse. It takes two adults, or one adult and two children.
They give you instructions and you drive the carriage around the valley trails. One of the guides will will also ride along with you. If you prefer, they can even drive the sulky for you.
Sulkies and horse riders can join the same ride so you can enjoy the experience together.
Euroka Homestead
Euroka Homestead offer horse riding with experienced riders that guide beginners on a horse from the homestead, or your own horse.
Offering options from 1, 1 ½ and 2 hour guided rides along the Six-Foot Track in the Megalong Valley, riders have the option of a gentle ride along the creek, or a ‘Cellar Door’ rides experience. Riding from the stables to the Dryridge Estate cellar door for cheese platters and wine tasting, this may be a fun option for wine lovers.
