Lovely owner, excellent horses in great condition and amazing 1000 acres of varied bush to explore with huge variety in terrain. After healthy meal, a comfy bed, peaceful starry night before repeating next day after wake-up call by "Tip". What else do you want?

25/08/2019 We absolutely enjoy our camping in this place. The horse riding is a great adventure for any type of rider. Our horse riding guide was a champion. Nat & Jorge from Colombia

10/08/2019 I took my 8-year-old daughter on a Parent-Child weekend at Fordsdale. We both had a brilliant time. Sue is a lovely host and made us feel so welcome, she has a lovely way of getting everyone talking with each other. The horseriding was brilliant and my daughter loved her horse. I also really appreciated the unexpected experiences, like my daughter learning how to make conversation at the dinner table with a group of people she didn't know. Thanks for the wonderful weekend Sue!

24/03/2019 Everything about the weekend was wonderful. Sue was very warm and welcoming. We did a full day's Horse Riding on Saturday up and down Hills all over the Fordsdale Property. The setting is very idyllic. You also get a warm welcome from Tip, Sue's canine companion. Then a couple of hours Riding on Sunday. Loved it.

04/03/2019 We had a fantastic morning riding at Fordsdale Horseback Adventures, a beautiful property with lots of hills and scenery. Sue was the perfect host, helping us get going on the horses (it had been a long time for me!) and taking us on a tour around the property.

23/09/2018Forsdale horseback adventures is an awesome place to visit for riding or camping, Sue is a great host and you won’t find a friendlier person. She has a wealth of knowledge I often visit just to take photographs and enjoy the peace and quiet that the valley gives you.

03/04/2018I took my 19 year old daughter for a three day Horse Riding Holiday at Fordsdale. We went riding mornings and late afternoons (It is the peak of summer at the moment so too hot to ride in the middle of the day). Sue taught my daughter to trot and we were then able to trot on parts of our rides. We really enjoyed getting to know some of the horses and their unique personalities. There are so many trails on the 1000 acre property, so we explored somewhere new each day. The horses are healthy and very well cared for. They have lots of space to wander around freely (We went to find them in the 4WD before each ride). We stayed in the guest house and enjoyed Sue's excellent meals. Sue could not have done more to make our three days everything I had hoped they would be! I hope to return!

02/05/2017Beautiful views, great camping areas either with a large group or 2 people. Horse riding was fantastic and great trail rides to see the country side. Friendly horses and friendly owners, Important to have a 4wd if you are wanting to wake up to a good view if you are camping.

26/04/2017Our family had a fabulous few days at the farm in January this year. The grandchildren went horse riding & loved playing attention to the other animals. We did plenty of exploring around the property as well. Sue made us feel most welcome & we hope to return soon.

12/08/2016Great hosts who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Amazing horses that are a pleasure to ride. Cater to all ages and walks of life. Will definitely be going back

07/08/2016I didn't just have a great time at Fordsdale, I had an amazing time. A time that filled my soul and made my heart sing. If this sounds a bit too over the top for you, you haven't ridden on a horse through beautiful landscape, accompanied by a guide, whose love for horses and the environment shines through everything she does. You haven't basked in meditative silence enhanced by the sounds of nature or enjoyed stimulating conversations while trusting that your horse finds the safest path up and down the hills. Thank you so much, Sue and team. You have helped me create unforgettable memories. I will be back to make more.

23/07/2016I stayed at fordsdale horseback adventures for five days on a jackroo experience. This involved living and working alongside fordsdale lovely owner Sue. I went to fordsdale at the end of my six weeks travel around Australia, as an experienced rider I wanted to experience the Australian culture of riding. Sue and Lindsey had great knowledge and experience. They make you feel very welcome and at home, plus Tip the dog is just the best. Fordsdale has the most amazing, stunning landscape that is perfect for riders of all abilities. The main thing I can say about fordsdale is the kind, honest nature of all its horses. I haven't worked with Arabs in a long time and fordsdale reminded me that the bred are beautiful, responsive, intelligent and have scope to be great all rounders for competitions. I had a great time so from a riders point of view fordsdale will offer you a great holiday or day out.

28/05/2016Fantastic camping spot for bush style camping, lots of room and options for camping spots. Kids had a great time horse riding and plenty of walking/running tracks around the property. We will be back for sure.

30/04/2016We had 4 nights with Sue and our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our time! Sue was terrific with the kids who were new to horse riding and very patient. Stunning views, beautiful property and great country hospitality. We're already planning our next trip.
Hilary Pakeman-Lester
07/04/2016We had an absolute ball this morning on our ride, the horses were fantastic, the views spectacular and Sue was very kind and patient with us. My partner had never ridden a horse and spent the whole way home talking about how next time we go back we should do more! He was very happy with how it went and it made me extremely happy to see that! Will definitely come back again and recommend! Thanks again Sue!
