Horse Riding

HORSE RIDING NO LONGER AVAILABLE

Horse rides at Bimbi Park cater for all ages and levels of ability. Rides are carefully graded, there are experienced horses, qualified instructors, safe trails and approved safety helmets. The sandy soil of the region makes for good riding even after rain.

Trail rides in the Otways are exciting affairs. You can ride along marvelous beaches where the wild windswept waves of the Southern Ocean form an exhilarating background. You can amble through lush expanses of forest and long the cliff tops at sunset.  Rides also take you to Cape Otway Lighthouse, scenic lookouts and some of the pretty bays that dot the Otway coastline.

Bimbi Park offers the most scenic rides on the Victorian coastline.  The unspoilt Station Beach, coastal sand-dunes, bush trails, Cape Otway scenery, Billy Teas, on well trained, good mannered horses.

We also do led Pony Rides on days listed for rides.  
Bimbi Park is one of the oldest riding establishments around still operated by the same Trail Leader.  This is because we grade our rides to suit our customers, care for our horses and the environment, and have what we believe is, the best scenic trails.
