From the moment of arrival at Quirindi Stables – the home of Hepburn Lagoon Trail Rides, the pride and care that Kieran, Sue and their children take in their property is plain to see. Beautiful trees, lovely gardens, well preserved original buildings and so many happy horses!
Hepburn Lagoon Rides caters for all riders – beginners to experienced. The horses are well cared for and all have their own distinct personality. Kieran and his staff are skilled at matching horse and rider which will ensure that any riding experience at Hepburn Lagoon Rides will be a unique and memorable one. All riders will receive individual attention and our aim is for safety, comfort and enjoyment.
Kieran gives clear and thorough instructions on how to ride and aims to get each rider trotting. There is an opportunity for cantering in the bush for riders at Kieran's discretion. The rides include country roads and native bushland which offer the possibility of native wildlife sightings such as koalas, kangaroos and echidnas. And who doesn't love the sound of a kookaburra?
Refreshments are provided at the end of the ride, which is a welcome treat. Relaxing and chatting with the other riders only makes the experience better!
Call Kieran to organise a trail ride for yourself, family, friends or group.
"Kieran and his family were not only welcome to my son and mother going on the 2 hour ride but to my wife and myself. They took the time to talk and it felt really warm and genuine. His children were helpful and very polite, he should be very proud. My son was nervous in the beginning but Kieran made him feel comfortable on the horse and for that we are very grateful to you, a very positive experience given it was his first proper ride. Thank you and highly recommended."
"Highly recommend Hepburn Lagoon Trail Rides as Keiran is a true gentlemen, professional and very patient! His property, antique memorabilia and horses are beautiful not to mention his wife Sue made us an awesome homemade pizza with her own special relish which was absolutely delicious! Thank you for an amazing day we look forward to coming back soon!
"Simply memorable. We were made to feel welcome no matter what level of riding experience (we have none). Kieran and his kids were understanding and his daughter had the patients of an angel as she led my partner on a lead strap for over an hour until my partner was confident enough with the support and guidance given. Couldn't ask for more. Couldn't wish for more. Horses were lovely - even if mine had taken this 'Winx' attitude thing to heart ... what lovely animals, well cared for and loved and this showed. Brilliant. Would do it again next weekend if they gave us another public holiday. You really need to do this people - if you only do one things outside the square once."
