We love it when a guest just gets us 🤎

​There is nothing more rewarding than hosting someone who completely connects with the heart behind what we do. Reading this beautiful note from Nina absolutely made our week:

​'Thanks for all the fabulous photos & videos, they’ve brought a smile to my face as I sit at my desk haha. And thank you again for a great few days! It was so enlightening to learn about your approach to horsemanship and witness first hand the kind of partnership you can develop when you build trust together. As I said, I will take many learnings back to my lessons and hopefully to leasing a horse at sometime in the future. On the non-horse front, thank you again to you, Bernie, Lorraine & Lenny for the wonderful hospitality. It is very special to be welcomed into someone’s home and treated like an old friend. I will definitely be in touch in July to see if you have any volunteer rider spots! Thanks again ☺️' Nina, Sydney

​Thank you, beautiful Nina! You arrived as a guest and left as an old friend. We can’t wait to have you back at Champagne Hilll soon! 🍾

📣 Warning: Side effects of our multi-day treks may include falling hopelessly in love with your four-legged partner. 🌟

There’s nothing quite like the bond that forms when you trust a horse to carry you through the wilderness. It’s not just a ride; it’s a love story in the making.

Cantering in the clouds feels like floating on air, where the rhythm of the horse blends seamlessly with the mist and the boundaries between earth and sky disappear. Pure bliss ✨️

The perfect reward after a long day in the saddle. 🧡 There’s nothing quite like pulling off the boots, making sure the herd is rugged up and content for the night, and watching the sky put on a show like this. Champagne Hill absolutely glowing at twilight. ✨

✨️It is moments like these that remind me exactly why I do what I do—when a ride becomes so much more than just a holiday. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a guest truly "click" with the herd, especially with a soul as strong as Phoenix. We strive for that feeling of effortless flow, but hearing it described as an "emotional release" is a beautiful reminder that the magic of this place stays with you long after the dust settles ✨️


'This ride was more than just a holiday, it was something that really stayed with me. There was a moment after our first canter where I found myself unexpectedly emotional. It felt like a release, like being out there in that environment just let everything slow down and settle. That’s something I didn’t expect but really valued.

I rode Phoenix and he was an absolute gentleman. He has a strong presence and you can tell he’s one of the leaders of the herd. I felt like we had already connected on a deeper level. It was a really unique and intuitive partnership.

What stood out most was the feeling across the whole experience. Everything just flowed. The people, the horses, the environment, it all worked together in a way that felt effortless. You never feel rushed or out of place, you just get to be present in it.

There’s a really special balance to the place. It feels calm and grounding but also full of life and energy. I left not really wanting to go home, and even a couple of weeks later I still feel like a part of me is there. It’s one of those experiences that’s hard to fully explain, you just have to feel it. ~ Rose, Newcastle, Australia
