​The Kimberley Horse Riding Adventure

2021 dates not currently scheduled.
Please contact us if you would like a quote to bring your group in 2022.

Enjoy a week of riding steady, willing horses under wide Kimberley skies, over remote, ancient Kimberley plains, along dusty stock routes and riverbanks and past a thousand year old boab tree. Pull up beside a cool waterhole for lunch and maybe a swim. Head back to the station for a cool drink and recap the day's adventures around the camp fire. Set your own pace and create a a fun itinerary.

Highlights

• Daily rides of between 3 and 6 hours with the team at Digger's Rest Station.
• Welcome and farewell complimentary bubbles and nibbles
• You’ll have your own comfy Bush Hut or Bunkhouse room each night and you'll wake to stunning views of the Cockburn Ranges.
• The station is a working cattle property, not a resort, so living the way they do and getting to know everyone there is part of the fun. 
• You can be as active or relaxed as you like - join the day’s activities or lie in a hammock with a book!

A Kimberley horse riding adventure for people who love to ride -

• But do not want to camp
• Who don't want to spend their whole holiday in the saddle
• Who want to experience more of the Kimberley and station life

If you plan to ride.
If you want to ride during your stay you do need to be able to ride as there are no riding lessons available. If it has been a while, we recommend that you have some refresher lessons before you come - it will make your experience better!

Digger's Rest horses are excellent, sure footed, well cared for and also used for mustering. All rides will be led by Digger's Rest Station staff whose requests are to be followed at all times. ​We require you to wear a HELMET. If you don't want to bring one, we have a good selection at the station.

A weight limit of 90kgs applies to all riders (unless you can demonstrate excellent riding skills and balanced seat.)

Maximum group size is 10.
