    We climb out of the valley floor on horseback, and up to the ridgeline
    that reveals some of the Victorian High Country’s most spectacular
    scenery. Hone your horse riding skills with trotting and cantering
    along deserted tracks before we wind our way down to the luxury river house
    at acclaimed Howqua Dale. Enjoy private ensuited accommodation fine local food and
    wine, pre-dinner nibbles on the terrace overlooking the valley and river.
    The next day we follow bridle tracks, visiting historical points of interest
    and hearing colourful stories of local characters. We explore many broad

    and realise how awe-inspiring the bravery and skills of the riders were
    in this movie. Up here the 360 degree views are spectacular – we can

    the other. We finish our ride at our historic stables, enjoying famous
    country hospitality at our farmhouse.
