We have a great program planned for season 2003-2004. After last season was cancelled due to the Alpine Bushfires, we are keen to saddle up again and venture into the mountains, to witness the miracle of post fire rehabilitation.The bush will be a different and exciting place this summer with a riot of vigorous plant growth, long veiws "through" the bush and long lost treasures revealed again. We have again offered more detail in our program, with all 5 day rides incorporating a Bogong traverse, and the Mt Fainter rides packaged into 3 days.Our Spring Spur stables, nestled below Victoria's highest mountain, are an ideal starting point to experience the best the High Country has to offer. The Bogong area of the Alpine National Park features the 7 highest peaks in Victoria, vast rolling High Plains, dozens of historic huts, mobs of brumbies, fast flowing mountain rivers, spectacular displays of wildflowers, old goldmines and a network of mining and cattle tracks cut into mountain sides over 100 years ago.The best way to experience this vast area, most of it in-accessable to 4WD, is to join one of our Packhorse supported tours. Continuing an unbroken tradition dating back to the 1860's, our team can take you on the journey of a lifetime.
