Due to popular demand, we have been asked to send out an updated list of dates available for 2018.... There are some new additions as well as some weekends that have since been booked out. I have sorted the dates into categories as follows:

• Adult's Only Weekends = these weekends are for people 18yrs + and although they sound rather risque are simply kid-free weekends. Whether you want to leave the kids with the grandparents and escape for a couples retreat, or just that the fact of kids running around will detract from your ideal Yarrabin experience.... then these are the weekends for you! You do not need to be a rider (in fact for a reduced price you can choose to not ride at all!), as all our rides cater for all abilities. It is an all-inclusive price of $420 which includes from dinner Friday to lunch Sunday, all accommodation and 3 rides. Any extra rides are an additional $40pp (normally $50). And you can also choose to stay on Sunday night  (with a Monday morning ride) for only $140!

• Kids Riding Camps = wondering how to entertain your kids these holidays? Why not send them up to one of our famous 5-day riding camps! They are run in every school holiday period, but do book up quickly, so get in now! They will get riding instruction, learn basic horse handling and horsemanship skills, get to ride a variety of horses, and also participate in a fun gymkhana at the end. Our group of very qualified and enthusiastic staff make the week unforgettable. Do they have their own horse? We can cater for that too! This is again, another all inclusive price, of $670 per child (or $600 if they bring their own horse). Transport is an additional cost, we offer a supervised trip up on the XPT train from Sydney on the first day (with a bus transfer from Bathurst station to Yarrabin. And a bus transfer to Katoomba on the last day where they will then be accompanied to Strathfield.

• Active Horsemanship Workshops = Have you been wanting to improve your riding but find that simply trail riding is not helping? Our Weekend and Mid-week workshops work on posture, balance, correct position, using your leg and seat aids to control the horse, and outline what we call 'centred riding'. These workshops are designed to improve your relationship with horses and in doing so develop your riding skills, as well as refreshing your soul as you breathe in the clear country air, get back in touch with nature and unleash your inner child! $520 for the weekend workshop (from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) or $700 for the midweek package (from Tuesday evening to Friday lunch).

• Weekends with rooms available = mostly for family bookings, these weekends are great if you want to visit Yarrabin with some other like-minded people. A great way for the kids to meet other kids and get involved in the farm activities. Please see our website for prices.

• Weekends currently with no bookings = these weekends are open for your imagination... Want to plan a reunion with friends and family? Or bring a group up and have the place to yourself? All you need is a group of minimum 8ppl to have the whole of Yarrabin at your disposal! We can offer these weekends as either fully-catered or self-catered, depending on your requirements. Horse-riding doesn't even need to be the focus... If you'd like to bring a yoga group, or bike riding group, or simply want to enjoy the pool and spa. Email us today to discuss options.

• Local Riding Weekends = accomodation is not available on these weekends but we will still have rides going out! So if you live close or happen to be travelling through then why not stop by for an hour and a half ride ($80pp).

• Other Upcoming events = remember that our midweek availability is on offer as well, minimum of 4ppl midweek. We are also a great facility for school groups and work parties! This November we are also taking a group of riders down the the NSW High Country to ride through the Snowy Mountains with Cochran Horsetreks. It is a magnificent ride where the wild flowers and newborn brumby foals will capture your hearts. This is something we only do every second year. Don't get stuck with an unknown group where they have to cater for the lowest rider and you spend the whole week walking! Come with our crew that guarantee long canters along the plains and non-stop laughter around the campfire!
