farm stay
Camping in our beautiful countryside is an experience you will never forget!
Argalong Trail Rides is the perfect way to get away from it all and reconnect with family, friends or even that work group or committee retreat. Our rides offer the guest that personal attention as we only take group bookings of four (4) or more but no more than ten (10) guest to ensure that you receive good old fashioned hospitality and a hearty meal at our Alfresco.
All our meals are provided on the farm stays and are made with fresh local produce to ensure quality and great taste. There is nothing like eating a hearty meal in the fresh air after a day on horseback! Special dietary requirements can be accommodated to, just talk to Donna when booking your farm stay.
FARM STAY CAMP
FARM STAY
After being asked and asked, OK maybe that translates as nagged, by our regulars we are now offering the option of a Farm Stay at our home base. This is a wonderful way to ride, eat, and spend quality time in the fresh air where we lay our boots.
WHAT TO PACK
As Argalong in in the Snowy Mountain Ranges and you will be camping in swags and riding during the day we have the made a list of a few things that are essential to bring with you.
Packing List:
* Casual shirts (preferrably with collars) and long trousers to protect you from the sun during the day and Mozzies and cool weather at night.
* Riding boots or sturdy sneakers (please note NO work boots as the heavy soles/tread can cause feet to become stuck in stirrups)
* Warm clothes for the evening as the nights can become quite cool, even in summer, and downright chilly at other times.
* A rain coat for inclement weather plus other shoes and a sun hat for the end of the day.
*Sunscreen, lip balm and insect repellant.
* , Own pillow, sleeping bag and swag if you have one if camping and not in accomidation.
