Tamborine Mountain Trail Rides is nestled in the foothills of the Gold Coast’s Tamborine Mountain, in historic Thunderbird Park, a sprawling 112 hectare mountain retreat bordered by State Forest and National Park.

 

Imagine riding trails that wind through cool, green rainforest next to a rushing creek, then climbing upwards to venture through majestic, tall gum trees with breathtaking views of the valley below! It's some of the best horse riding at Mt Tamborine and is one of the Gold Coast Hinterland's favourite attractions. 

 

Tamborine Mountain is known world wide for its unique, mystical beauty. You will soon discover why it attracts people from all over the world!

 

Geoff and Karen Cook have been sharing their passion for horses with people from all over the world since taking over the long established Tamborine Mountain Trail Rides in 2004.Together with their daughter Celine they have brought the magical experience of riding a horse through one of the most beautiful places on earth to many thousands of people.

 

 “Being able to share the joy of horses and our beautiful country by providing a safe, enjoyable and educational experience is what we are about” - Karen Cook, Owner & Operator.

 

All of the horses are fit, exceptionally well looked after and in very good condition. They vary in breed and type and all are experienced in negotiating the mountain trails.  We will match you with a horse to suit your level of experience and your size.  We use mainly Australian stock saddles, all of which are individually fitted to the horses, comfortable to ride in and well maintained.

Suitable for beginners to advanced riders. The trails on this ride are more challenging, therefore we recommend children be at least 10 years old and willing to ride independently without being on a lead rope. Trotting and cantering is permitted for experienced riders at the discretion of the trail leader.

 

For the little ones we have two beautiful Shetland ponies, Oliver and Jellybean who are available for cuddles, photos and lead rides around the lawn.  Children under 6 are also able to ride Oliver and Jellybean, parents are welcome to walk along with them.
