Is it worth it?

It can be, particularly if you are curious about horse behaviour and want practical interaction rather than a riding lesson. It offers a different kind of horse experience, but keep in mind that no riding is involved.

💡 TourBookGo tip

Make sure you want a horse communication experience rather than a trail ride. Check the weather, wear closed footwear and review the exact Bonogin Valley Horse Retreat location before setting off.

Before you book

Learn horse communication and body language

The exercises focus on trust, personal space, non-verbal communication and how your own attitude can influence a horse's response.

You may lead a horse with a rope, ask it to step back to establish healthy personal space and work through simple obstacles together.

A different horse activity on the Gold Coast

It is particularly well suited to horse and animal lovers, beginners, families, experienced riders and travellers interested in communication, self-awareness or personal development.

It also offers a quieter, more personal alternative to the Gold Coast's beaches, theme parks and water activities. The main limitation is that there is no horse riding.

What to know before booking this horse experience

The experience is not suitable for people with reduced mobility or animal allergies. All instruction is provided in English.

Bring water, comfortable weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. Sandals, flip-flops, open shoes, pets, shorts, skirts, transparent clothing, smoking, vaping, alcohol, drugs and chewing gum are not permitted.
