Take an easy horse ride through premium Margaret River çountryside and along the winding bush tracks. This escorted tour is ideal for groups of mixed abilities. The pace is relaxed however there is an opportunity to trot on this ride (always subject to group safety of course!). The experienced guides will generally give you the chance to try out some of your horse riding skills while keeping the group safe and controlled! If you would prefer to stay at a walking pace for the entire ride, we suggest you consider the 1.5hr Introduction to Horse Riding. As with all our tours, we escort the group out into the bushland with highly capable guides, to ensure we can cater for a mixture of different riding skill levels.
Please let us know if you have particular requirements.Suitable for all abilities from beginners to advanced.

Highly recommended to any one who wants to experience horseriding, beginner to advanced
Fiona and Paul are such wonderful hosts and their property is so tranquil and relaxing that you don’t want to leave. The trail guides on the weekend; Emma, Michelle, Yvonne, Lizzy and Ebony were so sharing of their wealth of knowledge on how to enjoy and improve your riding skills, with safety as the number one priority.
The beautiful horses that are so well trained made the riding very enjoyable through the spectacular Boranup Forest and surrounding forest countryside. We were treated to absolutely delicious meals thanks to our wonderful family chefs Sally and Alex. This included lunch on the Saturday ride at Alex’s winery.
The bell tents are very spacious with an extremely comfortable warm bed.
If you are looking for an exceptional 2 day horse trekking experience, you can’t go past Jesters Flat.
Thank you again Paul, Fiona and staff for a great weekend 😃.
Being local in the South West we are always eager to check out different activities in the region to pass on to visiting friends.
Without exception the Trail Ride we joined at Jesters Flat on a Sunday morning was the absolute best activity we have ever had in the South West.
The premises is incredibly charming & curated beautifully for a rustic, cosy ambience. All facilities easily accessed & very clean. Heading to the location itself is half the pleasure, nestled in the farmland & bush of Rosa Brook.
We were absolute beginners and somewhat terrified of getting a wild brumby tearaway .these fears were instantly allayed on introduction to the lovely gentle group of horses that were to be our hosts. Beautifully groomed, happy, calm & excellently trained. They were just gorgeous.
The main strength at Jesters Flat, though, in my opinion , were clearly the staff.
Our guides were Michelle, Emma & Con who proved themselves to be thoroughly adept & accomplished riders, in full control of their own horses but also the group at large.
Their gentle reassurances & kindness turned out to be the pinnacle of the experience as it guaranteed everyone involved felt confident & supported.
I’m unsure of what training they receive but whatever it may be, it manifests in a superbly enjoyable ride throughout some glorious countryside.
In short, this will be the first place I ever recommend to visitors, interstate or international.
Completely suitable for beginners, kids or adults.
This place is the bomb.
Paul and Lucy were amazing hosts and the majority of the team were fab.
The horses were well trained and knew their job.
Unfortunately the lead guide decided to take a personal dislike to me and felt it was appropriate to give me a public dressing down/lecture in front of the other riders after I asked a question.
I was upset and left feeling like I didn’t want to continue my ride.
She behaved like a bully which is not acceptable for someone in her position.
The other riders were supportive and were also shocked. I was told by regular clientele that it has happened before and that I was the chosen target for that ride.
I spoke with the owner who said it would be addressed. No feedback sadly.
We won’t be returning and I won’t be recommending the premise to others.
Such a shame!
I rode Freda &, of course, wanted to take her home (best horse ever!). We were paired perfectly, which made for a beautiful 5 days in the saddle. All of the horses at Jesters were very well taken care of & were happy to be on the trails with us. They did not at all seem bored or sour, which, unfortunately, you do come across at some trail-riding places.
Thank you to all at Jesters Flat for one of the best & memorable horsey holidays I’ve had so far. I CANNOT wait to come back. ????????
The rides were simply amazing. They cater for all levels with plenty of trotting and cantering throughout the 2 days. And when you are not trotting you are walking through the most beautiful countryside, along rivers, through vineyards (with the owners approval of course). The rides were led by 4 extremely skilled and super friendly guides, ensuring everyone was well looked after and kept safe. My riding improved significantly over the 2 days.
Glamping at Jesters Flat was beyond our expectations. The tents are gorgeous, beds super comfortable, and the meals & wine served throughout the weekend were first rate. Paul & Fiona went above and beyond to ensure that we all had the best weekend. They are the nicest people, probably why most of the guests were return visitors. We will definitely be back for another weekend retreat next year!
The premises look nice and the horses seem like they are taken care of very well.
The tour itself was 1 h of slow trodding behind each other with a large group (ten people). Well - meh, not my cup of tea.
What really turned this experience from meh to horrible was the behaviour of one of our guides. I am not an experienced rider and Emma used every opportunity to pick on me in front of the entire group. I felt publicly ridiculed if not bullied, which was a very humiliating and unpleasant experience. I was in get-this-over-with mode from minute 5 on and did not enjoy the ride at all.
I don't feel like I have given this person any reason to treat me like that and I don't feel anybody should have to put up with this kind of treatment. I did notify Jester's flat before that I am a beginner and they said 'no worries it's going to be alright'. Well I am sorry but that was everything but alright.
The ride through the bushland country-side was beautiful and we even saw some wild kangaroos along the way.
Thank you for a lovely afternoon ride and taking such good care of us! We really enjoyed the experience and hope to be back someday again.
When we got there we realised we were on a “quiet” trail and asked for a private trail instead and they went the extra mile to accommodate us! Just fantastic! Thank you very much everyone for the amazing day spent with horses and kangaroos!!
The ladies that took us were brilliant. They correct your technique quickly but in a really friendly way, and it made our youngest feel at ease.
It is a very well run establishment, with the horses very clearly well loved and looked after.
We spoke on the drive home and both kids agreed they'd love to do it again! We will be back.
I will definitely recommend Jesters Flat to my friends and family! And we will be back!
Thank you to the staff at Jesters Flat for making our romantic weekend away, just perfect! ❤
The horses are so well cared for and very educated. We were all matched perfectly
Polocrosse put me right out of my comfort zone but was sooo much fun Paul being an Australian champion player gave us a lesson and got us going.
Riding thru the forest and vineyards were great but the beach ride and swimming the horses was just unbelievable.
I couldnt recommend this place any higher. Very grateful for our experience.
It's a really nice way to get experience with riding horses. The horses are well-behaved and polite
The young girls are very enthusiastic and encouraging.
Highly recommend coming here!
The location is gorgeous and we were lucky to see so many wild kangaroos during our ride.
Highlights of our trip included polo cross and the beach ride, the glamping tents were amazing we are definitely coming back.
Thank you to everyone for giving us an amazing experience
I cannot express how much fun this weekend was! From the cosy glamping tents so beautifully decked out, the roaring log fire that burned all weekend, the amazing locally sourced food cooked by Alex, the beautiful cottage where we chatted over cups of tea & red wine, the incredible scenery & especially the great company & hosting of Paul, Fiona & crew.
Special mention to our beautiful horses who carried us through some pretty torrential rainfall without a step wrong. All the horses are so well cared for & great temperaments.
We loved this weekend SO much and cannot wait for next year already! x
