The Hunter changes character in the last light of the day. The heat eases off, the light softens over the ridgelines and the local wildlife starts to stir, and this 90 minute sunset ride puts you right in the middle of it from the saddle.After a helmet fitting and safety lesson at the Adventure Centre, you'll walk out through bushland, farmland and historic stock routes around Hunter Valley Resort on one of the farm's gentle natured horses. The pace stays at a walk the whole way, so first timers can relax into it while the sun sets over the Broken Back Range. It's the longest group trail ride the team runs, and a lovely way to close out a wine weekend.Travelling with younger kids? Riders from 6 can join the 30 minute family horse ride.
