Just home from a wonderful 4 day ride up the Great Victorian Rail Trail. Jo and John could not do enough for us. Great food, accommodation and company.
Loved meeting the mules, Bobo being my favorite. Recommend the business as you will come home with great memories to keep.
Ohh the food!!!!

What a great trip we had. I cannot recommend Jo and John Kasch highly enough. Pack Saddling Australia think of everything. Very generous in their delicious food offerings etc. if you are looking for a ‘take your own horse’ hosted ride without having to arrange horse yards, accommodation in real beds, 
and the food just happens. This is the trip for you.
and the food just happens. This is the trip for you.Cannot recommend highly enough!
Recently went on the 6 day Mystic Mountains trip, was fantastic, everything catered for, excellent food, comfortable accommodation for horse and rider, brilliant rides, super nice welcoming knowledgeable hosts. Plan B for the day it snowed was fun and educational. Pushed myself out of my comfort zone to attend this horse holiday and so happy I did. Highly recommend.
