Horse Lovers Camping
NO STALLIONS ARE PERMITTED ON THE RAIL CORRIDOR.
Until our trees are a little more established, in certain campgrounds we have setup a separate camp area for your convenience.
You will need to adhere to the above policy as well as the following:
- You will need to be totally self sufficient and bring water for your horses – there is currently no water available on the corridor;
- Be aware of your horse’s “yarding” in relation to the trail for the safety of your horse, yourself and trail users – please ensure that all electric fencing is erected and properly signed. Please refer to your electric fence instructions/user manual for other regulations;
- Please spread your horse’s droppings and uneaten hay when leaving. The mowers will distribute it and fertilize at the same time;
- Please clear dung off the trail pathway through the tunnels and at camp grounds.
Other animals on the corridor
- Do not approach cattle, horses, native animals or other wildlife;
- Although our camp sidings are securely fenced, it is possible that a fence may be down or gate left open letting livestock into the camp ground. Please open gates to allow the livestock to exit quietly if this is the case.
- Please notify us if a fence is down or livestock remain in the fenced siding via the form at the bottom of this page.
