WELCOME
If you're into horses, or just looking for a relaxing rural getaway, Tassiriki Ranch is the place for you. Only 75 minutes south of the Gold Coast and just a short drive from the popular seaside towns of Byron Bay, Lennox Head, and Ballina.

Nestled amongst the cane fields on the North Coast of New South Wales, Tassiriki Ranch occupies 40 acres of lush grasslands just 800 meters from secluded South Ballina Beach. Tassiriki Ranch offers relaxing rural accommodation with organised horseriding activities for both guests and visitors. Guests with their own horses are welcome to bring them on holiday and experience a beachside horseriding holiday together. Tassiriki Ranch also offers "quality care for your horse" with short-term and long-term agistment available in both shared paddocks and private stables.

HORSE RIDING
At Tassiriki Ranch we offer a variety of horse riding activities suitable for nervous beginners through to intermediate riders. Our activities include relaxing escorted beach trail rides for couples, families, and small groups of friends, as well as horse awareness and riding lessons for beginners and safe led pony rides for younger children. You don't have to be staying at Tassiriki Ranch to participate in our horse riding activities, however, advance bookings are essential.
ESCORTED BEACH TRAIL RIDES
Relax and enjoy the pristine natural beauty of South Ballina Beach on an escorted beach trail ride. Prior to commencing your trail ride our experienced Trail Guides will match your riding ability with one of our well-educated trail riding horses. You will mount your horse in a secure fenced area and your guide will adjust the saddle for a perfect fit. Your guide will then brief you on horse control and the safety aspects of the ride. Then it's off to the beach!

Your trail ride leaves directly from the property passing through the cane fields and the coastal forest and down onto the beach. The ride then proceeds along the beach at a leisurely pace offering the opportunity to keep an eye out for dolphins playing in the waves, or even humpback whales splashing and spouting just off-shore (July-November). During the ride you will have the opportunity to walk your horse into shallow pools along the shoreline and trot and canter your horse along this beautiful beach (conditions apply). After your ride you are invited to enjoy complimentary refreshments and nibbles.

Our beach rides operate 7 days per week according to customer demand. Actual ride times will vary with the timing of low tide events in consideration of the threatened Pied Oystercatcher birds nesting on the beach.

ESCORTED COUPLES BEACH RIDES
Bring your partner and experience the fun and romance of horse riding along the beach. With horses that suit everyone's ability, you and your partner can feel the wind in you hair as you ride along these pristine beaches. Prior to commencing the ride our experienced Trail Guides will match your riding ability with one of our quiet trail horses then brief you on horse control, steering, stopping, and safety aspects. Then it's off to the beach! After your ride you are invited to stay for a chat and enjoy a complimentary liquid refreshment and nibbles.
