Advice for riding comfort - The weather in the mountains in the summer is generally fine and mild. However summer heat waves and blizzards do happen occasionally, so be prepared. A tight knit jumper or good quality polar fleece, thermal underwear or skivvies provide that extra insulation when needed. Your sleeping bag must be very good quality. We have sleeping bags for hire. Jeans need soft inner leg seams. Cotton tights underneath reduce rubbing for novice or occasional riders. Boots should be rubber soled and suited to both riding and camping conditions. A 4WD will meet you mid tour, so bring an overnight bag with a change of clothes. Also bring casual clothes for our post tour dinner. Inclusions - Bogong Horseback Adventures provide all meals as per the itinerary, a beer and table wines of an evening, group camping equipment, saddlery, communications and first-aid. We supply helmets and a limited number of oilskins free of charge. Your clothes are packed in stuff bags provided by us and your bedding in canvas rolls provided by us. We also provide thermarest mattress, small pillows, Alpine tents and Swags. Be mindful that packhorse travel does require limits on weight and volume. We cannot carry bulky swags, extra bedding, large bottles of soft drink, spare boots and other bulky heavy goods.
