Our Story
Blazing
Saddles began operation on 19th May 1997.
Proprietors Michael and Venette
Trout , both very experienced horse handlers, relocated their
half-day horse riding adventures from
Mungalli Falls on the Atherton Tablelands, to Palm
Cove which is an incredibly beautiful and diverse place
only 20 minutes north of Cairns.
Recently on the 20th December 2005 they have moved again to a bigger
and better ranch just west of Kuranda
west of Cairns.
A small family company starting out with only 20 trail horses
has now blossomed into a totally professional
outfit with over 60 horses and more than 16 staff members.
Our
horses are selected individually for their gentle
nature and we have a wonderful choice of trail safe horses
to suit any level, any size and (almost) any age. In fact we take
riders as young as 4 years of age.
Following
the success of our horse riding tours, Blazing Saddles diversified
into a Outback and rainforest adventure
of another kind using ATV's (stands for All Terrain Vehicles) which
are 4 wheel motor bikes also called Quad bikes. They began life
as bubble wheeled farm vehicles but have been re-invented as the
hottest new outdoor recreation vehicle in the world! It's no wonder
as they are excellent fun!
In November 1998, we began the operation of 10 All
Terrain Vehicles. Since this time we have expanded to cater
for an amazing 30 ATV adventure seekers
per tour.
While
we are able to cater for large groups, generally our tours are
conducted in more manageable, and fun,
numbers of between 6 and 12 riders (sometimes even less for the
ATV's).
So
whether you are totally inexperienced, or an ATV expert or horse
rider extraordinaire, what more perfect way to experience Tropical
North Queensland then to immerse yourself in our beautiful rainforest
aboard the transport of your choice.
