Scenic Hills Riding Ranch - Agistment
Scenic Hills provides agistment to people from all over the Sydney area. Our facilities include: sheltered areas, picnic tables, BBQ facilities, horse wash bays, sand arena, round yard, farriers and a few stables.
Agistment horses are fed everyday and are rounded up on Saturday mornings and brought into closer yards. On Sunday the herd is split into two herds again, mid-weekers and weekenders. Owners have use of the facilities 7 days a week during daylight hours (until 7pm during daylight savings). Scenic Hills also have a drenching program (click on our services page for more information).
