Wild Country Gatherings
Good people. Open country. Genuine connection.
Some of the best friendships begin with a shared adventure. Two new social communities bring people together through a shared love of horses, the outdoors, good food and unforgettable experiences.
Think scenic trail rides, swags under the stars, outdoor cinema nights, campfire cooking with guest chefs and long evenings spent in good company. One gathering a month, from September to April. Come for one experience or join us throughout the season.
New faces are part of the point.
Enough room for real conversation.
Eight chances to make good memories.
Wild Country Women
Because sometimes, women just need to get a little wild!
A little less routine, a little more adventure, and a whole lot of good company. Wild Country Women is all about getting outdoors, letting your hair down and making memories with like-minded women. Think days in the saddle, nights around the campfire, good food, plenty of laughs and maybe a little mischief along the way.
Whether you're chasing adventure, new friendships or just an excuse to escape the everyday, this is your invitation to embrace your wild side.
Wild Country Men
Get out, get amongst it and have a bloody good time!
Wild Country Men is about good company, fresh air and a healthy dose of adventure. Think days in the saddle, nights around the campfire, cooking over an open flame, a bit of friendly banter and plenty of stories worth telling.
Whether you're keen to try something new, meet a few good blokes or just escape the everyday grind, this is your chance to get outdoors, have a laugh and enjoy the simple things.
No pressure, no expectations. Just good people, great adventures and a little bit of wild.
Share memorable experiences with like-minded people, discover a little more about yourself, and embrace the grounding, healing and restorative power of Country.
