Horse Shepherd Walking Tours
Enjoy a fun and informative walk in the country meeting rescued horses, donkeys and ponies. Walks cover about two and a half kilometres, depending on where the animals are, and take around one and a half to two hours, with lots of stops along the way. Whilst Horse Shepherd are not a petting zoo, you will have a chance to interact with the animals if they choose.
Please come along and check out the cheeky goats and ponies. You might be lucky enough to see the peacocks fanning their tails and the turkeys dancing in time to the honking of the geese. Morrie the sheep is sure to make an appearance and there may even be a llama or two lurking on the hillside.
Please note that Horse Shepherd is a working farm so there will be mud and puddles in winter, heat and dust in summer and horses moving about in the care of the wonderful staff.
Unfortunately due to the number of animals at the Sanctuary, they are unable to accommodate pets.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities.
These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.
We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years.
As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
