While a quite a bit off the main roads, my partner and I were so glad to meet Sue for an intro to horse riding. Sue was motherly, enthusiastic, skilful and most impressively so well-informed on Queensland's farming industry and how animals farmed for edutainment purposes can also be treated with respect and dignity. Had great conversations while riding out in Wagners and learnt so much from our one road trip out away from the city. Thanks so much Sue!

Sue Fordsdale Farm Stay Adventure QLD Wow! What a holiday! Sues horse-riding adventure farm stay provided a fun and relaxing holiday in the country next to Ma Ma creek. Located on 1,000 acres in Fordsdale, it is an easy 1 hours from Brisbane. Our country adventure started with three small river crossings and an exciting 4WD climb up the mountain. At the end was a country oasis overlooking the luscious countryside surrounded by free roaming horses, cows, and goats. As inexperienced glampers we were thankful for the comfort provided in our spacious elevated glamping teepee tents with comfortable mattresses and cozy bedding. Our days were full of enjoying the best of a horse-riding experience and country lifestyle with guided trail rides around the property and through the Ma Ma creek, adventure riding with Sue in the properties Ute to collect firewood and the option of short trips into the Ma Ma creek, Toowoomba, or the surrounding area. The kids favorite part was the guided horse-riding. Simone (known as the queen of the paddock), Cricket and Poseidon became much loved companions. All with gentle natures, we felt at ease on our rides and enjoyed the adventure. While we were at the farm stay, we also met Zeus, the tiny, fluffy Shetland pony, with a big personality. He provided the animal petting component as the kids loved to stroke his main and give him lots of cuddles. A holiday for mum too, Sue kindly provides all meals, easily catering to our gluten free family. Relaxing cheese platers were consumed in the late afternoon whilst watching the sun set over the horizon, enjoying the warmth and serenity of the campfire. The kids loved roasting marshmallows after dinner, on carefully gathered sticks from the surrounding lantana. A supporter of the volunteer program, we were lucky to meet a young French back packer, who helped Sue tend to the animals, helped with the cleaning and played board games with the kids. A holiday to remember and one that was both action-packed, yet relaxing. Thanks Sue and the Fordsdale farm-stay for a great getaway. Written by Xavier, 8 and Maddie 6.
