9.30am to 1:30pm
Travel by air-conditioned minibus to Living Legends - home to some favourite retired champion race horses such as Santa Ana Lane, Silent Witness, Apache Cat, Brew, Efficient, Twilight Payment, Redkirk Warrior (GB), Peniaphobia (IRE), Tom Melbourne, Fawkner and Almandin plus recent additions include Gailo Chop, Pakistan Star, Rattan, Behemoth and Johnny Get Angry plus many more. Enjoy the opportunity to meet, pat and feed the horses and talk to the stable hands that care for them.
Living Legends is part of Woodlands Park and is modelled closely on the Home of Rest for Horses in the United Kingdom. Like the Home of Rest, they aim to support equine research, education and training to benefit horses of all ages and breeds. Special emphasis, however, is given to the care of older horses.
While there, relax in the beautiful, historic homestead of Woodlands Historic Park with a delicious Devonshire Tea and take some time to explore the on-site museum before travelling back to your cruise ship or hotel.
The perfect day for a horse-lover short on time…
*Horses at Living Legends are occasionally sent out to 'work' on modelling jobs or media shoots, therefore we cannot always guarantee the horse you most want to meet will be ‘home’.
