Stay With Your Horse Near Scone Horse Festival
Scone Horse Festival — Festival — polo, campdraft, racing, rodeo, at Various venues around Scone, Scone, Upper Hunter. Typically May each year, usually running about ten days.
Scone calls itself the Horse Capital of Australia, and for around ten days each May the Upper Hunter fills up to prove it — polo, campdraft, the Scone Cup races, rodeo and street events pull competitors and their horses in from all over the eastern states. Local motels book out months ahead, and most of them can't take a horse anyway.
That's where a farm stay wins: yards or a paddock for the horses, a real bed for you, and you're on the doorstep of the festival instead of floating in from an hour away each morning. The Upper Hunter is thoroughbred country, so properties with proper horse facilities are the norm rather than the exception.
