TrustedHousesitters, a global pet and house sitting platform, is the perfect option for Australian horse lovers looking to get out of the city seeking a tranquil experience on a property looking after beautiful horses.
By signing up for a yearly membership of just $99, TrustedHousesitters members have access to thousands of pet and house sits all year round and we've rounded up the best equine-friendly properties locally and internationally from Victoria's Snowy River, to a cosy country farm stay in Queensland, or across the pond to a knee-tapping rodeo ranch in California.
