About Equathon Horse Riding
Equathon Horse Riding is an award-winning horseback riding tour operator offering beach rides on Noosa North Shore, hinterland trail rides through the Cootharaba countryside, and multi-day riding adventures across the Sunshine Coast. Founded by Australian triple Olympian Alex Watson and his wife Rebecca, the operation brings an elite level of horsemanship to every tour while keeping the experience relaxed and accessible for riders of all abilities.
Their most popular experience is the private beach ride along Teewah Beach on Noosa North Shore — guests ferry across the river and saddle up for an unforgettable ride along one of Queensland's most pristine stretches of coastline. Hinterland rides head through the rolling green hills around Cootharaba, spotting kangaroos, wallabies, and native birdlife along the way. For committed riders, Equathon runs week-long trail riding adventures covering the length of the Sunshine Coast with overnight camp stays.
Equathon was named Queensland Adventure Tour Operator of the Year at the state tourism awards and has been ranked in the top 15 horse riding tours in the world by CNN International. The combination of Olympic-level horse care, stunning Noosa landscapes, and genuinely personal service makes this one of the most highly regarded riding experiences in Australia.
