The Saddle Club – Filmed in Victoria

THE SADDLE CLUB IS A CHILDREN’S TELEVISION SERIES BASED ON THE BOOKS WRITTEN BY BONNIE BRYANT AND IS AN AUSTRALIA/CANADA CO-PRODUCTION.

Like the book series, the scripted live action series follows the lives of three teenage girls in training to compete in equestrian competitions at the fictional Pine Hollow Stables, while dealing with problems in their personal lives.

The series revolves around the experiences of three girls, who form a club named “The Saddle Club” after recognizing their shared love for horse riding.

The popular ABC series “The Saddle Club” was partly filmed on our Victorian property over an 8 month period in 2007 .

THE SADDLE CLUB – FILMED AT DAYLESFORD

In 2007, filming at Porcupine Ridge Estate for the series was performed over an 18 month period when the stables and Eliza’s barn were purpose built.  The Estate has many memories of cast and crew enjoying themselves. You can almost hear the girls laughing in the stables! We are able to arrange horse-riding tours and your personal ‘Saddle Club’ experience around our property.

There is no better way to see the stunning beauty of our area than to see a collation of The Saddle Club videos with the backdrop of the gorgeous Wombat Forest and Macedon Ranges in Central Victoria and, of course, our own Porcupine Ridge Estate. The stables and barn as you seem them here are available for wedding venues and weekend stays. Enjoy!

In Australia the show has spawned a successful children’s brand with categories including fashion and accessories, toys, website, live events, music, publishing and DVDs. Besides Australia, The Saddle Club is broadcast in Europe and North America, and is the longest running and most rotated show on the USA’s Discovery Kids TV.

Visitors love to see the barn, stables, riding areas and trails where it all happened. You can enjoy trail rides in the Wombat Forest and take in the magnificent views around the Macedon Ranges.

A weekend at Porcupine Ridge Estate in Daylesford is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in this setting and discover the  magic of the area.
