It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Graham Forge.

Graham passed away unexpectedly on Sunday in unforeseen circumstances. As a family, we are coming to terms with this tremendous loss and taking time to process and grieve together.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone for the kind words, love, and support that have already been extended to us. Your thoughtfulness means more than we can express.

Please understand that messages and calls may not be replied to immediately, but we will respond in due course.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and compassion during this deeply difficult time.

Lastly, if anyone has any photographs of Graham that they would be willing to share with us could you please send them by DM to this page by Saturday evening.

Yep, that’s right! 2025 Droving trip dates are out and if you’re in the know- you’ll know that this doesn’t last long before its full!

Join Us for an Unforgettable Droving Adventure in the Mountains!
Dates:
• November 22nd–28th
• December 6th–12th
7 days in the saddle!
Come and experience the thrill of droving as we walk a mob of cattle down through the mountains starting at the foothills of Mount Buffalo across to Rose River and down the King Valley to our home block at Oxley. Whether we’re bringing them down from the peaks in November or taking them back up in December, you’ll be part of a team that quickly becomes family.
Your days will be spent riding—either your own horse or one of Forges’ trusted mounts—across rolling hills and stunning countryside. Along the way, we’ll treat you to delicious homemade meals and give you the chance to meet new people who will become lifelong friends. You'll be learning new skills for both you and your horse, while playing an essential role in moving the cattle through the valley.
Evenings are spent around the campfire, under the canopy of beautiful trees, sipping your favourite beverage, reminiscing about the day, and having a good laugh. You’ll camp in comfort, with your vehicle or setup transported to camp each night. A quick fish or swim is always on the cards before tea!
For your comfort, we’ve got a portable toilet that follows us each day, perfect for breaks, and at camp, a hot shower trailer with a dry change room to freshen up at the end of each day.
There’s nothing more rewarding than droving those few hundred head of cattle through the last gate on the final day. Trust us, the satisfaction is second to none. We’d love for you to be part of it!
Pricing:
• Own horse: $2500
• Horse supplied: $3200

Droving to the USA weekends complete ✅

We were slightly hesitant to run a weekend in the hills to drove our cattle in the cold but we were quickly reminded that no matter how cold the nights get, there are always riders keen to get amongst the action!❄️
This resulted in us running 2 consecutive weekends, which worked out perfectly for us as we needed to get both mobs around to Rose River 🐂

We are wholeheartedly so grateful to have all these riders come along and support Tup in her dream to get to the world finals in the USA 🇺🇸 All of you have made such a big difference!🙏🏽

Everyone had such a great time, the nights got chilly but with a combination of good fires, warm pumpkin soup on the road and some sun - what more could we ask for?🔥☀️
