The wilderness horse trial was conducted to assess the appropriateness of horse riding in wilderness areas. 

This framework was develop d to:

  • detect impacts on key park values as a result of horse riding on pilot wilderness trails during the trial
  • define maximum levels of impact above which management actions would be needed to protect key values from irreversible damage and inform park managers of activities that cause this level of disturbance
  • determine whether management actions ensure key values are protected from irreversible damage and when these should stop.
