Gippsland riders keen to experience dining at a pub with their horse

While some people might bring their dog to a cafe, some Gippsland locals are taking their horses to the pub.

When Tinamba Hotel owner Simon Johnson fielded a call from a customer asking if their group could bring their horses along to dinner, he thought "why not?".

"Pubs traditionally used to have horses out the front all the time, but it's not something we've had in our time at Tinamba," Mr Johnson said.

"[But] we're always open to wanting to create new dining experience for our guests."

The group rode their horses along a nearby rail trail to the pub before enjoying their evening meal, reins in hand.
