"Horse Trekking" - We struggle a little with this term as it is often used to describe a bunch of old, tired and bored horses going over exactly the same route day after day. Rest assured, this is not the experience that you will get. The route taken is varied daily, keeping horses and guides alert and interested. In addition our horses are well fed ensuring they have a bit of extra energy - though not too much we hope!

Australian stock saddles are used, which are like a cross between an English and a Western saddle. This type of saddle is comfortable and secure, giving a good smooth ride.

Riding trails wind their way through patches of bush, and over New Zealand central North Island hill country farmland. Each corner seems to open up a new vista of incredible beauty.

Oilskin overcoats, helmets, and on cool days gloves, are provided. The only thing you need to bring is your camera and lotsa smiles.
