Come and experience the breathtaking scenery from horseback, of the panoramic views of Mt Ruapehu to the south, northeast to the Kaimais, and west to Mt Pirongia. Ride through open paddocks, over rolling hills, ridge and river riding, and through bush-clad tracks all on a ride personally tailored to meet your needs, whether it be for one hour, or a whole day.
For the thrill seekers among you, we have downhill rides that would make the Man from Snowy River quake. By the time you have reached the bottom, you will know how to ride!
Our horses are all fit, keen and sure-footed, and all well experienced in handling the terrain. We have horses to suit children and adults, both experienced and those who have never ridden before.
We can cater for larger groups of 20 or more, and can combine your horse riding experience with canoeing on our extensive purpose-built farm lake (check out our TrueNZ listing for canoeing here).
During the summer months we also have twilight/moonlight treks - enjoy riding alongside our glorious glow-worms!
