Great experience

This was our first time house riding (myself and my 2 children). We wanted to do something different this time around in Queenstown but we're slightly nervous whether one of us would freak out 😀 We needn't worry. The guides explained the ropes very well and they matched the horses to reach person. We felt very safe and enjoyed the ride. Highly recommend this experience to people of all abilities.

Great experience!

- Great first horse trekking experience - A little hard to find the exact place, car park sign was super small so we parked at the designated car park space instead of right where the barn was - the horses were definitely very well trained as would follow the leader horse whilst trekking and would not go astray - saddle on horse was comfortable - views were absolutely amazing

Hi Thi, thank you for taking the time to write us a review, we appreciate it! You have the precise gps location on your confirmation email, but you can park anywhere on the campsite, that's fine. We hope to see you again next time :)

Amzing

First time riding on the back of a horse and the experience was amazing. The scene was beautiful on a sunny day and it does give you that outback country kinda vibe. The staff there was awesome which help the riding experience more pleasant. They do take alot of bathroom break though so be mindful 🐴😂

Hi Van, thanks for your amazing review. Just to clarify for the future readers : the horses take a lot of bathroom breaks, not the staff haha!! We hope to see you again :)
