Burn the breeze

Having trouble finding a riding experience that delivers more than the standard Two Hour Horse ride?

Ridden before, and feel you are up to more?

You are an experienced rider who would love to get out and explore some new country on a horse that is going to move along and you won’t feel restricted by others.

Time to mount up for a Half Day Horse Trek.

This horse trek entails approximately 3 hours on horse back. You take on more demanding trails than our shorter rides. While riding you explore the foothills of a major local landmark known as Pukeokahu (Hill of the Hawk).

This trail ride also gives you the opportunity to experience views of Mt Ruapehu and the northern Ruahine ranges, and incorporates stopping at some spectacular viewing points overlooking the Rangitikei River canyon.

The Trouble is, the whole idea of an organised horse trek

However the problems are, the whole idea of an organised horse trek with quite likely people who cannot sit a saddle, and maybe too many of them, and the whole time at a walk, does absolutely nothing for you.

You want to travel reasonably quickly, get a few chances to move faster than a trot, and check out some great scenery. Add to that you learnt to ride in a certain riding style, and don’t want to have to put up with a Western saddle if you ride English, and vice versa.

And will the horses have more life than a old nag? (nothing against old nags which are a great animal in their place).

Reasonable Requests are they Not?

Reasonable request is it not – move quickly, great scenery, no beginners, good horse, and the right saddle? Not asking too much are you?
