General Information

About Our Treks

  • Who Our Treks Are For: Our treks are for intermediate to advanced riders who love riding well-trained, responsive horses. You should be comfortable spending several hours in the saddle and confident in all paces, including posting trot, two-point canter, and gallop.

  • Payment: We don’t have EFTPOS or Credit Card facilities. Please pay in cash, via bank transfer or PayPal.

  • Weight Limit: Our Arabian horses are smaller, so the rider weight limit is between 70kg and 80kg.

  • Group Size: We can accommodate a maximum of 4 riders.

  • Gear: We provide helmets, boots, chaps, and gloves. Please wear comfortable long trousers and sturdy shoes or riding boots (if you have).

  • Sizing and Skill: We’ll need your height, weight, and an honest assessment of your riding skill to pair you with the right horse. If you’re unsure, check our riding experience levels below.

  • Weather: We may cancel rides if the weather isn’t suitable.

  • What to Bring: Don’t forget your camera and a sense of humour!
