About this activity
Itinerary
Join us for a two hour horse trek. See the spectacular mountain views of the Torlesse basin as you trek through the valley to the Otarama lookout point over the magnificent snow fed Waimakariri Canyon whilst riding through our high country farm.
Stop for refreshments and fantastic photo opportunities overlooking the Canyon before we ride down the terraces, following a musterers’ trail through the farmland.
This ride is suitable for all riding abilities and fitness but caters also for the more experienced riders with some opportunities for faster paced riding.
Chris usually leads this trek and he likes to keep groups small. We endeavour to keep groups to a maximum of six riders. But please note, if you have more than six in your group please contact us as we do have alternative options for larger size groups.
Please note riders must weigh less than 120kilos (2641bs), be a minimum of 12 years old and wear sturdy closed shoes(running shoes are ok).
All riders are required to sign a waiver prior to departing on the ride.
We provide safety helmets and they must be worn at all times when riding

It was only my second time on a horse and the tour guide was very patient. He was very helpful and knowledgable. The views are beautiful! Highly recommend if you want to see the incredible views in this part of Christchurch.
The tour guide is really knowledgeable and patient. The views are absolutely incredible! It was my first time horseback riding, and I was completely comfortable and relaxed. Chris does a wonderful job and it's obvious he cares about his horses as well as his riders. Definitely would recommend!
