We have a variety of breeds of varying heights - thoroughbreds and station cross breds. All are well schooled and cared for by a team of dedicated horsemen and women. You'll be matched to a horse most suitable to your riding experience and ability.

4. I have been riding for 35 years, can I canter?

Yes, experienced riders will be offered plenty of opportunites to canter and others the chance to learn, however a certain level of safety has to be respected.

5. Do I need to wear a riding helmet?

Yes. Every client is provided with protective head gear which must be worn at all times during the ride for your own safety.

6. What will the weather be like?

Riding conditions in Glenorchy are generally good, invariably dry and sunny, however the weather can change rapidly so be prepared.

7. Will I get wet crossing the rivers on the ride?

Not intentionally. The guides will always test the river crossings and lead groups across the rivers. If in doubt an alternative route will be taken.

8. Should I bring my camera?

Yes, you are welcome to bring your camera along. Glenorchy and the surrounding areas are stunning! However you take your camera on rides at your own risk - we do cross rivers on several occasions.

 

We look forward to meeting you!
