A High Country Enchantment is a full day horse trek over Northern Rangitikei hill country terrain. The horses you will ride are trained using natural horsemanship techniques. The horses are ridden without steel bits and without steel shoes, in other words barefoot. When you book you will be asked for your weight and height so a good match from the herd can be found for you. Please note, this is a ride for intermediate to advanced riders. You need to be a confident rider in all gaits. This ride is NOT suitable for beginners or novices. Before leaving the Stables your guide will explain some of the nuances of riding using, what for many riders, are unfamiliar techniques. The guide will also offer advice and help during the day. The ride itself traverses hill country farmland with sweeping views of the Ruahine Ranges and Mt. Ruapehu. A packed lunch is included. You finish your day back at River Valley Stables where you started from.
