Gallivant through breath taking scenery on horseback during this two-hour horse trail just 20 minutes north of Christchurch. Once settled onto your horse, you'll follow your guide out to the backcountry and ride along a diverse range of terrain, including luscious woodland areas and open green spaces. You'll then head along the riverbed before crossing the cool, blue waters of the Waimakariri River, often the highlight of the ride for many. Photo opportunities are aplenty during the ride, with a gorgeous backdrop on offer in all seasons, including snow-peaked mountains in the winter. Your riding ability sets the tone for the ride, and if there are beginners in the group, you'll be split into groups so that everyone can ride safely.
