Iv been on a few horse treks in NZ, but this one far outweighs them all! Chris was a brilliant instructor and helped my husband who has never ridden a horse learn to ride well. My husband absolutely loved it. Such beautiful scenery too!

We loved our stop at this sheep farm which was included a part of the TranzAlpine day long tour. The farm owners Trevor and Heather gave us such a fascinating look at their farm and farm life, including a sheep shearing and mustering demonstration. We enjoyed learning about the various wools and their processing. We also appreciated the tea and cookies and made purchases at their small shop of sweaters and woolens. After traveling through New Zealand we wished we had shopped more at the farm.
