Ride along a beautiful sandy beach and on windy tracks through pine forest at the northern outskirts of Christchurch. Experience riding an Icelandic Horse- their special gait "tölt" is extremely comfortable and relaxing!
This is "Rural New Zealand Icelandic Horse Treks" by starmedianz on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.
We offer rides from 1 to 2.5 hours in small groups of up to 5 persons. All riding levels are catered for and one beginner per ride can be taken on a lead rope. The riding tempo is adjusted to suit the level of the riders.
Icelandic Horses are small but they are very strong and can easily carry even heavy adults. They have a friendly nature and are relaxed and easy to handle. On all our horses you can enjoy the special gait called "tölt" which is unique to Icelandic Horses. It is about as fast as trot, but much more comfortable to ride.
Opening hours are flexible and bookings are essential as the departure times vary depending on the tides. Our business is located close to Spencer Park Camping Ground and 20 minutes from the city centre.
