Because freedom
still exists.

Mountain Horses Outfitters runs on the edge of the St James Conservation Area — seventy-eight thousand hectares of alpine valleys, braided rivers and tussock that rolls out further than you can ride in a day.

This isn’t a paddock loop dressed up for tourists. It’s the real high country: packhorse expeditions over alpine passes, river crossings, natural hot springs you soak in under a sky thick with stars. We open up places most people never reach.

We bring the horses, the camp, the cooking and the know-how earned over years guiding from New Zealand to Montana. You bring the willingness to go where the roads don’t.
