Not for our day rides — the horses are calm and we start slow, covering the basics before we leave the gate. Our overnight trips are private, so the guide sets the pace to you: the easy hot-springs nights suit complete first-timers, while the four-day Fowlers Circuit rewards fitness and saddle confidence. Keen, fit beginners are welcome on the bigger trips too — just tell us and we will make it work.

Long trousers, sturdy closed shoes or boots, a warm layer and a waterproof jacket. We supply helmets and tack. For overnights you bring a sleeping bag (or rent one from us) and personal layers.

Day rides suit almost everyone. The Fowlers Circuit is physically and mentally demanding across remote, self-supported terrain — moderate-to-good fitness and saddle confidence required.

Yes — for safety and for the horses’ welfare, every ride and expedition has a minimum rider age of 10 and a maximum rider weight of 110 kg. If you’re near the weight limit, or riding with younger children, get in touch and we’ll talk through the options.

Expeditions are private — just you and your crew, no strangers along. Day rides are kept small and personal too.

Canvas tipi tents with portable wood stoves and sleeping mats provided. No built facilities out there — water comes fresh from the mountain creeks.

We ride year-round and route around conditions. Alpine weather changes fast and nights can drop near 0°C even in summer, so warm layers matter. Routing may shift after rain — your guide makes the call.

Helmets are mandatory while riding. Guides are first-aid trained and carry satellite communications, and helicopter evacuation is available for emergencies.

Bookings and payments run securely through WeTravel. Pick a journey on our Book page, or send an enquiry and we’ll help you choose the right trip first.

Yes — we accommodate dietary requirements (applied to the whole group on shared trips). Just let us know in advance.
