Do this with your children. What you won’t see is seeing your child put on a horse and lead around a paddock.

Do this with your children. What you won’t see is seeing your child put on a horse and lead around a paddock. What you will see, is your child riding their own horse, making an essential connection on their own, and feeling a sense of freedom they’ve never had before. This was an amazing experience for us as a family, and also as individuals. All beginners, and all feeling empowered along the way. Thank you so much Kel and Ris.This is a wonderful 1.5 hour horse ride including a little lesson at the start of how to ride the horses.

This is a wonderful 1.5 hour horse ride including a little lesson at the start of how to ride the horses. The scenery was stunning and the ride included crossing a river (twice!) and some trots. We were even lucky enough to meet (and maybe accidentally herd) some cows! Sam was very patient with all of us, informative and even took some great photos of us all at the same time! They have a beautiful welcoming committee that includes a cat and 2 dogs (the cat does not give you an option). Also a tip: well worth it to go to the Cardrona Hotel for breakfast before the trek.Wicked trek - Sam catered to our different skill sets with ease (and so did our steeds Angus and Pat). Thoroughly enjoyed the journey, scenery and bits of history scattered in. Amazing photos, thank you so much! Thanks also to Mikayla!

Awesome way to start the day. Felt so lucky to horse trekking in the stunning Cardrona Valley. It was definitely one of the best ride that we have done. Sun was shinning which made the ride even more enjoyable. It wasn’t boring at all, even for beginners. We had few river crossing, met some sheep along the way and explored stunning sceneries, up and down hill. We also did several brillant trots and canters. Horses were gentle and well trained. Sam our guide welcomed us and looked after us very well. She’s well organised and professional. Sheds and equipment are well looked after. Everything was spotless. Thank you Sam and her Team for the awesome experience. We would recommend anyone to do this activity if you wanna take some high and immerse yourself in History and Nature.Amazing experience. We had Sam as a guide and she was such a sweet one. She explained everything about the horses and everyone felt comfortable and safe even tho some of us never have been on a horse.

My 7 year old daughter and I did this ride last year she and I both enjoyed it so much I promised her we would be back. We had Sam as our guide this time and she was just great!! She made us fell comfortable and really at home. The horses are well cared for, have wonderful temperaments and our trek was so much fun. Sam is knowledgeable about the place, the horses, and is a fab person to have as a guide. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anybody who is just a beginner through to experienced riders. With the professionalism of the trek and the breathtaking views this is an activity not to be missed. Thanks team, another great experience and one that will keep Maddi and I coming back.
