Our lovely team of trekking horses are waiting to take you on an unforgettable journey into the mountains.
We have handpicked the horses for their kind and gentle temperament and behavior both on the ground and under saddle.
There are a selection of ages, heights and horsanalities across the herd to cater for riders of differing weights and riding experience levels.
We use Syd Hill Half Breed saddles which are a cross between a western and Australian stock style saddle, so very comfortable for long distance riding, and very lightweight for the horses comfort. They have been fitted with monkey straps to the pommel (front of the saddle) for those who would like to hold on for extra stability. Also extra strapping to tie on extra clothing, camera cases etc.
We provide a one-on-one riding lesson with each rider before the trek departs to ensure riders are confident with how to steer and stop, although we do encourage the more humane loose rein style of riding so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery!
Beach Horse Trek at the Buses @ Barrytown, New Zealand
We are 12km south of Punakaiki, the home of the famous Pancake Rocks, in Barrytown. Barrytown Beach is over 10km long and the best Jade Hunting beach in New Zealand.
Enjoy the view of the beautiful Paparoa Mountains and when you are really lucky even the Southern Alpes.
We take the horses into the waves as they always like to have a splash or have a chat with the gold miners who are happy to share their knowledge and show you the sparkling gold in the sand. Don’t miss out on a beautiful West Coast experience.
Travel Vlog 8: Riding on the beach in Punakaiki beside pancake rocks
We left the amazing Punakaiki Beach Hostel and rushed to see the pancake rocks before the horse trekking. It was on the way and we had 5-10min. to go check it out. We made it, got some nice shots and were just 5min. late for the horses, which is nothing in the laid back NZ culture. We had an amazing experience in the NZ bush with Punakaiki Horse Trekking. I can definitely recommend this! We decided to leave for Motueka right after the horses and arrived first in the evening.
