While enjoying the beauty of Rangitikei, you will learn all the basic skills of Natural Horse Training. All riding, instruction, deluxe accommodation and meals are included. This trip is not suitable for beginner riders.
In our many years operating a professional Trekking business, we have noticed a clear thirst for more on the rider's part. The more they are able to ride and learn, the better!
