Reiten in den Bergen

Es war ein richtig schönes Erlebnis. Meine beste Freundin und ich haben das Lächeln nicht mehr aus dem Gesicht bekommen! Die Gruppe war super und auch die „Vorbereitung“ und der Weg echt toll. Alles in allem also ein traumhaftes Erlebnis und ich würde es dort immer wieder buchen! Super nette Leute, die alle sehr hilfsbereit sind! Danke nochmal für die schönen zwei Stunden!

Tolle Erfahrunf

War ein sehr schöner Ausflug. Die Pferde sind sehr gepflegt und werden gut behandelt. Ihr Wohl steht dort definitiv im Mittelpunkt. Wir waren alle Anfänger, sodass es eher ruhig und langsam zu ging. Habe mich jederzeit wohl und sicher gefühlt. Die Pferde sind sehr gut trainiert. Die Kulisse beim Reiten war unglaublich schön.

Wunderschöner Ausritt im frischen Schnee

Der Ausritt mit Back Country Sattels war ein Highlight auf unserer Reise durch Neuseeland. Die Pferde sind super lieb und der Ausritt war in wunderschöner und abwechslungsreicher Natur. Außerdem wurde uns alles wunderbar erklärt. Der Ausritt ist somit super für Anfänger und Fortgeschrittene.
