A relaxed paced horse trek through beautiful farmland to the shores of Moke Lake...

Highlights

Easy grade terrain and walking pace - perfect for beginners, families and children
Beautiful Queenstown back country ride surrounded by rugged mountains and local farm animals
Ride through slow moving rivers and along the shores of Moke Lake
Safety ensured with hand picked horses and comfortable saddles fitted with a special safety stirrup
Experienced and supportive accompanying guide

Meet our friendly horses and saddle up for a trek across our working farm to the beautiful Moke lake, located just 20 minutes from central Queenstown.

Our relatively flat ride trail is set beneath high rugged mountains, through fresh water rivers leading us to the shores of Moke Lake - a picturesque lake often missed by the tourist crowds.

All riders will get up close and personal to the farm animals such as the Merino sheep, Angus cattle, Paradise ducks and local birdlife making the experience even more surreal.

We cross many slow moving fresh water rivers and streams before reaching Moke Lake where you will be blown away by its beauty - especially on a clear day.

This ride is perfect for beginners and families with younger children, our well trained horses and experienced guides will look after each and every rider to make them feel safe and comfortable along the way.

All of our horses are fitted with soft freeform endurance style saddles providing a comfortable ride for both the rider and the horse. So come along and explore the farm and Moke Lake for yourself!

Great Scenery

I took my partner along and it was great for him, it was a lovely hack with great scenery. If I were to go alone I would love to go on the 2 hour ride for experienced riders. The horses were well behaved and our guide was friendly. Captain was great to ride and Reno looked after my partner well. Thankyou :-)

Wow!

Definetly worth the experience! Scenery of the lake was amazing. But if you are used to farming environemt the farmland scenery is a bit underwhelming at times. Lovely people to ride with. Being at the back you sort of feel segregated maybe would have been nice to have a guide at the back.
