Learn how we train our horses using natural horsemanship techniques, and why we ride our horses bit-less and barefoot.
Then, explore the beautiful back country of rural New Zealand as you ride over hills and across private farmland.
This fast paced ride is only suitable for those who have riding experience (must be confident at all paces), and ideal for those who want to learn more about natural horsemanship or try freestyle riding.
This is a half-day ride that moves along, exploring longer trails, with lots of opportunities to canter your horse over the spectacular Rangitikei hill country. At River Valley Stables we practice natural horsemanship and ride our horses freestyle. We start with building a trusting relationship between you and your horse. Next we take you and your horse, who is now your partner, out into the beautiful countryside. Here you will have the opportunity to try everything you learn’t beforehand. You will be riding over the hills, taking in the spectacular scenery, and cantering through the fields. At River Valley Stables we offer rides for riders, and so this ride is only suitable for people who have some previous riding experience and are confident riding at all paces.
