I am thrilled to bring you this new rustic option for the Lyford to Hanmer Ride. I have had many enquiries for this trip to Hanmer, but the luxury option has been a bit expensive, so we have put this together. Not only is it a new budget option but we have researched a new route, which is longer, higher and more impressive. I would have fallen on the ground if I hadn’t been on my horse at some places!!

Heather Binns Story – Riding at Mt. Lyford

This is one story, that I posted a year ago! Thanks Heather. Here is a link to the story and a snippet! I am posting it again as I prepare a Riders’ Stories section.

Our New Zealand Trek – November 2007

This was the day of our ‘big trek’. After grooming, saddling, and ground work we mounted and rode up the hill to Crystal Lake. We rode over alpine meadows, through pine forests and took in the fantastic views which were quite magical with the fresh snow. We had lunch at Crystal Lake, enjoyed chatting about ‘life’ in general and had some good ‘girl’ talk. We then had to walk the horses down the rough road for a short while, gave them a drink at the creek and then started our journey home.
