I picked the Rees River ride as I am an experienced rider. I also chose to ride in the South Island rather than in the North because of the scenery. However, I was disappointed not because of the location or the horses or High Country...More

Only reason it's not a 5 is because we didn't get to trot much or canter at all - as very experienced riders that was disappointing but it was because the other people in our group were complete novices - they should have a ride...More
