EXPERIENCE

The Rhythm of your Horse’s Gait | Flockhill Horse Riding

An early settler was once reported describing New Zealand as “the Wild West but greener”. Cowboy up and find out for yourself.

Saddle up and venture into our picturesque wilderness with our expert guides. Whether you’re a novice or an experienced rider, we cater to all skill levels, ensuring you get the most from your ride. Traverse and be immersed in the beauty of the surrounding scenery, exploring the station from a unique vantage point.


There's No Limit to Your Experience

While we've listed our favourites, Flockhill provides horse trekking journeys that cater to a range of abilities. 

If you’re nervous or just want to feel better about getting on a horse, then come and spend time with our guide and their horses on our Equine Introduction. Become comfortable with them on the ground before a gentle ride around flat swamplands. This ride provides the time it takes to make you feel comfortable- it’s designed to build confidence for new riders.

The Nomans Land Trek is our signature ride and a guest favourite loop. Designed to suit most abilities, you'll experience unbeatable views, stock spotting, riding over hills and easy river crossings.

For Our More Experienced and Confident Riders

The Snow Tussock, Rosa Hutt, and Coal Mine Trek are half and full day activities that cater to keen riders with experience. Deer sightings may happen as you ride amongst the snow tussocks or along streams. Visit historic buildings on site and hear stories of the station that have been passed down through shepherds and miners. These rides offer the opportunity to canter and gallop your horse, and options to add on premium picnics or a private chef to cook for you during your journey.
