Take a Peep in2 our World of Horses
There are so many things that we as a company do each day to achieve the end result, creating your dream horseback holiday.
We thought that you would like to share in those moments. As you are actually one of the team.
Our team has a lot of fun while we work hard so share in some of our fun times and some of our sad times.
Together they make the whole.
Team work makes the dream work

Do you live sustainably?
John and I love to grow our own fruit and vegetables it is one of our great passions.
Although, I have to say, we both have very different styles of gardening.
John loves everything in rows, no weeds allowed.
I am a combination planter, herbalist who embraces the chaos of Mother Nature.
It doesn’t matter how you do it, just have a go and feel the incredible feeling of eating your own homegrown produce.
Much of the food we produce in our gardens is threaded into the menus on our trails.
Paddock to plate.
Garden to plate-sustainable living NZ
Laughter is a Great Healer
There is always time to chat on the trails as we ride along.
I just love the sounds of laughter ringing out in the mountains as we ride.
Lunchtime we always try to stop somewhere beautiful so that the guests and crew can enjoy the locations we ride.
Tie the horses up and share the funny stories that life has dealt us all.
My Dad says, “better to laugh than cry” and boy is that wee statement so true.
Barbecue Buddies
If this barbecue at the Birchwood Homestead could talk it would tell a few stories!
So many wonderful times we have spent by this barby or just inside the huge kitchen next to it.
Every Kiwi Bloke knows it is their job to do the barby food, yes, it is a tradition here.
Notice the oven gloves draped strategically over the shoulder, this is to let everyone know, he’s the chef in charge.
Orders flow continuously, get this, where’s that, carry this, they honestly never end.

Laid the table
Organized the pudding
It really is wonderful to have this “home from home” where we can totally showcase our amazing NZ South Island.
The location is breathtaking, steeped in history and filled with incredible tales from the high country.
