Global Rider Review
In 2020 we were lucky enough to have Shawn Hamilton, global rider, international journalist, photographer ride with us.
Shawn came with a group of Women on the Wild Women Expeditions trail, Land of the Long White Cloud.
We so enjoyed sharing time together and hearing the tales from trails all over the world.
Sang the night away around the hut fire and made so many amazing memories together.
This was literally, just before Covid 19 change the world forever.

And lots of laughs and fun even on the long ride days.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Mountain Musterers Trek was really memorable. The scenery was impressive, the horses just amazing - giving the riders confidence and taking such good care of us. I loved staying in the character huts, appreciating the company, the laughs and the food. Mother Nature provided very varied conditions for us, giving me a range of challenges as well as providing some interesting terrain. An awesome experience.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just completed the Musterers Mountain trek - what an experience- it far exceeded expectations. A great way to see the Southern Alps - the horses were amazing. Thanks John, Angie and Kat for the experience. I will be back to do another one next year - SherrynPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a fantastic horseback adventure traversing the beautiful Southern Alps under the guidance of a great horseman John Wall and experienced wranglers. If you’re made of tough stuff, can ride a horse well and love being out in the wilds of nature … this is the adventure for you. Mountain ridges, beautiful tussock country, the original trails ridden by musterers over decades … this terrain is a true privilege over which to have access. Topping off the experience is the wonderful warm hospitality and yummy cooking by Angie. Totally recommend.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm 71 and have ridden all my life but have never experienced a ride like this, the horses were so amazing and we saw country only accessible on horseback or foot. Crossing braided rivers with snow covered mountains as a backdrop on a totally sure footed horse that calmly went wherever pointed was just the best experience. Learning to totally trust these beautiful horses was the best part of a totally awesome holidayPosted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful 5 days trekking Lake Hawea, Hunter Valley with Adventure Trekking. Angie and John are great hosts and work very hard to ensure we all have a great experience. The food, the scenery, horses and accommodation are all super, thank you.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved every minute of the four days I spent with John & Ange, an awesome group of like-minded riders, and their beautiful heard of horses, (and Tui the dog of course!). On the Birchwood Station trek we explored beautiful countryside and ate delicious meals, all prepared by Ange. I was very sad to leave but I am already planning my next trek - I'm hooked!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible adventure completing the Musterers Pack Trail from St Bathans to the Ahuriri Valley. We waded through rivers, crossed shingle slides, scaled mountains, stayed in back country huts and experienced a range of weather, all of which added to the journey. John our guide was amazing, a great host and an exceptional horseman. The horses were all stunning, obviously so well loved and cared for. Angie prepared delicious food for us to cook up in the huts and made us wonderful meals before and after our trek. I could not recommend this company enough if you want to experience an authentic horse trek in Central Otago.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Feel so privileged to be able to experience the NZ backcountry on horse-back. The horses are purpose bred, know their job and give you confidence to enjoy the scenery and this incredible experience. Wonderful hosts, stories and evening laughs. Loved it!!Posted on

Although I was born in the city (Liverpool) I was lucky enough to be raised in the stunning Cheshire countryside. My Brother Jeff and I lived wild and free and gained so many incredible life skills. We could not have wished for two more outstanding parents to guide us both.
Fast forward 36 years and we both made the incredible move across the world to Aotearoa NZ to live.
This is where I met John and began a wonderful journey creating our dreams. The Horses that we have bred are our children and we are so very proud of everything that they achieve each and every day.
There is not one single day that horses are not in the heart of everything we do. Arohanui Angie Aotearoa NZ
