πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Clara, Sienna, and Tancy photograph the ride mid-canter without breaking stride. Fran's Clydesdale House was described as 'forward, honest, and never spooked' - that says everything about how the horses are kept and prepared.

β€œWe had the incredible opportunity to embark on a one-hour trek, and it was nothing short of spectacular! My partner and I absolutely loved riding the Clydesdales; they were so relaxed and perfectly matched our vibe. Clara and Taela were simply fantastic! Their professionalism combined with an easy-going approach made the experience truly enjoyable. They were incredibly approachable and reassuring, making us feel at ease throughout the trek. What truly impressed us was their in-depth knowledge of each horse. It gave us confidence that we were in expert hands, and we felt a strong connection with these majestic animals. Thank you, Clara and Taela, for a wonderful experience! We will definitely consider you for future adventures and recommend you to everyone we know! You’ve made our day unforgettable!”

β€œAbsolutely loved riding here! I’ve been taking weekly English riding lessons over the past two years and the 2 hr Intermediate Horse Trek was the perfect opportunity to practice trotting and short canters outside of the arena. Our guide Clara was so kind and talented, she happily offered to take photos and videos (while cantering 🀯) and took great care of me on the trail. The horses were clearly loved and well trained. I rode a sweet Clydesdale named House who was absolutely solid - forward, honest, and never spooked during the ride. I felt very safe and happy throughout the experience πŸ₯° Thank you Clara and House!”

β€œReally great experience from start to finish. They taught us first-time riders how to control the horses, and our group got exactly what we requested, including the chance to ride beautiful Clydesdales. I had the pleasure of riding the big, beautiful Duke (who was very calm and a good boi), and the ride along the beach and through the forest was unforgettable. The complimentary photos were such a thoughtful touch and really helped us keep these memories forever. A beautiful way to end our last day in New Zealand.”
