β€œWe went for a ride today and it was a magical moment. It was our very first time on a horse and we had no prior experience. I was really anxious, but Clayton was patient and reassuring, and his instructions were clear. He adapted the ride to our level so we always felt safe. Riding on the beach was an incredible surprise even our low level. He also took lots of photos during the ride and shared many anecdotes and stories about the place, which made the experience even more interesting. The horses are beautiful and very well-cared for. Thank you, Clayton for making our first riding experience so special. We highly recommend this place!”

β€œI wanted to do a sunset beach ride, and Tuidale Horse Riding with Clayton and his amazing horses, Ernie and Jet, absolutely delivered! The ride was breathtaking, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect as we rode into the fire horse energy of the Chinese New Year. Clayton’s knowledge, care, and connection with the horses made the experience effortless and magical. Ernie and Jet were responsive, gentle, and full of personality, making the ride fun and safe. If you’re looking for an unforgettable sunset beach ride, this is the place, I wasn’t disappointed!”

β€œIncredible experience - Amy, Clayton and Lily were so friendly, took their time to explain everything and made sure everyone was comfortable. The ride itself was so fun (even as a nervous first-time rider) and the beach was so beautiful to be on. You can tell they really care about their horses and the experience is all the better for it. Definitely worth the money and would recommend any day!!”

Overview

Clayton and his team run guided trail rides along the wide, largely empty Uretiti Beach. Rides are calibrated to your comfort level - first-time riders receive patient, clear instruction before heading out, and the pace is adjusted throughout. The horses are well-trained and reliable; reviewers name individual horses by name. Guides photograph the ride so guests can focus on the experience. The beach - expansive, uncrowded, and backed by coastal scenery - is a consistent highlight in reviews.
