I put my trust in Alpine Horses and Guides and had the best ride of all time. Thanks for showing me the back of beyond and more. Would love to do it all again.

Fabulous trip – such beautiful scenery – these were some of the best horses we’ve ever ridden. Very sure-footed, alert, ready to go and still kind-hearted and gentle with their riders. We really appreciated the way you made us feel at home straight away. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

I can hardly believe I have completed this marvellous experience. Thank you Lawrie for your meticulous attention to detail – thank you Jenny for your super cooking and kindly tolerance. I loved my horse whom I trusted implicitly, what a wonderful 11 days!

We came for two days but stayed in two weeks! Thank you for opened your home for us, so we could share your daily life and see what’s going on, on a farm. We really appreciate your hospitality, the good food, the horse riding and your sense of humour! We love you!

Excellent, in 2 days I managed to lose my fear of horse riding and learn to enjoy it. Will recommend it to all I meet.

A beautiful horse trek with Lawrie and Jenny. It was a great experience, so beautiful landscape, very quiet country and a nice camp. You can be sure the saddles are very good – no problem for your bottom.

I discovered a wonderful area. Now, I know the true Kiwi. The Kiwi is Lawrie – like John Wayne. I’ve never seen him before. Never I forget this horse trek. I would like to come back again.

An absolute novice on an 11 day trip, I was a bit nervous at the beginning but with every step through this beautiful countryside I felt more and more confident, and now at the end of it all, I wish I could go on for a few more days!

Everything is excellent here: the, the horses, the countryside and of course the food! A marvellous experience but too short...Thanks a lot to Lawrie and Jenny...

Thank you Jenny and Lawrie, the ride was all I expected and more. I had a great time. Good luck in the future, I hope you carry on being this successful.
- CAROLYN BAYER

I think it was a very nice trip. Before going, I haven’t expected such a good trip with so nice people. Moreover the landscape is very beautiful. Sometimes I have thought that I lost time when you work its very nice to get outside like that.
- FRANCOIS TILLARD

Give Jenny and Lawrie a ring and find out how easy it is to organise a trip to suit you, your friends, your colleagues, anyone! So much fun, I can guarantee it!
