High Country Horses prides itself of being exclusively owned and operated by New Zealanders, in New Zealand, with over 30 years’ experience in tourism (horse trekking, dolphin swimming and jetboating). Duayne and Deana have owned the bus
iness since 2004 starting with a garage shed and 8 horses. Now the business operates two different bases and has a herd of over 70 horses to choose from, covering a variety of breeds, heights, temperaments and abilities. There is something for everyone here! With over 100,000 acres of stunning, world famous Glenorchy back country to ride on exclusively, clients are lucky enough to experience crossing glacial fed waters, ride amongst the wildflowers and lupins, be awe inspired by the towering snow-capped mountain ranges that hug Glenorchy, and truly immerse themselves into middle earth on horseback. We cover the Dart Valley, Paradise Valley and Rees Valley, depending on the trek you choose, and offer rides from one hour through to five days. Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or experienced rider, we have something that suits all. We are the only company in the country to offer this.
