Due to Covid-19 and our current family health situation (Lyn's mother, Olive has dementia) we are not taking any holiday, camping or tour bookings. We are still taking accommodation bookings for local workers, however no meals are available and our self catering facilities are not available for use. We love hosting guests and it has been our way of life since 1993. We hope to host you here some time in the future.

"We are passionate about sharing our skill and knowledge and giving you a safe and enjoyable ride.

There is no shame in the helmet game and we both always wear helmets when we are riding.

As well as years of horse experience mustering cattle via horse back we have also various horse sports under our belts.  Carl enjoyed  eventing and Lyn enjoyed a variety of horse sports like camp- drafting, endurance riding and polocrosse. 

We have also completed numerous Natural Horsemanship Training and Horse Safety schools."
