Welcome to Backcountry Saddle Expeditions
Backcountry Saddle Expeditions is one of the longest standing horse trekking operations in New Zealand.
Back Country Saddles had been operating in the Cardrona Valley for the past 35 years BUT due to the extensive development within the Cardrona Valley has now relocated the horses to the Hidden Valley in Earnscleugh.
It has always been about that “off the beaten track” and that “Backcountry” feel.
Debs, the owner, has spent most of her life around horses and was invited to help develop the Quality Tourism Standard for Horse Trekking.
Debs is a staunch advocate for natural horsemanship and over the years her style has developed BUT her package remains the same… Appaloosa horses outfitted in western saddles that cope with the mountainous conditions in the Hidden Valley, Earnscleugh.
