Experience the wild like never before, no fences, no roads, just you, your guide, and the horse beneath you. Our horseback hunts take you deep into New Zealand’s raw, untamed terrain for a hunting experience that’s as authentic as it gets.
Our seasoned guides and mountain-bred horses carry you into the places trucks can’t reach. Whether it’s crossing rivers or riding ridgelines, we’ll get you where the game lives.
There’s a reason we saddle up. These horses don’t just carry your gear, they carry you deeper into country most people will never lay eyes on. River crossings, mountain passes, and ridgelines are all part of the journey. If you want to earn your hunt and see the rawest corners of New Zealand, this is how you get there.
Our flagship hunts are exactly what hunting used to be — no high fence, no shortcuts. Just you, your guide, a solid horse, and some of the most remote terrain in New Zealand. There’s nothing like riding into the high country at first light, glassing for roaring stags, and putting your boots where trucks can’t go. It’s authentic, rugged, and nearly impossible to replicate anywhere else in the country.
Every photo on this page comes from the real thing, no stock, no staging. Just raw country, honest hunts, and the kind of moments that stick with you long after the packout. From early light glassing to riding out heavy, this is what it looks like to earn it.
