Horse Trekking at Mills Lodge

Enjoy a warm, fun, relaxed, rural, high country atmosphere and experience the outdoors at your leisure. Treks are kept to a comfortable number to ensure your enjoyment and safety and can be tailored to suit your requirements. Our horses are good natured and no riding experience is necessary.

Come and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of the Canterbury foothills, cross rivers, farms and forested areas and take in stunning alpine views.   Lots of interesting history including an old copper mine (with resident ghost) & wetas as big as mice help make the treks a memorable experience.  One of  the treks follows the route the drays used to take to transport bricks out from the old lime kilns.

Coal mining in the district around Mills Lodge used to be an important industry and  treks can take in many of the old coal workings.

Treks are through farm land in the beautiful Canterbury foothills and offer riders magnificent high country views, rolling hill country and excellent river riding.

Treks from $35/hr/person.
1 day or 2 day treks available
2 day trek includes food and accommodation.

All rides include specialty equipment although you will need to provide your own appropriate clothing which we can advise on.

Tourist groups or individuals welcome.  Treks can sometimes be organised at short notice.  Mills Lodge is only 2km off a main highway.
