Horses have an important place in the history of Canterbury, for years they have played an integral part in farming operations.
Trekking on horseback, as the early settlers did, is very much in harmony with the feel and pace of Methven's amazing landscape.
Horse riding locations near Methven include the Rakaia Gorge, Staveley, Erewhon and Peel Forest; providing breath-taking views of our native bush, mountains, braided rivers, Canterbury Plains and high country stations.
