Published: April 9th 2010

It had been an eventful day from the start. After four straight days of the most spectacularly clear, sunny, cool autumn weather, I decided this week would be a perfect time to splurge on the all-day horse trek up in Glenorchy and Paradise (about 45 minutes up the road from Queenstown). Honestly, I'll find any excuse to drive up to Glenorchy, as it has to be one of the most beautiful places on... Read Full Entry

Greetings!! To our readers who followed our trip across Asia and New Zealand in 2009/2010, we're up to our old tricks again!

Paradise!
You've commented on the what seems to you to be less than gourmet food in NZ. When you see the unspoiled beauty of this land and this ride you've taken us on today, perhaps mediocre food is the NZ way of ensuring that the world doesn't move in and spoil the place as has happened in so many other beautiful places. One almost has to hope that this place doesn't become 'discovered.'

Thank you and a quick up -date.
Hi, I am the owner of High Country Horses and thank you for a great story. We think you captured your day well. Just on a up-date "ALMO" the horse who slipped into the creek was retreaved from the creek, and rubbed down until he was dry. After you left for your big adventure ALMO recieved a home brewed warm meal and was wrapped up in blankets. He re-covered well and didn't even have a sniffle :). It is great to read other comments on our new ride as we can taken in all the suggestions to help improve our products. Oh and by the way our lunches are beautiful even the breads and cookies are hand made daily.
