Our camps are comfortable, but we practice minimum impact camping so don't expect all the trappings of civilization.
We provide the tents (canvas wall tents), excellent food, and a horse appropriate for your ability, size and experience. We will provide you with a sleeping bag and mat warm enough for the conditions here. Remember there are frosty nights even in mid-summer! Personal effects (including the sleeping bag) are limited to 1 duffel bag per guest, weighing 10 kg. or less. See Kit list
Age and Weight Restrictions. On pack trips we have had children as young as 8 who were wonderful company and enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
On the other hand, it must be emphasized that anyone under 15 should be a regular and enthusiastic rider, have a keen sense of adventure, and be accompanied by a parent or guardian in order to fully enjoy the experience. We have also had people in their 70's on pack trips, but again, they were fit, in good health and rode regularly prior to their holiday.
We have only a few horses capable of carrying people over 220 lbs (100kg), so that is our usual maximum weight for riders. Exceptions may be made for fit and experienced riders.
In short we have found age to be less a limiting factor than fitness, health, experience and spirit. We ask that you judge yourself (and your children) honestly in this regard, as we will take your word for it and plan the trip accordingly
