Nedri Bakki Icelandic Horses offers training by an Equestrian Sports NZ (ESNZ) qualified coach on our well-trained horses. All our horses are leight on the aids, pleasant and reliable to ride.

What one our guest said about her farm ride:
"Coming all the way from Sweden and finding these fantastic Icelandic horses - it was like a dream ... So far away from the origin, Iceland, and still the same feeling. Or even better since the horse Kenneth chose for me, Hrima, was one of the best I have met, and I have tried quite a few, in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Austria and Tuscany in Italy. Everywhere the Icelandic horse seems to fit in extremely well, even in the opposite part of the world, New Zealand. Hrima is so smooth and sensitive and full of energy that you feel 100% satisfaction and happiness. If I should ever buy a horse I would choose one like her, and if it was not such a long journey from Sweden I would turn up now and then and ask for Hrima to take me around in the beautiful surroundings of Neđri Bakki.
Also Kerstin, my travelling companion, enjoyed the (too short) stay at the farm and, without much riding experience in the past few years, tölted on the trails with a happy smile."
