The suspension was fucked on the two i rode, made bumps where there were none and the throttle kept sticking.

VC I will gladly teach you. It is a shit load of fun going flat out on a horse.

I don't doubt that, however i like to have a physical mechanical connection with the go and whoa and left and right buttons.

That way if there is a cock up its my fault

OK so putting it in motor bike terms, you can canter just like standing on the pegs on a trail bike. The stirrups are the pegs, your legs applying pressure are the accelerator and the reins are the handle bars. The only trick is to apply the brakes you need to sit down deep, push down on the stirrups and pull back on the reins. Oh and this is all really a bluff because the horse thinks you are stronger than it is. But you aren't as it is six hundred kilos and you are not so if it takes it into its mind to not do as you ask then you are pretty much stuffed.

Alpine horse safaris ( lake sumner area) and mt lyford horse treks . Wicked country . I'd try them . Good luck

Not where I want one for.

My mate and me got horses going quite a few years ago , was the best thing we ever did . Got to go to some cracker high country stations on them . Once we did a few treks we where most welcome to come hunting with out the stupid horses .
