Mt. Lyford Horse Riding welcomes you!

Natural Horsemanship and Treks

Mt Lyford Hose Treks teach and apply the principles of natural horsemanship using the horse's own language. Mt. Lyford Horse Riding is operated by Kate Tapley, a leading practitioner of natural horsemanship. Kate and her team of qualified trek guides guide you in small riding groups on our trails.

Each riding activity begins with a partnering up session where you learn how horses think, and how to build rapport, communication and leadership with your horse. This enriches your ride making it safer, rewarding and fun. We ride in natural rope halters. No bits. This promotes communication rather than force. Our horses all have a wild natural hoof trim, no shoes.
