Up until fairly recent times, the horse was a vital part of life in the Camp.

Horses were originally imported from Uruguay and Argentina and the design of the horse gear used in the Falkland Islands owes much to the influence of the Gauchos from South    America who looked after the cattle that roamed across the  islands in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Hattie Lee is hoping to expand the range of horse-riding activities available from Port Howard Lodge. In the future, you will be able to take a quiet ride around the farm or help to drive the sheep to the shearing shed and, if you have more time, you'll be able to take a trek to remote beaches to see penguins and sea lions on white sandy beaches.

For the moment, horse-riding can be arranged through a nearby farm--please contact Hattie for the latest on horse-riding at Port Howard.
