The Porter family opens its deer farm to the public once a year for the 13.5km ride along the south bank to Gibbston. John Porter said: "It’s a casual ride, not a race, and a great introduction to riding tracks in Queenstown.
"We’ve had so many families here today, it’s wonderful."
Yvonne Binns, of Queensberry, said it was a good opportunity to visit an area she had last seen in 1989.
"It’s a credit to all the people who put it together and the landowners — without their generosity, these things never happen."
