Ruahine Adventure Horsetreks lie nestled below the magnificent Ruahine ranges and forest park, at the head of the Upper Kawhatau Valley. The 240ha property is a mix of river flats, hill country and native NZ beech forest including the 41ha Meersbrooke reserve.

It’s been owned and operated since 1998 by Alan and Liz Rennie, long time breeders of the very successful Meersbrooke Clydesdale/TB x sport horses and ponies.  A mix of these homebred horses/ponies, plus others carefully selected for type and temperament, are used for the treks. They are surefooted, kind and obedient; a pleasure for any level of rider to enjoy.

 

There are treks to suit all levels of rider, from experienced equestrians, to beginners and children. Treks on offer are 1hr, 2hr, ˝ day, full day, overnight & 4 - 7 day explorer treks.

Special packages are also available for school or corporate groups.

Open daily – weather permitting

BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL

 

“Alan & Liz

Often in life the obvious sits right under your nose and last Saturday as a
family we found it spending a day with you and your hospitality on your
incredibly beautiful property courtesy of a sensational horse
trek...........We came away doubting we had ever spent a better day as a
family with a nicer group of people with the added bonus of the spectacular
scenery available from your magnificent farm.

You guys have the art of under promising and over delivering nailed and
yours is a truly top notch adventure that should be experienced by as many
Kiwi's and overseas guests as can be accommodated, expect to see us again
for we have found something truly unique and wonderfully different on our
back door step only 30 minutes off state highway 1, incredible.

With great thanks
