Kate Tapley Horse Treks are grateful to the generosity of land owners for opening their properties to the Horse Treks for our enjoyment.
Our Trails are all straight forward and full of evidence of the previous volcanic activity typical of this area. We ride through open grassland, and native forest. While there are large areas of gorse the native bush is progressively establishing itself amongst the gorse.
The native forest we ride through is all coastal varieties, lace bark, pepper tree, manuka, kanuka, kowhai, broadleaf, and matipos.
The native bird song prevalent along all the trails is mostly bellbirds and the playful fantail will often follow our horses as they unsettle small flying insects with their hoofs. We see sheep and cattle, pheasants, Hawks, and sometimes wild goats, deer and pigs along the trails.
Riders cannot exceed 120kg.
Not valid in conjunction with any other offer.
