Horse Trekson the Mohaka
All-new horse treks 45 minutes from Napier
We've been busy this year creating all-new horse treks to explore, covering terrain on both our own property as well as our neighbouring farms. We are just an hour from Taupo, in beautiful Hawke's Bay.
"The horse trek was well worth the money. Such a great experience. Our guide Wilson was super knowledgeable and friendly. I found the staff really accommodating and welcoming. The place itself is just paradise. If you want a place to pause, recollect and connect to nature this is the place. Really could not have asked for a better experience."

Every group (or solo rider) has their own unique set of circumstances, so if you are wondering whether we can handle your's - just ask. We are used to catering for groups where our guests have varying levels of horse riding experience for instance, as well as different fitness levels. We also love creating bespoke experiences when there is something special you wish to celebrate - our trails have some breathtaking spots along the way for special picnics and photo opportunities.
