Horseback Adventurers Angie & John

Are you a dreamer?

Do u believe in the power of positive thinking?

Are you like, “Sis, what are you on, dreaming is kids play”

Or

“Bro, I’m so into positive projections”

When John n I set out to create this business from a dream people told us,

“Park that no one no one’s gonna wanna do that”

There were so many naysayers but we ourselves believed in the dream.

Unperturbed we:

Began our herb breeding program

Researched historic pack trails

Sourced local produce & receipies

Talked to farmers

Rode the trails to see if they were still there

Put wheels in motion to begin

Joined the local chamber of commerce

Visited tourism information sites

Phew, when I think back now we were pretty focused on our dreams.

It matters not how many times I see our adventure horse crew set out across the mountains. The deep unending sense of incredulity and aroha “love” brings tears to my eyes, even now just writing this.

The last few years have been difficult but also amazing.

We have showcased our incredible Aotearoa “New Zealand” a to Kiwis who have been blown away with the beauty of their own country.

Many stepping out of their comfort zone and #doingsomethingnewnz

I love this saying,

“Don’t be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so”

Aroha nui Angie and John

Although I was born in the city (Liverpool) I was lucky enough to be raised in the stunning Cheshire countryside. My Brother Jeff and I lived wild and free and gained so many incredible life skills. We could not have wished for two more outstanding parents to guide us both. Fast forward 36 years and we both made the incredible move across the world to Aotearoa NZ to live. This is where I met John and began a wonderful journey creating our dreams. The Horses that we have bred are our children and we are so very proud of everything that they achieve each and every day. There is not one single day that horses are not in the heart of everything we do. Arohanui Angie Aotearoa NZ
