Adventure Horse Trekking NZ Ltd.

keep our rider numbers low, giving a very personal boutique experience. On our trails, we saddle and tack your horses, cater for all riding abilities, source historic accommodation that tells the stories of the trails, have negotiated exclusive access rights to private land and provide farm fresh food that gives you a welcome hug when you arrive home each evening

Large groups of riders, 80 on this specific trail

Mick O’Callaghan is the trail boss (not John) you will therefore, be riding under his guidance.

Long riding days 6> 8 hours “solid riding”

The Cavalcade provides all food for this experience.

You will need a good level of fitness as we have been informed that you will be riding for 6 >8 hours per day, described as good solid days on the Cavalcade web site.

We will be able to assist you in mounting and dismounting to some degree but you do need to be able to mount and dismount unaided at times.

Although we will be saddling and unsaddling your horse, your participation is expected, either gathering, grooming or holding horses.

Horse Hire Includes

TRAIL TAXI 

As you are aware, at AHT NZ our horses are our whanau “family.” We therefore want to ensure that you and the horse you hire have a wonderful bond before you begin your Cavalcade experience.

Riding in our Group

Adventure Horse Trekking NZ Ltd. will be providing our own wranglers and back up crew for this trail.

As our horses are part of a natural herd in their home and working environments, we will be riding in a small group inside Mick O’Callaghan’s trail. This is to ensure the health of our horses and riders.

Adventure Horse Trekking NZ Ltd wranglers are authorized to make changes to horses allocated, equipment utilized on each horse, the pace of the trail.

Our horses will have their own enclosed paddocks every evening to ensure their safety.
