Tōtara

Tōtara is 1/2 Standard bred/1/2 Shire

Whanau: Bracken is his Mumma

Favorite Trail: Twin Lakes Pure Kiwi Adventure

Tōtara moved into the riding string 2025 season and has made his mark on the riders hearts. Gentle, honest and deeply kind he has worked on just about every trail we have as a pack horse at this stage. Kat has been riding him as a wrangler horse and he has coped with everything needed on a trail. I know that our customers are going to adore this adorable horse.

Tōtara is a sacred tree to Maori, a symbol of nobility, chieftainship and social solidarity

The huge Māori waka taua, capable of carrying 100 warriors, were often hollowed out from a single Tōtara log. It is one of the best woods for carving with stone tools.
