Is the thought of transporting your horse to the
south island preventing you?
Do you struggle to get your horse fit for the
event?
Over the years we have received a great deal of
requests to hire our horses out, so that people can
ride in the cavalcade.
The last two years we have done this and the Ladies
who rode with us had such a wonderful time, we have decided continue.
So if this is indeed your dream, ride into our web
site and book on in.
Our beautiful adventure horses are ready to hire
for the Mick O'Callaghan trail fully catered trail
**Important Note** This is completely different experience to our
boutique adventure trails.
Adventure Horse Trekking NZ, 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.
The Goldfields Cavalcade In contrast has;
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.
The Cavalcade provides the accommodation and food for this experience.
You will need a good level of fitness as we have
been informed that you will be riding for 6 >7 hours a day, riding at a walk
pace.
We will be able to assist you in mounting and
dismounting to some degree. You will be responsible for saddling and unsaddling your horse.
**Important Note** All catering and accommodation will be
provided by the Goldfields Heritage Trust.
