About Us

Dorothee has been working with horses for 30 years, and is passionate about people finding happiness on horseback.

“We have enjoyed trail riding, pony club, horsemanship clinics, riding camps, travelling the roads, formation riding, harness work and much more. We now wish to keep sharing the magic of horses with others and invite you to experience the special connection we can have with horses.”

At first, our trekking team consisted of our home-bred ‘been there, done that’ part-Arabs. Over time, others have joined: some are standardbreds who were looking for a new career, others are ponies who came our way.

Each horse is treated with respect, and is appreciated for its individual character.

Dorothee loves teaching people how to connect with horses and ride them. She coaches at Kawatiri RDA (Riding for the Disabled) 2 days a week during school terms. Safety is always on the radar. The rest of her time she spends looking after her herd and running treks. “We are always working on improving our options for treks, so that we can provide the best possible experience for our riders.”

“The therapeutic effect horses have on people never ceases to amaze me. It is a dream come true.”
