Two days of riding through spectacular native bush and farmland overlooking the Kaipara Harbour are again being offered as the major annual fundraiser for Ahuroa Hall and School.
This year’s Ahuroa Horse Trek takes place on Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23, starting from the Berger family farm high in the Kaipara Hills, off Komokoriki Hill Road.
The trail wends its way over private farmland and through steep hill country, with expansive views in all directions and stunning harbour vistas.
Participants are well-fed throughout, with local volunteers providing home-made lunches halfway along the trek route, plus a barbecue and woolshed party on the Saturday night, followed by a hearty breakfast for campers and riders on Sunday.
The event usually raises several thousand dollars for Ahuroa’s hall and school.
Organisers say the trek is suitable for most riders, providing they have some experience, and children are welcome, so long as they are accompanied by an adult.
Riders should bring their own wash down water for horses, although there is a stream at the campsite that can be used.
The full weekend costs $245 for adults (or $125 for children), with Saturday only priced at $145 ($75), and Sunday only at $105 ($55). To register: https://shorturl.at/KZsUG
