Huia Road Horse Club (HRHC) is an equestrian club and environmental organisation located in the Laingholm/Titirangi/Parau area of Auckland. HRHC is not a riding school or trekking business, but a community-driven club for horse enthusiasts. The club consists of both privately owned horses and horses owned by the club, which are used for community work and educational purposes.
At HRHC, members have the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities of horse care and ownership. In addition to handling, feeding, and grooming the horses, members, and their families are expected to participate in club events, pasture management, and facility management. This hands-on approach to horse care not only fosters a sense of community but also provides valuable education about horse care.
In addition to horse care education, HRHC is also dedicated to promoting the care and protection of rural pastures, wetlands, and native forest environments. The club aims to raise awareness and provide information about environmental conservation in the local area.
For those interested in joining HRHC, there are both riding and non-riding membership options available. The club is open to members of all ages, and no prior horse ownership or riding experience is necessary. HRHC encourages its members to give back to the community through activities such as pony rides and educational experiences about the environment and horses. The club also supports local events, such as the annual Karamatura Farm Day.
If you're looking to experience the joy of horse riding, HRHC offers pony rides on the first Sunday of every month from 3pm to 4pm. The rides cost $5 per ride, and helmets are provided. Suitable footwear is required. The proceeds from these pony rides go towards the care of the horses at HRHC.
For those who already own horses, HRHC provides facilities for use, including an arena. Please contact the club for pricing information for both members and non-members. Additionally, if you are interested in grazing availability, it is recommended to contact HRHC directly to discuss further options.
