Tasman Rides

Joanne, the organiser for Tasman Horse Rides, wants to share a quick note with the sports community about some exciting opportunities. Located in Auckland, on a 300-acre working farm and a small farm-owned forest, Tasman Horse Rides offers something specially tailored for everyone.

For the school holidays, Joanne’s set up fantastic programmes and camps for kids and teens aged 10 to 14. They get to learn riding skills, enjoy trail rides, and even participate in team games on horseback. It’s a blast and a chance to connect with nature in a supervised setting.

Adults and older kids (11 and up) will love the horse lease programme. Joanne designed it for those who want to ride regularly without the hassle of owning a horse. It’s a great way to enjoy riding and build a deeper connexion with these wonderful animals.

Gift vouchers are also available at Tasman Horse Rides, perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just because you care. Give someone the unique gift of a horse ride and let them experience the joy firsthand.

The feedback’s been fantastic. Emily Reid, a young holiday camper, can’t stop recommending it to her friends. James from Auckland found the trek stunning and praised the countryside views. And Moana Oh was thrilled with the overnight pony camp – her daughter loved every minute and wants to return.

Safety is a top priority. Joanne ensures knowledgeable guides, well-matched horses, and essential safety gear like helmets. Plus, basic riding instruction is provided.

Bookings are super important and easy to arrange – just pick a time that suits. Come along and enjoy the beauty of New Zealand’s countryside on horseback with Tasman Horse Rides. Joanne guarantees it’ll be an unforgettable experience!
