Our Team
Meet the Waimapu Mill Horse Trekking Team.
We have a range of horses used for both guiding and hiring.
Moose
Clyde X Coastie
Moose is our big boss man. At around 17hh he can take most riders but can be a bit of goofball.
Favourite food: Anything in a bucket.
Ve
Standardbred
Ve is one of our lead horses. She is a soft sensitive girl who loves head rubs.
Favourite food: Not fussed as long as it comes with a pat.
Amber
Stationbred X
Amber is our resident chestnut pony. She loves to round up the calves and will eat pretty much anything.
Favourite food: Oddfellow mints.
Shutter
Standardbred
Shutter is our lovely lady. A real cruisey ride Shutter doesn’t really do fast and would rather just take her time. On the smaller side she can’t take every rider.
Favourite food: Gum nuts.
Daisy
Thoroughbred
Daisy is the herd princess and loves a cuddle.
Favourite food: Carrots.
Hang
Standardbred
Hang is our solid old man. Known for looking after any rider, he does have a forward walk but is the stoik rock for the herd.
Favourite food: Carrots.
Midge
Standardbred
Midge is the nosiest and hungriest of the herd. First to the gate, Midge is everyone’s best friend.
Favourite food: Whatever’s in your pocket.
Jackie
Jackie is one of your guides and our resident photographer.
Main mount: Amber
Matt
Matt is one of your guides.
Main mount: Ve
