PAST TREK TRAINING FORMATS
We start by heading to the skills park and getting everyone safely leading their horses on a long lead in and out of a dip, over a bridge/board walk. Then we get everyone doing the same ridden.
Once we’ve done that we then head down to the Hanmer River reserve for lunch followed by a single file ride up river to ride in/out of the river over tree roots, scrub, bouldery terrain ups and downs, under overhanging trees.
After the river ride we head over to St James and settle into the base hut and horses into the recently refurbed paddocks.
Have a lovely evening potluck dinner learning a few essential knots.
Sunday morning up early served cooked breakfast.
Then we tack up horses and ride the homestead run teaching everyone to ride across the board walks then walk down Peters Pass where everyone learns the value of leading on a long lead before we cross the multiple creek crossings.
Then we arrive back at the homestead for first aid packing discussion then everyone heads home.
