Spend 2 hours of pure delight in stunning South Wairarapa countryside, as you feel the earth thumping beneath you and your horse.
Riversdale Station is home to Heavenly Horse Treks and has been in the family of your hosts Ben and Georgie Lutyens since 1842. It stands as one of the earliest farmed stations in New Zealand.
You’ll find a stable of meticulously selected horses, both for their temperament and character. With Station bred, Quarter horse, Standard bred, Appaloosa, Paint and Clyde, there’s a horse to fit you!
Stock and game roam free on the station, there’s hardly a gate and few fences. The tracks are never ending, with wide open riverbeds, rolling hills and views that just don’t stop. You will be guided by a friendly and knowledgeable equine expert.

Location: 4417 White Rock Road, RD2, South Wairarapa (A wonderfully scenic two hours drive from Wellington, or one hour from Martinborough)
Great friendly staff confident and help instil confidence in you. Good tips on how to rise and control horses. Horses well trained at following each other and not wondering off if unable to control them. One horse kicked out a few times when being followed to closely however which did make it difficult at times
Ben was our guide and he was very friendly, the horses were great and the scenery stunning. Would 100% recommend.
Thank you very much for a beautiful trip and for being so supportive & patient. We enjoyed the views, loved crossing the streams and overall felt safe and well looked after.
Amazing place and well worth the trip from Wellington. Views were spectacular and the staff friendly. The only slight downside was that some of the horses were a little too fond of eating grass. Overall, we would highly recommended Heavenly Horse Treks.

Heavenly Horse Trek
Highly recommended. We were a group of 4. Made very welcome. The horses were excellent laid back steady neddys. Great as 3 of our group were total novice. The ride out was amazing. Scenery you wouldn't have found anywhere else. I for sure will book again when we return to New Zealand. A trip to White Rock (beautiful beach and fishing totally deserted)about 20 mins finished the day.
