NZ EQUESTRIAN VACATIONS HOMESTAY PROGRAMME

 

The week long riding programme is based at Greg’s and Kim’s property, Silverstream, located in Otane, Central Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.

Guests stay in the house and are part of the family. The house has three guest rooms and a separate guest bathroom. There is a swimming pool, tennis court and 1,000 acres to explore. The week starts at lunchtime on Monday followed by an orientation lesson where you get to know Greg’s teaching style and he gets to assess your riding skills.

Tuesday through Friday offers you a lesson each morning (two if you are on the Intense Programme) and the afternoons are free to relax, explore or go for a ride around the farm. Saturday is the final lesson day and Sunday morning is departure.

Riding attire is casual and jeans, long chaps, short chaps etc are all acceptable and comfort is paramount. Some riders may wish to compete or visit a local show, which is a great experience. Please advise us of this before your arrival so dates can be confirmed.

The weather in New Zealand can be unpredictable so it is advisable to bring warm clothes even in summer, and wet weather gear.

We look forward to meeting you some time soon and sharing Greg’s knowledge, our horses, our beautiful region and the laid back New Zealand lifestyle with you.
