About Ruapehu Homestead Horse Treks Ohakune
Our story
Coming from a background in education, owners Don and Sue were motivated to give visitors to the Ruapehu region a chance to experience adventure in the outdoors. So in 1986, in response to the recently opened Turoa ski field, they invited visitors to see the countryside from the back of a horse.
In 1986 Mt Ruapehu erupted and in 2008 a fire destroyed most of the Ruapehu Homestead’s iconic buildings. Nether of these two significant incidences stood in the way of visitors continuing to enjoy the great outdoors through our horse trekking.
Each year growing numbers of visitors continue to ride the Ruapehu Homestead horses, many returning to share this experience with friends and family.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was a great experience to ride a horse here. Great views of mt. Ruapehu and adventures rides in Rangataua forest. They have horse suits to anyone from total beginners to advanced riders. Pricing is really friendly and staff helpful.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ To bad!
Should do a trek for 3 hours with my barfeed appaloosa. Staff knows that she didn't have shoes.
The trek was on terrible gravel road...moar as 3 kilometers...I know the distance because we followed that trek as 4wd that morning.
After a view minutes I asked her how far she goes...oh almost there was the answer.
I turned and walked back with my horse on the lead. It's definitely NOT a horse trek.
My partner hired a horse from that stable...his saddle was way to small. He walked back as well with horse on the lead.
The owner Sue didn't understand my complaining. So now I have still a horse with sore hooves...and no refund.
Don't go there if you are a horse lover.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We took our young one along for a short ride. She had never ridden a horse before and the staff member and horse were lovely with her, the whole experience was very gentle and she loved it. Really reasonable price and definitely worth it. Best to ring with a day or two notice.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The wild Wild West is right in our back yard! Ohakune has an amazing authentic cowboy trek that I would recommend to anyone. My partner and I went on the 1.5 hour bush trail riding Beauty and Rose. They are fabulous horses with plenty of personality and patience. Our trek started with a quick ride down the road than then followed the train tracks. Picturesque tumble weeds and locals yelling “yeeeee daaaawgy! A train is coming” made me feel like I was transported in time. Izzie, our awesome guide was great with local facts. She was also content with comfortable silence as we took in the scenery which I found so calming. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. We did this after 2 weeks of snowboarding and aching muscles but the saddles were a treat! ??

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had our first family ride today. That an amazing experience! We trekked through the local village, along the railway lines and through a small stream. A few ups and downs to keep you on your toes, but thoroughly enjoyable. Our hosts were patient and gracious and ensured we were comfortable and safe.
