Stables
on the Park and Te Horo Equestrian Centre are
situated at 737 State Highway One, Te Horo, 3 mins north
of the Peka Peka Expressway (seaward side), next door to
the former Mary Crest Convent and we are one hour north
of Wellington.
The stables commenced operation in 1986 by owner, Mandy
Robinson. We currently have a stable of nine horses and
ponies from miniatures to geldings.
Stables on the Park and Te Horo Equestrian Centre pride
themselves on offering riding experiences that foster
confidence in new riders who often return for a longer
or more challenging trek. Sometimes our customers prefer
to enjoy a private lesson to improve their riding
technique.
We cater for small children who wish to feed, pat and
pluck up courage to enjoy their first sit on a pony.
Slightly older children sometimes prefer to be lead on
foot until they gain confidence to ride alone, with
their friends or family, escorted by one of our
experienced guides. Teenagers and adults ride according
to their ability and can choose treks of a half hour or
forty five minutes duration.
Our terms of payment are cash or cheque and for a large,
in advance booking, a 50% deposit is required.
We operate seven days a week and prefer bookings for
weekend rides but do require advance notice for mid-week
treks.
Stables on the Park provides helmets, and can also offer
boots and jackets if required.
