Guided Horse Treks
Come and experience Gisborne's beautiful countryside from horseback! Our guided horse treks offer the chance to slow down, enjoy the outdoors and experience the unique connection between horse, rider and nature.
With rolling farmland, river access and scenic views, Pine Hollow provides a beautiful natural setting for authentic outdoor experiences that promote wellbeing, confidence and connection with animals and nature.
Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner looking to try horse riding in a more natural setting, our treks are a wonderful way to get outdoors and enjoy time with our horses. Come and enjoy a relaxing ride through the countryside with your family or a group of friends.
We welcome families, couples and groups of friends who want to enjoy a memorable experience together. Come along, breathe in the fresh air and experience Gisborne from a different perspective - on horseback!
When booking, you'll be asked about your riding experience, as well as your approximate height and weight. This helps us select suitable horses for each rider and ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
Group Bookings
Our group bookings are available for schools, organisations, end-of-year functions, or simply groups wanting to enjoy some time with horses and ponies.
Whether you'd like to visit for an hour or spend half a day with us, we can create a programme to suit the needs and interests of your group. Activities can include pony rides, grooming, feeding, horse care, spending time with the ponies and enjoying the outdoors.
We can tailor each visit to suit your group's age, abilities and interests, with options for everyone to get involved - whether they're riding, learning about horses or simply enjoying time with the ponies.


Birthday Party Bookings
Looking for a birthday party that's a little bit different? Celebrate with ponies at Pine Hollow!
Our birthday party bookings are a fun and memorable way for children to spend time around horses with their friends. Depending on the age and experience of the group, activities can include grooming and caring for the ponies, learning basic horse-handling skills and enjoying a fun pony ride- either on the lead rein or independently.
We keep things relaxed and age-appropriate, with plenty of time to get up close to the ponies, ask questions and enjoy the experience together.
Birthday party bookings are available for groups of children, making them a great option for a special birthday celebration or a fun horsey get-together.
Get in touch with us to discuss your party, and we'll help create a session that is fun, engaging and suitable for your group.
