From the Rakaia River we wended up a very steep, rutted 4WD track. I think finding these three horses was one of my highlights for the entire trip. Our tour leader believes these horses are used for rodeo. They stay up here until they are needed. They were very friendly although you had to watch the chestnut. He was rather quick to give a nip! Obviously I didn't take this photo, but I gave the camera to my husband who managed pretty well I think.
From here was an incredible view, far below, of the braided Rakaia River.
Such a fabulous photo Delwyth. You look amazing there with those beautiful horses!
My granddaughter & husband are just starting a new job around where you were alongside the Rakaia River above Ashburton. He’s managing six dairy farms for a Canadian Insurance company. Or son & wife are moving with them & they are buying a house in Tinwald. Will be a new place to visit!! Fave for this photo.
@happypat What a lovely area for your granddaughter and husband to be working in. That will be so lovely for you to be able to explore that wonderful part of New Zealand. Maybe I will be able to catch up with you again somewhere, sometime 😊
@dkbarnett. Well we still have some in Taupo, some in Morrinsville & now five around the Ashburton area so it would be great to catch up somewhere if we get chance Delwyth!
@happypat Well we still visit Taupo regularly, Auckland, Bay of Islands, Queenstown and of course home in Taranaki. It would be great to catch up again.
