Mctavish Horsemanship

Mctavish Horsemanship Hey Rory here, how can I help? This site is to give you information and updates about our business and to help promote our new venture!
(1)

I’ve made my living through horses for almost 30 yrs now - I’ve started thousands of horses and helped almost as many troubled ones, I also travel New Zealand handling youngsters, advising owners and solving problems. We are now offering week long residential courses in horsemanship unlike anything else available! Come and stay upstairs in our fantastic barn accommodation with your horses below in

our ultra-safe pens. During your stay you will see Rory working with horses at different stages of training, from Week 1 where they have never been saddled to their final week preparing to go home. You will also receive a daily lesson, have access to our facilities and accompany us on your horse as we ride down the forest and beach. If you're interested in working cattle from your horse or learning to throw a rope we can customise your stay. Helping us a little with daily chores will help you feel like part of the team and make for a good nights sleep !

Howdy 🤠
Well.. I’ve had easier trips than that!
Raining when I left on Saturday and the weather just deteriorated from there 😬
Ended up way down in Waitahuna (becoming one of my favourite haunts) then worked my way home from there, thankfully the weather seemed to clear each place I stopped for me to be able to do my thing - thank you all for standing bye me!

I am headed away on my Blenheim/Nelson/West Coast/ Wanaka trip this weekend coming.. surely all the roads will be open!

Once I’m back I will be starting a bunch of horses so please get in touch if you have one you’d like to send, I also have a couple of days this week that I could do some lessons or visit some local horses that need a hand, just drop me a msg if your interested 🙂

Hi everyone, here is an updated map for the Dunedin trip beginning on the 7th June.
I update these maps as bookings come in so if you need some help with any issue then get in touch and I will adjust my route accordingly.
If things are going well with your horses - I can give you something further to work on, If things aren't going so well - then lets get things back on track, If things have gone right off the rails and you need an ambulance at the bottom of the cliff - Im your guy.
And young horses - 30 odd years of experience with young and green horses, thats what Im bringing to your place 😉
