Waioneke School, located in South Head, is excited to announce two Fundraising Treks and Walks in the stunning South Head area!

**First Trek: Te Rau Puriri Regional Park**
**Date:** December 7, 2024
Participants can enjoy a unique experience trekking across farmland and beach in parts of the park that are typically closed to the public. The ride will last approximately 2-3 hours, starting at 7 AM with a briefing at 9 AM. The route will be self-guided and clearly marked for both walkers and those bringing their own horses.

**Second Trek: Private Farm and Forestry**
**Date:** February 22, 2025
This is an amazing opportunity for participants to ride or walk through breathtaking farmland and lush forestry at the southern tip of the South Head peninsula. The views are truly spectacular! This trek will take about 4 hours, with the event starting at 7 AM and a briefing at 9 AM. Like the first trek, it will also be self-guided and marked for walkers and riders.

Raffles, BBQ, and cold drinks will be available at both events. Participants are advised to bring cash, as there are no eftpos facilities on site.

Hello westerners.
We are looking at geting Cookie Johnson from Viking Rest Custom Leatherwork up for a western saddle fit day on the 28 of September. (you would need to bring Saddles to try )
Cost would be $60 pp for a 30min session.
She will watch you ride and take templates of the horses backs and trace them onto paper for the customer to keep for their records. Great to see the changes in the back shape with age / growth , fitness level etc. then check the fit of the saddle and watch movement under saddle pref. She will check the horse for obvious signs of impingement or muscle atrophy and check saddle to make sure theres no major issues and discuss any matters arrising.
(FYI As fitting checks are only as what she see's on the day and is dependent on fitness levels and/ or seasonal changes, these factors may effect what is presented on the day so this is in no way any guarantee of being perfect.)
Let us know if you are interested as we need a minimum of six people to go ahead.
Location will be in Helensville.
