All About Horses - Natural Horse Management
We are a family run organic farm set amongst the Maramarua Forest only 45 minutes from Manukau, Auckland.
We have created a horse haven on 40 acres called Waitoru Farm, with track and equicentral sytems for optimal horse health.
We offer a natural environment for horses to graze in a herd and interact with each other as naturally as possible.
We have over 30 years combined experience in farming, horse management and assisting people with horse management, including groundwork, riding, feeding, hoof and body care.
Our naturalhorsemanship lessons are available at our farm or your place with your horse. We advocate for bitless riding of which we have helped transition hundreds of riders and horses from bitted to bitless and the results are life changing.
We also offer barefoot hoof trimming for our grazing customers, and have over 19 years experience. We can fully assist in transitioning from shod to barefoot, or sore barefoot hooves to functional happy barefoot hooves.
