Horse Trek from Port Waikato to Waikaretu

Seven Hour horse trek down the west coast of New Zealand.
Beautiful views, awesome sanddunes, a 'hot' electric gate and a 'bumpy' canter along the beach with melissa!

Once again I have to tell you how BEAUTIFUL your Country is. :~)
Thanks for taking us along on the ride!

Thanks Mary! I had to giggle when I found the song, there were a few sore 'bottoms' after 7 hours in the saddle, so 'come on get through it' was perfect!!

[@daligoddess2006]

What a WONDERFUL LIFE you have Melissa!

[@XR2Gundy]

WOW..... I want to come with you guys!!!! I'm sure i have seen some of that country??? Trail Ride??? Any how, yet again, you have proven that the North Island has some hidden beauties. The North Is. is getting harder to compete with!. (ps, don't have a few wines and watch the beach canter!)WOW, WOW BEAUTIFUL!

[@melanianspots]

Thanks Joe! That was a big ride, 7 hours in the saddle, and I was naughty, hadn't ridden my horse much at all the last 3 months, but she was fine, keen as mustard!

[@melanianspots]

Hey thanks for watching! Its a bit of a long one, at 7.37 minutes but the day was so cool I had to put a little of everything in!

[@filipeaqui9150]

Wow.

[@melanianspots]

Thanks for watching, I'm finding, while trekking my saddle is getting a little congested with camera bags!But I just can't help myself, have to video or photograph it!

[@melanianspots]

Hi Julie, love to share, thanks for watching!

[@melanianspots]

Yes, and am learning to appreciate more each day, and love to share it, even if only on video!

[@melanianspots]

Yep, the first couple of video minutes are on the Sunset bush/coast motorbike trailride. The difference between north & south is it doesn't take all day to get over one 'hill' in the north!

The grey is 'Nevada' the appaloosa with hardly any spots! and the music is 'Tender' by Blur

[@melanianspots]

Thanks Dea, where were you up north?

[@melanianspots]

Not meaning any offense to the south by the way!
