Te Arowhenua Trekking

A hobby has developed into a thriving tourist attraction for a 19-year-old Wakefield girl, Heather Dick.

Fifteen months ago Heather launched the Te Arowhenua Pony Treks and since then hundreds of people have enjoyed the rugged, attractive scenery which abounds in the land of Te Arowhenua. Heather has always been a keen horsewoman and a successful competitor in shows.
