About Ohariu Valley Equestrian Centre

Ohariu Valley Equestrian Centre is a family-owned riding school and trekking centre at 517 Ohariu Valley Road, Ohariu, Wellington. It was established in 1963 and was formerly called the Country Club Riding Academy. The trekking trails and equestrian store are on its 850-acre sheep and cattle farm, where it keeps more than 100 horses.

The site offers horse treks and riding lessons, and it says lesson spaces are limited on weekends, after school and in the evenings. Lessons can be booked by phone on 04 477 3888. Visitors are welcome to come and watch a lesson, and the riding school's arena is just behind the stables. Wellington's newest wind farm sits on the centre's land and on neighbouring properties.
