Alpine Horse Safaris, New Zealand
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Lawrie and Jenny O'Carroll are the owners of Waitohi Downs, a 2,500 acre (1012 hectare) working farm situated in the high country of North Canterbury in New Zealand's South Island. Waitohi Downs is the home of 60 horses, of which about 35 are used for mustering stock and the safaris, and also 2600 sheep, 150 beef cattle, 450 red deer and 5 working dogs plus the odd mob of wild pigs.
- It has been a working farm since the early 1900's, and Lawrie and Jenny took over when they bought the property in 1981 from Lawrie's father, who owned and worked the farm for 35 years. Since then, they have developed Waitohi Downs to it's current state, with stables and woodchip yards for the horses, sheep, deer and cattle yards and varied paddocks for stock grazing.
