A horse trek taking in the stunning countryside of Smedley Station's Baker's Block this Saturday will once again raise funds for the Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
Property Brokers in Waipukurau have been organising the annual event since 2011. Organiser Jo Bonner said 64 riders took part last year and each trek had raised an average of $2000 for the Cancer Society.
"This is a unique opportunity to ride on Smedley Station and we are privileged to be allowed on this property. It provides a ride across stunning country side and magic views across CHB," Jo said.
The four-hour trek covers 26km of farm tracks, native bush, and stream crossings and provides views to the Ruahine Ranges and down to the plains below.
Jo said after two hours, riders stopped for lunch at an historic shepherd's hut before returning on a different scenic trail.
