Overnight horse rides at Pakiri Beach

By HEATHER RAMSAY

Saddle up for a fun overnight outing with Pakiri Beach Horse Rides on August 16.

The ride starts at Pakiri Beach at 9.30am and heads over Te Arai point and across the estuary to Mangawhai.

Then it's dinner and the Speights Deerstalker Ball at the Mangawhai Pub.

Riders spend the night in a nearby cabin and after breakfast the next day, ride back through forest, returning to Pakiri after a picnic lunch.

Cost is $395 a person, including everything except drinks.
