The Crossing Backpackers is the home of Paladin Park Horses, breeding and training quality horses for sport and pleasure. Mainly breeding Appaloosa horses, you can see our mares and foals out in the paddocks. We also host sucessful Classical Dressage Clinics with Eleena Kennedy on a regular basis.
From time to time we may have school horses available which can be available for lessons, beginners to advanced, but by appointment only.
If you are interested in horse trekking, there are a number of operators in the area that are happy to help you out.
Classical Ride, Bringing the Ancient Art of Equestrian Training into the Present Day. Classical Dressage Training with Eleena Kennedy. Check the site for upcoming clinic dates and venues. Clinics only available in Auckland and National Park
We no longer do horse treks. We recommend you to call Sue at the Homestead in Ohakune.
