Falling Creek Ranch is nestled on the top plateau’s of Okoia, only 15km from Wanganui, with views of Mt Taranaki, Mt Ruapehu, the ocean, some lovely native bush, ponds and streams and picturesque surrounding farmland. The 91 hectare property was purchased in 2017 to answer the call of a long time dream held by owners Zane and Mel Scott, to own a property where people can come enjoy the wide-open spaces, experience being on a farm, develop themselves, be accepted and grow in confidence, refine leadership skills, and create life long memories via an encounter with horses, the farming way of life and fun in the outdoors.
Falling Creek Ranch is a working farm that buys in weaner calves in the spring and takes them through to 15-20 months old and we have a large string of horses including the brood mares and foals (50+, we’ve lost count!). We muster the cattle in on our camps, and often ride through the brood mares and foals or older foals paddocks on treks, lessons and camps.
We offer treks, riding lessons, adult social rides, horse riding camps, hoof trimming, starting/breaking in horses, reschooling, float training, QH/Appaloosa stud, clinics, even birthday parties and can tailor a package to suit you and your requirements. BOOKINGS ARE ESSENTIAL.
