Breeders of Registered Clydesdales and quality half and quarter draught horses.

*Home of the Working Horse*

Erewhon Station is situated at the headwaters of the Rangitata River In Canterbury, nestled right amongst the Southern Alps. This country provided the magnificent backdrop for the Lord of the Rings movie "The Two Towers".

The Clydesdale's are an asset on Erewhon where we endeavour to use horses instead of vehicles. Erewhon's Clydesdale team can take you on a wagon ride at the station or to one of their High Country huts for the ultimate back country experience.

TWENTY Horse Team at Erewhon
June 2011 As a final tribute to the Clydesdale Horse for our centennary celebrations we drove a 20 Horse Team pulling a wool wagon through the river here at Erewhon. This was a recreation of a photo in the Omararama Pub from 100 years ago that inspired us to give it a go. We used 15 Erewhon Horses and 5 of Steve Muggeridges from Taungatara Clydesdales. The horses did fantastically well and the biggest challenge was fitting rows of horses 6 wide onto a track that only had space for 4 wide! Photos can be found on www.facebook.com/erewhonstation.
