HORSE HAVEN was created by Michelle Lake in 2001 in Te Puna, Tauranga. Being close to the city Michelle opened her property to many young people for 21 years, sharing the love of horses, teaching the care of horses and to ride. HORSE HAVEN became very popular over the years with many countless numbers of young riders coming to learn and be trained under Michelle's careful and skillful coaching.
HORSE HAVEN is now operating at ONGARE POINT which is about 8 km north of Kati Kati. This new location can truly be called a HORSE HAVEN, Michelle & her husband Ekel chose this property due to its many favorable features for our horses & horse lovers, including being right on the beach front. Wow what a bonus !
This new property is a nice upgrade, and has excellent parking for people and easy access, undercover stalls, sand round pen, grass arena, wash pad, stallion at stud and more.
Our Mission
