FORESTRY INFORMATION

Manulife manages the horse riding area in the forestry near Tokoroa. Their management requires anyone looking to ride in their forests to be a member of the Waikato Endurance Club and hold a current permit. Riders need to apply for their forestry permit through our club. The forms for both WEC membership and forestry riding permit can be found under the resources tab on this website.

​

Once you have received your riding permit, you will be able to ride in the designated riding area within the forestry blocks. Sometimes the forest is closed when there is a high fire risk or strong winds. The WEC forestry rep will keep members informed of these changes through the Facebook group. Signs at the designated parking areas provide you with emergency phone numbers.

​

Please adhere to all forestry rules and regulations and keep the car parking areas clean and tidy for other users - it is a privilege to be able use these areas. 

​

Application forms are on the resources tab. You will need to fill out an application form for the Waikato Endurance Club first to obtain a WEC membership number before applying for the forestry permit. 

 

Forestry riders now need to complete an online induction first before getting a permit issued. The link for this is on the permit form.
