NZ's International Spirit Horse Festival near Auckland

It is with very heavy hearts that we've decided to postpone the Festival until later on in the year. Hopefully by then, there will be a little more certainty about travel and lockdowns and restrictions on gatherings. It is heartbreaking having to do this for a second time but we are working hard to confirm what the new dates will be so we can let you know as soon as we can!

19th -21st March 2021

Come to a festival where people inspired by horses
meet, share ideas, experience, and celebrate!

Horses have been a faithful companion in human evolution for thousands of years. Only in recent years have we embraced their power to lead us back to our true selves. In a world of busy-ness they provide a powerful path to living mindfully and in harmony with all that is.

Join leading presenters in the field of horse-human experiential learning and explore the many aspects of the horse–human relationship for three days of inspiration, education, healing, and spiritual enrichment!

Equine Pathfinders Foundation is proud to present the International Spirit Horse Festival to connect people from all over the world to celebrate and learn more about the gift and the magic that horses bring to our lives and the lives of others.
