Maungatua Run is a horse stud so please take extra precautions:
• DO NOT bring horses that have any symptoms of sickness, coughing etc. 
• Ensure that your horses are up to date with worming/FEC. 
• No stallions permitted.

drop off paddock by the house to unload horses so you can drive on up to the yards empty. Horse trucks should 
be fine
