Over the hills...

Donald McGregor, on his horse, Forest, leads a group of riders as part of the Catlins Canter at the weekend.

It was the 19th year the event had been organised by the Owaka Lions Club.

Member Warren Burgess said about 108 riders took part in the two-day trek which took them through properties in the Clutha district near Lochindorb.

Mr Burgess said the event was a success.

Participant Tina Blair, of Dunedin, said she loved the trek and it challenged her and her horse.
