A journey into the high country of Aotearoa
Mustering by horse is a tradition that goes back to the first run-holders and is, for some, still a rich and vital part of life on New Zealand's high-country stations.
From Otago's Greenstone Station to Muller in the Awatere, Smedley in Hawke's Bay to Chatham Island's Bluff Station, The Last Muster is a book about the old ways, lives lived in the saddle, and a love for horses that is hard-won and tightly knotted.
Carly Thomas is a former Stuff journalist, currently an in-house writer for Shepherdess magazine. She also dabbles in fiction.
