A horse-powered charity fundraiser trotting up the South Island could have motorists thinking they have driven back in time.

The cavalcade will be on the road for more than a month, testing the stamina of both horses and riders.

Five wagons and saddle-sore riders are taking six weeks to plod from Bluff to Picton.
