🐴 Meet Cappi (Kiwi Cappuccino KH).

Cappi is a 14.2hh New Zealand Kaimanawa pony - a New Zealand Kaimanawa Heritage Wild Horse - one of just three in Australia. Imported in February 2026 as a 5½-year-old, he was one of the stallions mustered in the July 2025 Waiouru Kaimanawa Muster and was only gelded in September 2025.

After being gently tamed by Morgan Chandler-Bruce (Morgan Chandler-Bruce Equestrian) at Taupo, and started under saddle by Scott Pickering of (Forest Performance Horses), Cappi has now made his home on the NSW Central Coast and is registered with (EA) Equestrian Australia.

His riding journey is now beginning here at Rivendell Park and we’re incredibly excited to be part of his next chapter.

Cappi confidently experienced arena mirrors for the first time, walked over a bridge, and stepped straight over the tyres (obstacles) under saddle for the first time without hesitation. He took everything in his stride, showing the sensible calm, willing attitude of the Kai's, and his own most beautiful, kind nature.

And ... just look at that glorious mane, tail, and forelock, reflective of his Exmoor-Welsh origins - he really is a stunning young horse.

We can't wait to share Cappi's journey with you, so stay tuned for regular dates as he continues to learn and grow.

What a fantastic day at our clinic with Greg Andrews

One of the things we love most at Rivendell Park is that no two horses or riders are the same. From high-level dressage to Western Pleasure, young horses to OTTB retraining, nervous riders building confidence, behavioural challenges, groundwork, connection, long reining and mindset—we truly cover it all.

Every combination has a different journey, and Greg’s knowledge and ability to adapt to each horse and rider is what makes these clinics so valuable.

Whether you’re looking to improve your partnership, build confidence, solve a specific challenge, or simply enjoy learning alongside like-minded people, there’s a place for you here.

If we can help you or your horse in any way, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch and come and join our horse-minded community. 🐴

Coco’s Journey So Far 🐴

Six months ago, Coco arrived at Rivendell Park, It was clear from the moment she stepped off the truck that she was carrying a lot with her. She was shut down, lacked confidence and, most importantly, didn’t feel safe. After the journey she’d been on, she was met by her very excited owner Olivia who was ready to give her all the time and support she needed.

The first few weeks were simply about letting Coco settle in. We adjusted her diet, gave her time to decompress, and slowly began to see little glimpses of the horse she truly was. But we knew there was still a long road ahead.

So we went right back to the beginning building connection, trust and confidence. Every step was about helping Coco feel safe again. With the guidance and support of Greg Andrews, Olivia committed herself to the process never rushing and always listening to what Coco was telling her.

This weekend was incredibly special. Watching Olivia and Coco together was a reminder that there are no shortcuts to a true partnership. Through patience, consistency and kindness, these two have achieved something truly beautiful. Seeing Coco back under saddle, relaxed, confident and genuinely enjoying herself was something truly amazing.

A huge thank you to Greg Andrews for your unwavering support, encouragement and dedication to your students here on the Central Coast. Your ability to help both horses and riders build genuine partnerships is something very special.

Congratulations Olivia and Coco. Your journey is proof that when we take the time to understand our horses incredible things can happen. This is only the beginning and we can’t wait to see where your partnership takes you next.

🐴 Following the overwhelming response to our Connection, Horsemanship & Ridden Clinics with Greg Andrews, we are excited to announce our first ever full weekend clinic with Greg at Rivendell Park on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June.

This extended weekend gives riders the opportunity to immerse themselves in their learning, with the option to book a single lesson or take advantage of a discounted second lesson and make the most of your experience.

Whether you are returning to riding, working with a new horse, starting a young horse, facing challenges with a problem horse, or looking to rebuild your confidence, these private lessons are tailored to suit riders and horses of all levels.

Greg's approach focuses on connection, communication, horsemanship and understanding what our horses are trying to tell us. Learning the correct techniques and developing a deeper understanding of your horse creates confidence, trust and a stronger partnership both on the ground and under saddle.

The connection work is incredibly rewarding. When your horse begins to respond with softness, understanding and willingness, it transforms the journey and creates a partnership unlike any other.

All horses deserve us to have as much knowledge as possible, and this weekend is a wonderful opportunity to continue learning and growing together.

Bookings are essential.

🐴Today’s Connection Clinic with Greg Andrews was a great reminder of just how much our horses communicate with us every moment.

Watching Greg work with both horse and riders, helping people better understand what their horses are trying to tell them through body language, was incredibly valuable. Learning when to apply pressure, when to soften, and how to communicate clearly and fairly is a skill that takes time, patience, and practice.

Building confidence, trust, and connection starts from the ground up. When we learn to read our horses and become more aware of our own body language, we create stronger partnerships based on understanding and respect.

Kind, clear, and fair communication for both horse and rider.

Thank you, Greg, for another insightful and inspiring clinic.

🌟Rivendell Park had a wonderful day out at the Central Coast Harvest Festival in Somersby today. Somersby General Store was buzzing with activity drawing a fantastic crowd and creating a great atmosphere.
From the local stalls and delicious food to great coffee and an outstanding pizza van, the event showcased the best of our local community. Humphrey was a crowd favourite, keeping visitors entertained while happily accepting plenty of carrots from the children & adults throughout the day🐴🥕
A fantastic community event and a credit to everyone involved. 👏
