Amazing turnout for the kaimanawa Q&A!

Bacardi and I had an amazing time meeting everyone and answering any questions they had, super cool seeing all the other kaimanawas there.

Thanks .grey.kaimanawa for running it!

Angel is now ready to go to her new home.

Angel is a 14.1hh kaimanawa, she is the loveliest mare you will ever meet. Will be perfect for someone looking to hack out as that's what she loves. Never puts a foot wrong no matter where you go (beach, forest etc. etc.) Great to hack out alone or in company, good to rug, for the farrier, vet and dentist. Has recently had teeth done, is paddocked with other horses. Perfect for a teenager or small adult that just loves going out and about. Can pull her in after 3 months off and ride in a halter around the farm and she'll do everything right.

Angel went to the beach after 2 weeks off and was such a sweetheart as per usual. It was pouring with rain and we got home absolutely drenched! I'm going to be sad to see this pony go but she'll make someone so happy. She loves going out and is the same everywhere you go, she'd be great for someone who just wants to hack out as that's her happy place. Keep an eye out as she will be for sale soon

Love working at Equus Veterinary Reproduction and Consultancy with the amazing people!

Meet the team Wednesday, happening on Thursday because we are BUSY this week with new babies!

The wonderful Olive McLeod of Olive Branch Equestrian has been with us for 2 seasons now, and we feel like she is part of the family!

Olive is a Feilding local who started really growing a passion for horses at 10 years old when she got her mare Bailey who was 4 at the time. Olive loves working with "problem ponies" through natural horsemanship to help them learn and grow. She is super talented and even starts and schools ponies which she absolutely loves.

Olive currently has 5 ponies of her own, Bailey who is now 8, Angel the kaimanawa, Poppy who she started under saddle herself, Timmy who is an ottb, and Bacardi who is another Kaimanawa from this year's muster. Olive trained and competed her in the Kaimanawa challenge at Equifest and did super well!

Olive tells us she really enjoys working at equus veterinary and with the amazing people there. We are not sure if Olive actually ever sleeps between horses, school, work and Jiu jitsu, but we sure were happy when she agreed to come back this season!

This amazing pony is now on holiday while I focus on my other ponies! Shes definitely used to being the center of attention and runs up to the gate every time I go past her paddock 🙈 My other ponies however are very excited to be back in work 😂

I just want to say a massive thank you to all the sponsors of the Kaimanawa Legacy Foundation junior's and juveniles class, thanks healthy horse inside out for the amazing supplements and NSC for the leather care and rescuing us on the way home 🙈
