Throwback to where originally all began, at my previous house.

Couldn't ever have imagined where we are today. Forever in awe of how amazing our animals are with guests. And there is no better feeling than seeing the pure joy that kids experience while being with our animals

Looking forward to the future when we can expand our land size, and thus our business, and host people more regularly!

We are missing sharing our place and animals with visitors so certainly looking forward to bringing animal days back! Fingers crossed these school holidays! 🙌🙏

Been managing to get some time to train Chocolate Bar. He is still a little weary, mainly due to inconsistent work. I find that when I'm regularly handling him, he's good, but then two weeks of noncontact sets him back a bit.

Such a cool pony though and has a heart of gold. He has never once shown any signs of a bad temper, never tried to bite, kick or anything. That sort of behaviour is often not uncommon with some horses when they have been left wild for a long time as a stallion and you try and train them, as he was.

Hoping he can be part of our animal team in spring, if not as a riding pony, then as a pony that children can take around the obstacle course. The plan is definitely to train him to be ridden, but i don't like to put a timeframe on things so as not to put any pressure on myself or him.

Visiting Molly at her winter turn out paddock. She doesn't seem to be in a rush to want to come home LOL.
She has 5 acres with lots of scrub and on a bit if a hill. So nice for her to be turned out after she has been working so hard on pony rides for the last 18 months.

Here is Molly 'turned out' for winter to have a well deserved holiday (spot the pony in the picture). This pony is remarkable! She was mustered in 2021 from the wild (she is a Kaimanawa), came to us in 2023. I broke her in over a few months and within a year from then she joined the pony riding team. Our team would not be what it is without Molly! She is calm, gentle, quiet, bombproof and soo sweet. She takes so much care of all of her riders and never complains about her job - in fact I think she really loves it.

If you have a Molly story or any pictures to share of her during your visit with us, we would love to see them!

Thanks so much to everyone we have seen lately, we loved sharing our space and animals with you. We have closed down until Spring, look forward to seeing you then!
