These are the decisions I hate making, but someone else will be very lucky!!!

🌟 The Perfect Winter Project 🌟

Ally
16.1hh (approx)
8yr old TB mare

I've had ally since she retired from racing as a 5yr old with the intention to produce her. Unfortunately she's always been left until last and hasn't had as much work as I would have liked. Now I have a baby and I just have to face I don't have the time for her 💔 and no saddle that fits! Very hard sale as I hoped to produce her into my next eventer. She's brave as anything, will hack around the farm on a loose rein, be ridden ba****ck with a hackamore. Has amazing feet! She's been barefoot since I took her racing plates off. Holds weight well and easy going in the paddock. Not marish at all! I can tell she's in season by how my geldings act around her more than her own behavior 😂. She was amazing throughout my pregnancy (I rode her until I was 26ish weeks) and very much likes her new little human, plus shes great with dogs too! She is a bargain.. HOWEVER, she is a sensitive soul and gets nervous very easily, because of this I have taken my time with her focusing on ground work and hacking. She's a pro on the lunge and will pop over the odd log out and about. But we have focused on making work "fun" rather than schooling so she will need a bit of work before she's ready for a competition ring. She can be a bit head shy as well but if you're slow and give her a pat shes fine. For these reasons she will only go to an experienced home. She's currently out of work but the video was taken when I borrowed a saddle and hopped on after a fews weeks of nothing, so she won't take much to get going again!

Open to offers, just want her gone as she's happier when she's got a job to do!
DM with any questions 🙂

Finally, I'm opening my books after almost a year off! 🙌

Anyone horse shopping??

Due to a change in work circumstances Nigels new owner is having to resell him 💔. Have a scroll down and you can see Nigel was a favorite around here.. super easy going and a genuine all rounder. Would be a good first hack for any of my kids looking to move up next season.. or I am accepting donations to buy him him back 😉

So it turns out the old man wasn't quite done yet...

For any of my long-time followers, you know I retired Lucky rougly 2 years ago... However, I just had a feeling he wasn't quite ready for the slow life JUST yet and brought him into light work a few months ago. Enter his new favorite person, Paige.

With the intention to "see how it would go," these two have just gone from strength to strength! Although he's a (little) bit more mellow in his older years, Lucky isn't always the easiest ride. But Paiges patience, willingness to learn, and adaptability as a rider has really shone through, leading to some pretty awesome results! Including:

🥇 Central Districts ODE, 65cm and best performed TB for the class. Video of their cracking XC below!
🥈&🥉 Horowhenua Dressage, ungraded level 0. This also resulted in them winning Reserve Champions for the day!
Represented Motua and Horowhenua Pony Clubs in Area Dressage, Melda Gibson Dressage, and Interbranch Showjumping. Each time providing good scores for their team. There's probably more, but it's been such a whirlwind that it's escaped me!

I still MUCH prefer my bum being in the saddle at competitions. Being the organiser/ groom is stressful! But it's been so cool to watch my special boy teach the next generation. Lucky you really are 1 in a million ❤️

Finally, the biggest thank you to Megan and Paige for taking such good care of him 🙌

I've got a free space for a lesson tomorrow at 1:30pm. Wakefield road arena in Levin. Let me know if anyone want to grab it! 😊

What a busy few weeks! It's fair to say Feburary has started with a bang!

We started off with the HDG Summer Championship. This was Andy's first show! He impressed us all with his cool attitude, both judges commenting on his potential! He had a huge improvement between his tests and even finished the day with a 65.33% and 4th place. I couldn't be happier! ⭐️

Lucky also came out of semi retirement. It's been about 3 years since the old man went to show, but it's fair to say he can still pull out the moves whe he needs 🕺. The biggest thank you to Paige Kernohan for giving him such a beautiful ride. They came home with second and third for their tests and reserve champions for the day!!

Thank you to the organisers at Horowhenua Dressage Group for hosting such a fantastic, well run day. Also, thank you to Murray Doreen - Property Brokers Ltd and Fran James Property Brokers for their sponsorship of the show! Finally, biggest thank you to Megan Kernohan for saving the day with transport, being groom and babysitter all day. Me, Paige and Harley would have been very stuck without you! 😅

I'll do a seperate post with some video but we also took Andy to Dragon Equestrian Jump Park for some cross country! Ofcourse he was a star ⭐️, he's growing into such a mulittalented boy. There will never be enough words for how greatful I am to his owner Debbie Trevethick for entrusting me with the ride. He really is special!

2025 is off to a great start! 🙌

With Bruce Forbes just having past it’s quite cool seeing this memory pop up! This was my second year repeating Horowhenua and my first season on Lucky! Proof that it really does all start at Pony Club!!

With the competition well under way horses need to maintain their fitness to perform at their best!

Bruce Forbes is in the new year so thought I would offer schooling to help keep your ponies in top shape while also being able to enjoy a Christmas break!

Message me for more info. Happy to provide schooling onsite at my property or travel at extra cost.

Andy has started his jumping journey 🥳

Looks like he might have convinced his mum he’s worth holding onto by the look of those knees!

We kept it pretty short and basic as jumping is all about having fun at this stage, but our final fence definitely wasn’t small!

A huge thank you to Megan for letting us use your arena and jumps 🙌

Andy is definitely showing me he ready to learn some of this fancy stuff! I’m very jealous of whoever gets to produce him further...

His add will be up this week so keep a eye out 👀

Finally got my hands on a Pivo!! This awesome bit of tech records and tracks while you ride, removing the need for a second pair of hands to capture quality videos!

Me and technology are not friends so it’s taking me a few rides to get the hang of it… A missed a phone call meant I only recorded the first 10mins of my test ride 🤦‍♀️. I was guttered as Nero worked fantastic this day! Not the most exciting video in the world but you get the gist.

Having a Pivo is going to make sale videos and client updates soooo much easier! So you’ll be seeing a lot more of me on here 🥳
