❄️ Winter Lessons ❄️

With daylight savings kicking in, we’re swapping after-school coaching for Saturday sessions over winter!

If you're keen to keep training through the colder months, send me a message to book your spot. I hope to make this a regular thing on weekends, possibly go to different venues etc.

Group or individual sessions available!

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

▪︎ Schooling ▪︎ Sale on behalf ▪︎ Coaching

Not sure if I offer what you need? If it involves a horse, I probably do—just send me a message to discuss!

On-site spots are currently available, and I'm also available to travel (at extra cost) if you'd rather keep your furry friend at home!

Times are tough for everyone right now, so I've created packages to fit every budget. Get in touch to start your winter training now!

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 🥳

Update on my coaching prices!

Having regular lessons is THE BEST way to improve your riding and achieve those much desired results!

My approach is confidence based and focused on establishing the basics correctly to giving riders a strong foundation. This gives riders the ability to build from what they learn in their own time.

I’m being a bit stricter on myself this year and introducing a cancellation policy. From this month onwards cancellations must be within 24 hours otherwise 50% of the lesson fee will still be charged. I usually love being as flexible as possible but with a baby my time is a lot more limited!

PM for any questions or to book now! Spots fill in pretty quick so get in ASAP 🙌

First new service is Pony Bootcamp!

Are you or your child wanting to step up the next level but unsure on how to get there? Then this is for you!

As a coach there’s only so much we can see from the ground and sometimes getting your bum in the saddle is the only way to tell what’s really going on! After having success with some of my pupils and their ponies I’ve decided to offer a bootcamp service. We will work together to try and bridge the gap and propel you forward in your chosen discipline!

Whether it’s an old schoolmaster needing some help dusting off the cobwebs or a greenie needing to start from scratch, I’m here to help and get you guys started!

Each package can be tailored to each horse, rider and budget so please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or queries!

More to come so watch this space 👀

Busy planning my post maternity leave come back! 🙌 Keep an eye out as I will be posting over the next few weeks with new services on offer and a few changes I’ve made over the break. Lots of exciting things coming 🎉

Little throw back to when I was just starting to get the eventing bug. Forever greatful of the journey my beautiful Sadiyah took me on 🙌. He’s currently driving me crazy in semi retirement so might have to take him eventing again…

Last ride on Nigel 💔

The perfect home finally came along for my beautiful boy. He’s settled into his new 5* accommodation and is very much spoilt by his new owner. I don’t think he’s even missed home 😂

I’ve never been more indecisive about selling a horse than I was with Nigel but it was time and it is part of the job! Thank you for being my go to horse on the crappy days Nigel! I will miss our nanna rides around the farm but it’s time to but my big girls pants on and get eventing again!

Also thank you to for High Line Transport for taking such good care of my boy during his travels. Paula was incredibly patient, letting Nigel suss out the new float before loading and he arrived on time and stress free! 🙌

Beautiful Freddie is currently looking for his new person 👀

Has settled into my place like a pro. I love when ponies like him come to me, they’re so much fun!

First show with a baby ✅

Nigel was Mr perfect at Horowhenua Dressage a few weeks ago, finishing in the top 10 in both tests. We aren’t the fittest so we lost a few marks here and there but nothing to be overly mad about considering he’s only just coming back into the full swing of things. I’ve taken a few notes on what to improve on over the next few weeks; onwards and upwards from here!

With our first show under our belt I’ve decided to open my books back up for coaching 🙌. Winter is the perfect time to focus on those goals for next season. Spaces are much more limited due to mum life so PM me ASAP to book your spot!
