🚨 There's a new instructor at Maungatua Equestrian... 🚨

She's very enthusiastic, has plenty to say, and is extremely confident in her coaching abilities... even if it doesn't always make a lot of sense. 😂
So when you book a lesson, you might get dressage instruction from me... or you might get some very important feedback from Lucy. Apparently she's now specialising in rider position—particularly your jumping position! 🤣
Book your lesson here: https://bookings.gettimely.com/maungatuaequestrian/bb/book

And yes... Nibbles is available for lessons again!
For everyone who's been asking whether I'm officially back teaching, the answer is YES! 🎉
Lesson availability is still limited, so if you've been meaning to get back in the saddle, don't leave it too long to book!

✨ Arbek Summers Surprise ✨
“Baloo” 🧡
This gorgeous chestnut c**t is now fully weaned and happily enjoying life with his young horse mates — and he’s ready to find his new 🏡
By ✨ Golden Strike out of the beautiful mare Summer Gift, Baloo is a lovely quality c**t with the temperament this family is becoming so well known for. Easy going, kind natured and a very sensible young horse to have around.
Before leaving, Baloo will:
✔️ Wear a rug
✔️ Have regular hoof trims
✔️ Be float trained
This is a family line that continues to prove itself under saddle, with his siblings including:
⭐ Competitive dressage ponies competing Level 2–3 and schooling higher
⭐ A successful RDA pony with an exceptional temperament
Baloo has all the ingredients to develop into a super performance pony while still having the trainability and brain people are searching for.
📍Located in Dunedin

For all of Jack's clients that are looking for a temporary farrier Barton Blacksmiths will be coming over to help take some pressure off other local farriers. Pm them for bookings.

We are looking at adding a Mosgiel/Dunedin run over the next little while to help out Jack Whibley and his clients until he’s back up and running after his injury.

We will predominantly be working out of Maungatua Equestrian (huge thanks to Bec for having us!).

At this stage, we are gauging interest, but we are likely looking at doing 2 days every second week to make the run viable — although this will depend on demand.

If you would like your horses done, please send us a message or text 021 163 6596 with:
• Your full name
• Email address (and phone number if messaging via Facebook)
• When your horses are due
• What they will be needing (trim, all round shoes, any special requirements etc.)
• Whether you are able to meet us at Maungatua Equestrian (if not, your horse's address)

Our office hours are Monday to Thursday, 9:30am–12:30pm, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

Please feel free to share with anyone who may be interested 😊
