Originally called Oakshott equestrian because we were on Oakshott road we have decided to rename the page The PONY Collab. this us because we are a collaboration of talents, ideas and inspirations. it's not one person it's many and we are always learning and developing our skills. We started off doing lessons but quickly found we had a unique service to offer people with ponies. There are no child

ren that ride and train like Giselle does . She has ridden close to 200 horses and ponies broken in, started, restarted or retrained dozens of ponies for people and the results speak for themselves. Check out some our latest projects. They are trained by children because ultimately they are going to be ridden by children and what better way to get them started than by the very size of rider that they will end up with. Ponies quickly work out who is on their backs and what's expected and there is nothing better than to get your new pony child proof. Giselle will start on them and then we have Quaid and Arya to help check their progress and see who they are suitable for. We also sell on behalf, we can get you pony fit Feel free to contact us any time either on 021474739 or send us an email

Tough question 🤔 when is too old to sell your horse / pony. We have a number of golden oldies. Abby is 22, kitty turns 24 in Dec, Kevin is 16 Flash is 29.

Personally when they have a few quirks I'm inclined to keep them regardless of age. I think anything over 18 you should keep unless you can find a forever home, a genuine one. I bought my horse Ziggy at 19, Kitty at 18, got flash at 28. I love me an older horse. But when I bought them I made a promise to myself they were here till their last days.

Kevin is on the edge of what I'm comfortable with after having an experience with selling an 18 year old that didn't go so well. I think I would bend over backwards to get him home if I knew where he was and I can only hope where he was going was better than where he was. It makes me feel a little sick.

Not to blame the people, circumstances change but because life can be unpredictable we really really have to consider where our horses are going if they are older or have quirks.

At this stage I'm leaning towards finding Kevin a lease home because he is too good to just be plodding around the farm and he has so much to teach a rider who has dreams of riding ba****ck on the beach and winning a million ribbons 🎀

Took the little babies out for a walk in the spring evening. The girls took LK and Kevin who have been stuck on babysitting duties over winter. Kevin is cool as a cucumber as we passed the trailer. So were Ruffy and Genie. But LK was not taking any chances 🤣.

Genie and Ruffy are a year old this week they are available for new homes. Ruffy is gelded and quite a sensible wee lad. He is going to make an awesome kids pony. Genie has a bit more s***k in her so she will need an experienced home so she learns the ropes to be a great kids pony too. She's a little bit cheeky and very brave. Both load on the float well, have their hooves done are wormed and nothing much bothers them.

They have had a great start in life. PM if you are interested in either of them, they should both make around 11hh.

Little bit of an adventure to the back of the house to graze 😊. It's a busy road we are on but traffic just doesn't seem to worry the girls.

Catching both girls had improved 10 fold so both are pretty easy now. Yay

Right is before left is after. We broke Amaro in quite slowly and all had been going super well and then 5 rides in a row he seemed really uncomfortable. We even gave him 6 weeks off and still tail swishing and neck twisting.

We tried ba****ck we tried different saddles and there was minimal difference.

We are lucky enough to have a great friend who is an acupuncturist and she kindly offered to take Amaro and rehab him. I had taken Amaro to a cowboy challenge day and although he was absolutely outstanding at it I got him checked and our friend told me his spine wasn't straight.

See it for yourself.

Just over 2 weeks later and his back is so much straighter. Needs a couple of weeks off and then we will see where we are at.

Very very grateful for the treatment and care he has been given and happy to pass on details for anyone wanting acupuncture 😊

We have been working on picking up Maemaes back hooves, as she isn't always that easy to trim the backs unless you are in the yard.

Today we got it first time so that is great progress.

Nevada has been pretty good after the initial training and usually picks them up as soon as you run your hand down.

She is getting the back up and her leading is pretty good. She is starting to lunge and get the turns. There isn't a little left for us to do.

She will be a great little project to finish off and I can see her being the pony you can do a little bit of everything with.

Get in touch if you are after a pony like this and have the time and experience to bring out the best in her.

Here is Maemae being caught. We still don't just race up to her because she can get nervous of people but generally speaking she is easier to catch. 25 seconds as opposed to 2min.

Nevada was quicker to catch today but she is in the yard.
