We wanted to give you a heads up that we'll be closing down our Auckland branch by 17 March 2023.

Unfortunately, we've had to make this tough decision due to several reasons. We know this may come as a surprise and we're sorry for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause.

We want to take this moment to thank you for your support and loyalty over the years. It's been a pleasure working with you and we'll always remember the good times we had together.

We'll do our best to make the transition as smooth as possible for you. We'll make sure to fulfill any appointments that have been confirmed with Karley by 17 March 2023. We will continue to work with you to resolve any outstanding invoice queries or any other matters related to the Auckland branch. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at [email protected].

Thank you again for your business and support. We'll miss you and we're grateful for our shared memories.

Trying to workout how I can help out when I get back to NZ in a couple days time with the terrible flooding and distruction. We have staff in Auckland that could probably be sent to lend a hand maybe 10 to 15 hours this week if the roads allow to get there.

I myself have a capable 4wd and small jet boat and would be willing to drive north and catch the ferry over to help out the Napier Hastings people, honestly I have no idea if that would actually be of help at all, but if you are a person that needs help please sing out, I imagine there's a lot of horses, stock and pets that need either saving or feed gotten to them and perhaps I could be of assistance there.

Would any of this be of any help?
Bruce.

All branches are now closed for Christmas & New Year so we can spend time with our friends and families.

You can still text to make bookings during this time as Karley will be monitoring the phone (except Dec 25 & 26 and Jan 1 & 2).

On behalf of myself, Chad, Seb, Henry and Karley - thanks for your continuing support. We look forward to seeing you exceed in your chosen discipline! Our best wishes to you, your families and your four footed friends over the festive season as well as a sensational holiday period. Here’s to getting out to enjoy the coming summer weather.

We have absorbed the huge inflation cost for as long as we can but diesel cost as well as staff wage increases, new vehicles taxes, extra sick days being paid, stock courier costs and general costs we unfortunately have to succumb to needing to make price adjustments. This is as little as possible as we feel for our clients during these times!. These prices come into effect as of Monday 11th July.

On a positive note we are proud to be one of the sponsors helping young riders go abroad with our sponsorship of Lucy Harrex to Compete and training for two weeks at Sau Paulo Brazil in one of the most prestigious shows in South America.

Many thanks Bruce Barton

Central Otago clients.
Seb is away in the UK for a month as of the 10th June visiting family.
This will obviously cause a shortage of appointments for a short time so get in now while he's still around :)
