Awesome weekend away in Hawera where the ponies and drivers did themselves proud!
Salt and Alexis came away 3rd in the 400m cup series with 3 wins out of 8 races.
Ty and Cody struggled with the distance (600m) on the grass against some seriously fast 800m ponies but I was super proud of them and Ty trotted the whole way.
Gus and Brae were in same race as Ty and also struggled with the distance and faster ponies but did manage to pick up a couple of placings.
Cinnamon and Luca did us proud, Luca drove her great and did the best he could. I really should of put her in the 400m with Salt as the fast running 600m was too much for her. Will know that for next time.
Star (club pony) and Maisie did very well in the Novice Driver 400m cup and came away 2nd in the series with many placings.

A huge shout out to Horselands for the loan of their massive float! Made the trip so much easier thn hauling a truck around!

Massive day yesterday! Left home at 8:30am, had major issues with the float fishtailing every time I went over 60km. Got as far as Manukau and had to turn around and go back to Kumeu to try reload. Thank goodness its the type of float where you can move the dividers and stand them anywhere. Moved ponies and load around, put heaps more pressure in tyres on car and float and away we went! Took 2 hrs to get to Bombay thanks to bloody traffic but once out of Auckland it was smooth sailing!
Rest stop for ponies in Pio Pio for a snack and drink and then back on the road!
Arrived at Motel in Hawera at 8:30pm. Unloaded ponies, rugged them up and threw them in the paddock. Threw kids in the motel and rushed to Woolworths to get food until Saturday then back an in bed at 11pm!
Lack of photos as co-pilots kept sleeping!

No Fus Gus
Gus has been out on the track too but has been battling muscle soreness too. Hes picked up a few placings along the way. This weekend he showed he's back on form where he worked incredibly! He's ready for Hawera!

Little Miss
Cinnamon has had a great season so far, wins and placings for different drivers! She had an eye ulcer a month back but recovered quickly. Such an awesome wee gal! Looking forward to seeing what she's got down in Hawera!

Salt Lake City
Salt had his first race start a couple of weeks ago, he won both his races! Super proud moment! From the wild lightly handled stallion that arrived 2 years ago, to an unbelievable wee gelding who loves to work and race! I'm sure Alexis was absolutely stoked too as she's put in a lot of hard work with him and then he goes out and wins for her!
Friday night he had his second start, first race with Brae and to top it off, a Cup race! They pulled out a nice 2nd with little effort! Slow and steady definitely wins the race!
Bring on Hawera this weekend!

Pencoed Tirion
Ty has been out this past month due to soreness. He has been receiving Contact Care from Robyn and treatment from Freya at Symmetry in Motion.
He is feeling much better and back on form heading into the Easter weekend at Hawera. He had a great workout yesterday where he showed some of the speed we had been missing!

It's been a hot minute!
Instead of a massive novel of an update, I'll just pop some pics up of our adventures so far this year! From hacking out, to injuries, to the arrival of the new galloper filly plus some awesome racing wins and placings!

What a great first race back!
All 3 ponies behaved impeccably with no dramas!
Cody and Cinnamon won both races, Brae and Ty were 3rd in both races. Gus was a bit sore but still ran home 6th and 7th for Alexis. Not a bad night considering this was the first time racing these ponies for all drivers! Super proud of them all!
