We had a visit from our angels today 🐴🌈🕊️

It is with heavy hearts that we announce our beloved Mr Bear passed over the rainbow bridge this afternoon.. 🕊️❤️‍🩹🌈

In his 31 years of life, Bear was many things. In his early years he was a racehorse under the racing name “Kennewick Man”. He was then a dressage mount with the show name “Killawarra”, Virginia’s loyal partner. He was then a teacher, a fundamental figure of WRRS Orielton and later Wynyard.
But most of all, Bear was so loved. He touched the lives of many and made a lasting impact for riders and non-riders alike.
He was there when Baby was born, ran with her as she grew up, and then watched her give birth to her very own foal (our stunning Chiron). He was the grandfather of the herd, giving out many corrections over the years. He’s watched horses and students come and go, feared the red dragon (the Polaris), spooked at new neighbours (cows that had been opposite him for 4 years), taught the young ones, fed the ducks, and in the last years of his life ran alongside fellow senior Possum. These two grumpy old men were always a sweet sight to see, the short and the tall of it (so to speak).

Last week, an ex-student came to say their goodbyes and gave Bear his bobbed tail. We recommend you read the poem “The best horses in heaven have no tail” by Miska Paget if you aren’t aware of the meaning behind it.
There are so many things we could write about Bear, so many memories and moments. A Facebook post doesn’t seem nearly enough. We understand this is heartbreaking news for many, so to try and ease the grief and celebrate his life, we would love to hear your favourite memories/moments with Bear.
Share photos and stories, and let’s celebrate the life of an amazing horse that was Mr Bear🐻🪽

Lastly from those you left behind,
We hope you’re running freely along a river of molasses, surrounded by buckets of apples and carrots. We hope you’ve reunited with your girl Hara, and that you’re both galloping without the restraints of age. We hope you know how loved you are, and how many people have a Bear-shaped hole in their hearts now you are gone.
Rest easy now, Bear. We love you ❤️‍🩹

Here are some snaps from our last holiday camp✨

Showjumping and the infamous Pony Presentation were the highlights for this group, it was so great to see the more experienced riders demonstrating and sharing knowledge with the other students. It was such fun!

A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated🐴❤️

Here are some snaps from our first April holiday camp last week🐴✨
We had such a great group with some familiar faces and some brand new, and what fun we had!
The students participated in a number of different games, such as mug races and bending, as well as show jumping and barrel racing. It was so nice seeing the arena filled with ponies and some of the bigger horses!
Super proud of everyone’s efforts, we cannot wait to see what this week’s camp brings!

A massive congratulations to Lilly Mace and her horses, Winnie and Hugo, for their fantastic performance and great win at the Pony Club Championships last weekend! Winning the Grade 1 Equitation Championship (for the third consecutive year!) and coming 4th in the Grade 1 Championship.
Lilly is an ex student of WRRS Orielton, learning on our very own Penny, Possum, and angel Sophia. Pictured below is Lilly on her first pony, Bullseye, in April of 2016..
To say we’re proud is an understatement!! She has certainly come a long way, it has been such a pleasure to watch and be apart of her journey.

Thank you to all the team at the Inglis Pony Club for organising such a good weekend!🐴❤️

WRRS goes to the Wynyard Show!

Wow. There really are no words for how proud we are of the students and families of WRRS. Yesterday was a perfect example.

• Thea and Ohana did fantastic in the equestrian arena. Both their ponies looked incredibly smart and their collection of ribbons speaks for itself!!
• Jazella’s entries found her in 1st and 2nd place for photography, they are amazing!
• Lisa won Grand Champion Craft Exhibit with her beautifully crafted cat featuring strands of Daffy’s tail for the whiskers!! How creative!

Congratulations all 🏅🤩❤️

Some snaps from our most recent Fun Day🐴❤️

Such a great little group with four ponies coming in with their riders for the day! They all participated in bending and show jumping, it was fantastic to see.
So pleased with how the students have grown into such confident young riders🤩

Enjoy these photos of Chiron from his first moments to now! He has grown into such a beautiful boy (just not out of his cheeky personality yet😆)

Yesterday we celebrated a very special birthday. The baby of the herd, Chiron, officially turned 2 years old! Little man is not so little anymore🥹🐴🎉
Keep an eye out for a post showing his growth over the last two years!

P.S Apparently Chiron doesn’t share the same affinity for molasses as Mr Bear and Skye, more cake for them!🤣
