SCHOOL HOLIDAYS ARE COMING and will be here before we know it!

Checking in with my clients … what do we want to see these holidays?

“Holiday DAY programs” …. Drop your kids and their ponies off for a day of fun, learning, friendships and pony magic!

“EQUINE CONNECT” … formally known as BOOTCAMP …. 3 sessions in one week to really enhance learning and solidify skills and improvements - improving skills, understanding, connection, and confidence.

That’s a wrap!!! Congratulations to all the riders who participated in the School Holiday Boot Camp programme over the last two weeks!

All 8 riders showed amazing enthusiasm, dedication and beautiful attitudes towards improving their riding and getting more connected and working as a team with their horses!

I have absolutely loved coaching this programme, so it will be back again next school holidays.

Each and every rider should be so proud of the improvements they have made - I have seen confidence improved - resulting in a more relaxed rider and therefore a more relaxed, and happy horse. I have seen riders start to really understand how to work WITH their horses to achieve fabulous results. I have seen riders working hard at improving their position, their clarity of aids, and being open to trusting their horses.

It has been a fabulous couple of weeks and I am impressed with every single rider!

Thank you for trusting me to coach you through these past two weeks! And I look forward to continuing to be a part of you and your horses riding journey !

“Out-and-about with confidence” is an integral part of my regular riders programme and so good for both horse and rider 🦄🤍 today I took out 3 of my regular riders - Dylan, Lyla and Phoebe. Dylan had his first ride out at the forest completely off lead, working on relaxing his body when he got worried, and trusting in his horse Kasper, who did a fabulous job looking after his rider. Lyla took the lead today, showing the massive improvements she’s made in confidence with her young mare - and Phoebe and her divine pony Holly followed along on a loose rein just enjoying their time together. So proud of these kids 🤍🦄

Seeking a new best friend? …. introducing Moro 💛

14.2hh life cert, 19 yr old buckskin mare. A genuine unicorn.

I have known, and had the pleasure of having this divine mare grazing with us for the past 6 years and it is now time for her to find her new, hopefully forever, best friend to bring them as much joy as she has brought her previous families.

Super easy, low maintenance type - great in a herd, not mare-ish, easy keeper, barefoot - great for farrier, dentist, worming, clipping, to catch/handle, etc. absolutely zero dirt at all - a genuinely lovely, kind pony who loves to be fussed over. Snaffle mouth, typically more whoa than go.

Over the past 6 years she has done: pony club, ribbon days (always coming home with ribbons), mini ODEs, show hunter to 70cm, winter dressage days, holiday programs, clinics, and plenty of beach/forest/farm hacking.

Moro has had a fairly relaxed life over the last couple years, due to rider commitments, and is currently in light work. Easy to leave for a couple weeks off and just hop on. Despite her age she has plenty of riding years left in her, however we are looking for a home that offers a low level and relaxed, varied, lifestyle as we believe this is what she deserves - she has given so much to her humans throughout her life!

Moro doesn’t expect you to be a perfect rider, she is patient and kind and always try’s her absolute best to look after you!

This has been a very difficult decision, she is one special pony. We would love if she could continue to graze here - with her little herd of buddies. We have an arena and hacking onsite. As well as full support/coaching if needed in a lovely community type environment, and plenty of people to ride, and go out with!

Alternatively, a home with other equine friends is very important - we do not wish for her to be on her own as she’s always known the comfort’s of a herd.

Approved home only.
