🚨SPECIAL! SPECIAL! SPECIAL! ‼️

I hope you guys are all well and have had a good season 🐴.

I have been offered a limited supply of building materials at pre-covid prices, meaning I can pass these savings on to you for custom-built XC jumps at 2020 prices!

These are somewhat shorter lengths, not suitable for First Start jumps unfortunately, but they are very suitable for skinnies and I can build a few jumps at standard length (3.6m).

You’ll have to be quick to secure these prices - I need to confirm order quantities by lunchtime on Tuesday, and a 50% deposit will be required by Wednesday.

The range of jumps is not limited to what’s listed here - we can make whatever you would like - just PM me and I can send you a quote.

Order your XC jumps for the upcoming season at a discounted price now, and have them ready to enjoy for the summer that will surely arrive at some point! 🤦‍♀️😂

Good afternoon!
Keep an eye out on this page in the next few days for Karaka XC jumps coming up for sale!

In the meantime, I’m hoping you guys might be able to help me out with a special project I’m doing.

I am looking for the following items to borrow for Brookby Horse Trial coming up at the end of November.
Does anyone happen to have:

- large metal buckets/pails
- large garden gnomes
- wooden boxes (like crates/fruit boxes)
- old style jute sacks
- big milk cans
- wooden oars
- wooden dinghy
- wooden wheelbarrow
- wagon wheels
- old style bicycles
- oak wine barrels or half barrels
- concrete animal garden sculptures
- large pumpkins or gourds
- ummm… a lighthouse?! Height 1 metre plus 🤔
- corrugated iron

Yes I know it’s a bit of a strange list!
If you can offer any of the above for the 23rd to the 28th November it would be amazingly appreciated!

PM me 🤠

And don’t forget to enter the HT when entries open!

I’m not gonna lie, I t’s been a rather s**t year. One of those that you just want to be over and done with, after a whole lot of upheaval and huge unplanned changes.

As part of that, I’ve had to make the difficult decision to leave the property that Karaka XC was built on, and with it, my dream of creating a cool little XC facility that was really only in its infancy. Therefore, unfortunately Karaka XC will not reopen for schooling.

I’m more than gutted – I really loved the creative side of jump building, and loved watching riders having a great time enjoying them, as well as my own kids trying them out and watching the confidence they and their horses have developed.

Some of the xc jumps have already sold, and to be honest it’s been really sad for me watching them head off to their new homes.

I would love to keep a hand in the building of new jumps, so please message me if you’re after anything. I will also have a list up in the next few weeks of “second hand but near new” jumps that are still available to purchase.

I’m a little time-poor at the moment, with work, study, and caring for my daughter who has broken her ankle (there goes the first half of her season!), so I will get to that part of it when I can.

Thank you to everyone who has visited Karaka XC, and for your kind words of encouragement about the facility - it’s really meant a lot to me and I’m just disappointed that I have not been able to continue on with my little project that was my passion and enjoyment.

All the best for the coming season, to you and your trusty steeds!
xx

Afternoon! Does anyone have a lozenge or barrel running gag bit 5 to 5.5 inch that they would be willing to lend for the next 2 weeks, or sell?
Cannot find anything in NZ currently!
Not bothered if it’s loose ring or eggbutt 🙂
Please let me know 🙏🤞

EDIT: All sorted 😎
