Dom is amazing in helping keep your equine partner in tip top shape. Only six weeks until the new season starts so make sure your horse is rearing to go. 🐎

Looking forward to meeting some more of our new Northland community 💞

Last call for dressage entries for June 28th.
We will be doing all tests on Sunday and I will set up two 40x20m arenas at the ends with a warm up area in the middle. This is so we can get through them all in one day and I may actually get a day off on Saturday, (yeah right 🥴).

POLE CLINIC at NORTHGATE LODGE
Wednesday July 8th in school holidays.
Small group of 4 horses or ponies.
$40 per horse.
PM me if you would like to book a space with preferred time, morning or afternoon.

Pole work acts as equine Pilates, enhancing your horse's core stability, balance, and suppleness. By encouraging the horse to lift its feet and engage its hindquarters, this low-impact exercise increases joint flexibility, improves body awareness, and builds strength without putting excessive strain on their tendons.

Entries will close on Saturday 20th 5pm for the dressage on June 28th.
I will then decide if we need to do it over two days or if we can squish it into one.
PM me on the Northgate Lodge page to enter with horse and rider name and which level.
Level 1 may be on Saturday 27th and level 0 on Sunday if we need to split it.

If you are entering the dressage for June 28th & July 5th please let me know if you want to enter one or both days.
Please also let me know if you would be available on Saturday to ride.
We are almost at capacity for one day already so if we get more entries we will do Level 1 on Saturday and 0 level on Sunday probably. 🤔
