Late winter early spring rides. Dogs and ponies and Clydies!
It is rare to get such perfect winter weather on a Sunday so of course we had to spend it putting the first ride on the "Unbroken" Clydie mare. Look out Ellie(phant), you might have to earn your keep!
This weekend we spent our time at a horsemanship clinic with Cody Rawson-Harris with Havana. We watched and participated for two days and at the end of the weekend we were able to put the first ride on Havana.
It's been a busy week at Otway View. Willow is having her 2 year old prep and handling everything like a pro. We like our 2 year olds to experience all the things we expect of them as a riding horse before we turn them out and start again as 3 year olds. We find that horses handled well from birth take to the process easily and without stress. Willow is handling the dog in a rainbow Cape without incident.
TM Leviathan is now out and about with Emma Russell Eventing. Look at this sweet baby horse round today. Levi was clear SJ and XC with 70% in his dressage. Good Job Levi and Emma. For those interested Levi will be competing at DJWTS next Thursday in the Performance Pony class! Come along and cheer him on!!
TM Amazing
New paddock feels. TM Amazing has grown into a very pretty yearling. Sorry everyone. She isnt for sale. She is currently 14.1hh so on track to make her expected height of 16hh+

TM Supersonic, float load training.
