Thank you Tasmanian Pinto Society, Inc. fabulous award night. Riverton Lodge Pat’s Gift had an amazing 23/24 show season. Being awarded Equal Overall Hi Point Led, Owner Breeder Exhibitor, Filly under 2 yrs, Hi Point 10.2hh & under, 10.2hh & Under Open Performance. Plus runner up in Best Presented. I’d like to thank sponsors Free Spirit Stud Vicki Gee, Suebi’s Sue Cameron, Springlea Leonie Baker, Fabulist Images Suzane Longstaff. Floof is a sweet pony but it was all made possible by the gift that Pat Hodgetts gave us when she gifted her mare Paluka Bobbies Gift to me and of course have to thank our Stallion Timarron Cottage Sonatra Floofs sire.
Thanks again to everyone that came along tonight I hope you had a great time and to all the other sponsors, a big thank you without you our awards nights wouldn’t be so amazing and to our President Sam Downham and our current committee well done xx 💕
Without our amazing sponsors we couldn’t run our amazing Hi Point Awards…….
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our 2023/2024 Hi Point 10.2hh & under open performance - Sponsor Riverton Lodge Stud
We would like to thank them for their support of the society and their sponsorship of the 23/24 Hi Point Awards
Our new arrivals. Born of course in the worst of weather. Mum and bubs were quickly relocated from paddock to hay barn and all doing very well.
Remember this duo? This is Gordy and I and we have signed up for the Tas Pinto Gear Up hours program to get ourselves motivated again. We get rewarded for the hours we spend exploring in the bush, pottering around the paddocks, at clinics or training days and it’s super simple to join and record hours.
So if you are looking for a program for your Pinto or non Pinto, that is fun and non competitive then maybe the Tas Pinto Society Gear Up program is for you.
Be like Gordy and I and join the Gear Up program! See the flyer for more info.
Look out wide load coming

Old girl is Mascara I should if known as her daughter Revlon is right there lol , Tiki the black and white and Kathleen almost at the end before Gayle who I got mixed up with Mercy. Not too bad. My girls have been on scrub clean up.

Arrived early hours this morning. First foal by our new stallion Kilpara Park Monopoly out of Coco. Colt - Good height and super nice head.
This boy has become available please contact if interested. Will be testing to check if homozygous pinto.
They didn’t know I was taking this. Suzane Longstaff you are so sunburnt no wonder you felt sick. Again the ribbons really mean nothing compared to these moments
Our “Pat’s Gift” enjoying some treats with mum. I’m going to spoil this one rotten. She is getting her foal mask and skin is so dark underneath. If she ends up same colour as mum with the white I’ll be over the moon. 💕 Sire Timarron Cottage Sonatra Dam Paluka Bobbies Gift. Grass was getting a bit long in backyard Bobbies soon sorted that out lol #nofuelrequired #shetlandpony
Check this little surprise out. We welcome to Riverton Lodge - Pat’s Gift. Chestnut and white filly who arrived at 1.57am today. Mum showed no signs of being in foal until she bagged up and waxed yesterday. Lol fabulous surprise. Sire Timarron Cottage Sonatra Dam Paluka Bobbies Gift. Still very new and unscrunching video taken just after sunrise.
Whilst Hunter might be the last foal of the season and certainly the smallest, he makes up for his size in cuteness and a bit of sass thrown in. He is quickly catching up though and doesn’t let any of the older lot give him too much trouble. Mums and bubs enjoyed a smorgasbord of veggies and fruit today. Sweet potato, lettuce, carrots, apples, grapes and watermelon. Will be moving them all to lush green paddock next week to do some more growing, filling out and exploring.
