Santa Clause flew over our place with his sleigh this week. Because of all the wind and the rain, his chariot experienced some turbulence and a variety of lollies, tinsel and baubles fell down, getting caught in the trees and various other places.
Santa messaged us to say that he would hate to be guilty of littering and would love the help of our Cashmere riders to pick up all the lollies. For our hard work in helping him out, we are allowed to keep all the lollies we find.
Let’s get treasure hunting!!!

17/12/2024

Last minute treasure hunt rides with pony club session available this afternoon from 4pm to 6pm. We have 3 spots available. Discount applies for sibling booking.

Despite all the rain we had a blast at Pony Camp 2024. No one complained about the weather and we had smiles all round.

A word about SUGAR!
We are not here to give anyone dietary advice, but we would like to explain our attitude to sugar for children. You may have noticed that for a significant time period now, we have ceased giving lollies to children. For all of our treasure hunts, we mainly provide toys, stationary, hair accessories or other little trinkets. It can be difficult to provide non sugar treats that are not just another rubbish plastic toy that nobody needs but also won’t break the bank at our end. We do the best we can to provide little rewards that aren’t too costly for us but also aren’t complete junk or yet another sugar bomb to the little bodies.
There is one exception in the year, and that is Christmas. For our Christmas treasure hunt and for pony camp, we have a few sweets for the kids and the gingerbread house making does also obvioulsy involve sugar. While we are totally opposed to all and sundry sugar on a regular basis, we have decided to be a little more lenient at Christmas in respect to traditions such as candy canes and gingerbread houses in the spirit of a RARE treat for a special occasion. We completely understand and respect if there are any parents who want to avoid sugar even (or maybe especially) at Christmas. If you are one such parent and your child is attending in this last week when we do our Christmas treasure hunts, feel free to message us directly and opt out of any lollies being given. We will do our best to cater for your child’s age and likes via small trinkets. Please give us plenty of notice (more than same day) to organise this.

Last call for orders.
We will be placing orders tomorrow midday. If you could please get your orders to us (if you haven’t already).
A number of parents have requested polos but have not provided sizes.

A number of our riders have requested Cashmere polo shirts.
Before putting in an order we thought we’d check who else needs one.
Please send us a message if you’d like one or a few. From memory in the past they cost between $40-50. We will have to get a final quote once we have an idea how many families want them.
We don’t make any profit from the shirts. We just sell them at cost price.
