Good morning! We’ve been away for a few weeks holiday exploring Bali, but will be back in cold Melbourne tonight, all hands on deck Monday. I’ll be listing a few horses for sale shortly, one of them a nice reg mare going under saddle. Not for a beginner or nervous rider but she will be fantastic for a competent rider wanting to compete in western performance. More information in the next few weeks!

Filling waters up in the drizzle and this beauty appears! Maybe there’s a pile of hay at the end of it!? 🤣

This week the weather seems to have shifted, cold, drizzling and a bit hard to get anything done outside! I’m not complaining though!!

I’ve just updated my website and added a sales page. I currently have a well bred paint bred mare offered on breeding lease, I’ve also added a few other things and will continue to add some show gear as the week rolls on. If you’ve got a moment head over and have a look 👀 if you are interested in anything , email me over on the website or message me here!

The second frost of the season this morning and at -5 it was cold 🥶… we cannot expect much growth from here out as the ground becomes to cold and everything becomes dormant over winter. Let’s pray for a lot of rain from here out, right through spring 🤞

It’s always nice when I’m starting my own, I can truly take as long as it takes to get them done, some are quicker than others. Murphy is a sweet but sensitive soul, so to make sure she is digesting the process entirely, I’m going slow … just a little sit today and ask her to move her feet quietly in a small circle. Nothing amazing there for some, but for Murphy, it’s a big step… well done baby horse ♥️

Little home bred Murphy had a second session with the saddle today, she’s handling everything so well.

Following on under saddle with groundwork techniques, asking a horse to step under and through with their inside hind on a circle.

One rein stop deployed! … I don’t often have to use it, but when I do, I’m damn glad it works!!!
