Just back from Melbourne after a week of Feldenkrais training - our last residential before we graduate after 3 plus years of training next February. Beautiful country venue, excellent course, supportive colleagues, and steep learning curve😅. Had a great flight home - how beautiful is Coffs Harbour? 💕

With the drier weather, we are finally getting some quality time with Bodie who is in the process of being backed. A closeup of his handsome face as he waits for his turn 🥰.

The journey to become a Feldenkrais practitioner continues. Steep learning curve but tons of fun surrounded by talented colleagues.

06/07/2023

Finally getting around to training my 2 young horses. Photo of Bodie encouraging Esky, as it is her first time with the saddle pad on. Bridling and girthing went well and now onto more ground work over the next few weeks….hopefully not too long before they are backed.

06/04/2023

We were expecting a lot of rain instead of this beautiful autumn weather. Not complaining! Photos of Tango, Esky and Piah enjoying their morning.

23/03/2023

From a wee shy foal, Bodie, our golden gelding by Bellario, has matured into a beautiful young man. Can’t wait to see how he goes when we back him over winter.

02/01/2023

!! Happy New Year!! 🥳 We celebrated the first ride of the year. Pictured left to right - Beau, me, Mima who flew back from Tokyo over Christmas, and Sparrow, our schoolmaster. Looking forward to working with you all this year!

Learning takes form in different ways and in different places: in Sydney last week for the annual Feldenkrais practitioners course retreat. Really enjoyed the company of fellow students and the beautiful grounds. By becoming a practitioner in a few year’s time, I hope to add another dimension to riding and coaching 😃.

07/07/2022

Finally some break from the rain and we have a visitor: a Dorper Lamb, with yellow tag in it ear. Awesome, our mini, was raised on a sheep farm. He is our ambassador and speaks Sheep. The creature will not leave his side. Not sure if it will be around tomorrow but do contact me if you know its owner!

30/03/2022

Finally some blue skies after 300mm of rain over the past few days…..

25/02/2022

Hope you are all keeping safe and dry. Some scenes from the last few days: flooded arena, waiting patiently in the shed for the rain to let up during feed time, and little frogs enjoying the weather!

08/12/2021

Of course it rained during feed time, but the play of light was glorious this late afternoon.

21/11/2021

Thought my young teenage students would be interested: Trip down memory lane - myself as a 14 year old, competing in jumping at Baji Koen (long before facelift for the recent Olympic Venue in Tokyo) on Cookie, a school horse owned by Avalon Riding Club.

22/08/2021

I’ve been caught wearing my special gum boots 😂, and preparing Ella for a ride. It has taken time, but we have been carefully easing Ella back into fitness since her broodmare duties (aka ‘time off’, as she needed to recover from a minor fracture of her splint bone). Very pleased that she has remained sound and excited that we can continue her education!

31/07/2021

Very first post of the year and August is almost upon us!! Thank you to the students who waited patiently while I went through health issues requiring 2 surgeries over the first half of the year. The ‘Repair and Maintenance’ went well and here I am with our school horse, Sparrow, and Beau.

22/12/2020

Christmas came early for me. There is nothing quite so exciting than riding with my otherwise non-horsey daughter, Mima, in the arena. Mima, you look really good on Sparrow ! Keep it up❣️

15/12/2020

If not the bushfire, it’s the flood. We recorded over 200mm+ of rain over the last 2.5 days. Our seasonal creek came alive with gusto, our main dam overflowed, and our arena resembled a shallow wading pool. All horses coping well.

09/11/2020

Feeling extremely popular as I wash the water trough 🥰

22/09/2020

Hope everyone is keeping safe. Photos from today riding our first born, Beau (sire: Bellario imp/exp) in our grass arena. Thanks to Mima (my own offspring!) for taking the photos. A perfect way to celebrate my birthday 😊

01/05/2020

In the meanwhile, Piah (sire:Prestige VDL) is enjoying the autumn cool. Almost 7 months old and still gangly, she is currently undergoing gradual weaning. She is casual about being on her own for the morning, but then can’t get enough of her mum when back together 😃.

25/04/2020

We raise our youngsters with much care and love (+carrots), but the downside is that they never miss an opportunity to come and say hello so hard to take decent photos. Our 2.5 yr olds are doing well - Bodie (by Bellario) is already 16hh and is a big red with full mane and tail. Esky (by Versace) is long legged dainty beauty who expects to be treated like royalty. We always end up scrunched up together for a selfie 😊.

06/04/2020

Hope everyone is keeping safe! Our very first post since the fires in November. The farm has since been flooded, had swarming insects and now we all need to do our bit to ‘flatten the curve’ of the dreaded COVID. But with a bit of sun out, we have been making the most of it by forging ahead with post-fire recovery/enhancement projects. Many thanks to those who are hard at work on the farm.

13/11/2019

Thank you for all the messages and emails enquiring after us. It has been devastating few days in Nana Glen with our street making the national bush fire headlines. Yesterday afternoon, the fire swiftly tore through our street. Lucky that we heeded the evacuation notice when we did. Someone above was looking after us: all horses and chickens(!) accounted for. Moreover, despite living in a dense grove of gum trees, our home and cottage remained intact. We thank the excellent work by the local RFS and all of our neighbours who bravely stayed on and remained vigilant while the fires were being put out. Extremely sad for those who lost their homes. May our street rise again proud from the ashes.

07/10/2019

And we have a foal! Introducing MF Pramada, a tall filly by Prestige VDL (imp) out of a dam carrying Ex Libris/Donnerhall lines born 3 Oct. Unique bling with 3 stockings, a broad blaze plus a super cute set of ears! Paddock name TBA. She will be retained by the stud as future performance/breeding prospect.
