Thanks for being awesome Chloe Love 💝

I have been lucky enough to experience an amazing boss in my working career (who is now also a big part of my family) that was big on ensuring his workers who went above and beyond were always rewarded for their efforts.

Today we passed on this gratitude to our beloved stablehand and lead rider Chloe Love.

Her unbelievably hard work ethic has not gone un-noticed.
Chloe came to work this morning cussing as to "who parked a float in her park bay" to wondering why there was a bow on it? Followed by lots of tears.

You're welcome Chlo - enjoy your new wheels & thanks for all you do 💜

Today we ride for you Emy ❤️

🥳Affinity Flyer you've done it again today on the Gold Coast 🥳

These happy tears just never get old do they 🥰

03/10/2023

Words can't express how sorry we are that our amazing sponsor is going through this now.

If we can ask, that if you can, please support her anyway you can.
Just doesn't deserve it 💔

We love you Emy & are sending all our strength to you.
You've got this!

Hey Everyone,

This is a really raw, honest and emotional post to share with you all, but we feel necessary to let you in on the reasons why we have been so quiet with our business over the past few months. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was thrown into the full-on and scary process of getting scans, biopsies done and then once our fears were confirmed by my GP, I had to have surgery and then start 5 months worth of chemotherapy. Our lives were completely turned upside down from that moment being diagnosed and hearing those words become our new reality. Our new reality was actually the start of Heath’s second journey with cancer after he lost his first wife to bowel cancer at a young age. You cannot begin to imagine how hard this was and still is for Heath to go through this for a second time and the guilt and pain I have felt for having to put him through it, knowing full well it’s not my fault and is just the cards I am dealt.

On Tuesday this week, I completed 15 rounds of chemotherapy and I can now close that chapter and step towards the next part of this crazy ride we are on. I’ll have another 2 surgeries and targeted radiation everyday for 5 weeks. I’m really fortunate to have an absolutely amazing treating team who have really done their best for me and are confident I’ll be ok in time once all steps of the process are completed. The photo below is of us down in Sydney seeing one of Australia’s best breast cancer surgeons, I was also only a day or two out of the RPA Hospital ICU unit 😣 thanks to complications from treatment.

As you can imagine with the above news, we were both mentally, emotionally and physically exhausted, drained and doing all we could to work, run our farm and get through the many months of treatment. We decided the best way for us both to get through it was to completely focus on us and to press the pause button on Oatis & Honey for a while. We simply couldn’t cope with all the aspects of our business while we were going through something as traumatic as we were. Those close to us, who knew what was happening and helped to keep the Oatis & Honey name going in the months we were quiet and through some of our most toughest & hardest days - WE LOVE YOU & WE THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!! I’d cry happy tears every time I saw you tag us or comment your recommendation of our products or posted your photos of your O&H rugs and riding tights 🥰 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it means so so much to us 🙏🏼💗🙏🏼

We plan on continuing our business slowly and we are also in the process of expanding our range and are making a few exciting changes to our current horse rug designs. This will of course happen a lot slower than hoped, as I still have a lot on my plate treatment and surgery wise. We would also like to clear out our warehouse of stock so we can make way for the new designs and range of rugs we already have in the pipeline from our suppliers . To help us clear the decks, we will be running a bunch of sales and discounts on all remaining stock over the next few weeks and months. We really need your help to get the word out to the Aussie horse communities by sharing, commenting, liking and/or tagging your horsey friends in the posts we share from our page or in horse related sales groups on Facebook - We really need your support and love on social media to be able to do this successfully and to be able to bring you new and exciting products we know you & your horse will absolutely love 🥰 if you are looking to buy rugs or riding tights, please keep us in mind when purchasing as I’m sure we will have some good deals running to ensure you save a few pennies and as always - free shipping Australia wide.

Again, we’d like to thank all of those who knew our secret battle and helped to keep the Oatis & Honey name alive during our absence, you know who you are and you are all absolutely amazing! Thank you!!! We would also like to thank our friends and family for all the support, cooked meals, help with the horses, sheep and lambs, packing and posting/delivering orders, the housework and cleaning, the hugs, the chats, the phone calls and well wishes - Thank you all so very much 💗 I’d also like to give a very special mention to the most amazing future hubby in the world - Heath - you are one amazing man, my rock, my everything! I love you with all my heart 💜 I couldn’t have come this far without you by my side.

I realise this is a long, hard hitting post to read, it may also come as quite the shock as well … I still can’t believe how quickly life was put on its head but day by day we will keep pushing forward as best as we can and do our best to stay positive. Ladies (& gents) - check and know your body! If something doesn’t feel right go get it checked immediately. I went as soon as I noticed something wasn’t quite right and I’m very lucky I did because if I didn’t my final outcome wouldn’t be as good as it is now.

With so much love,

Emy & Heath 🏇🏼💕

We are a young couple having only been together for just over 2 months, with a long road ahead of us (more so Elliot putting up with me - I'm sure), we are full of determination and focus.

Massive shout out to Lisel Dingley - your help from the sidelines to get ourselves into gear asap and make it happen! Could not have done it without you 🤗

As always my amazing stable hand and lead rider, Chloe Love. If any groom was to be cloned it would be you!

What a truly great experience to be part of.
Elliot and Jess demo rode and were fitted by Prestige Saddles and Edwards Saddleworld on the Gold Coast last week.
The difference is unreal. The super comfy lounge chair of a saddle (D2K) just got even more comfortable. 💕
Thank you!!

It’s Hack to Track, Track to Hack & then Hack to Track again for the lovely Miss MiMi owned by the Ikin Family.

Mimi was started here Affinity Park Equine where she dabbled in Flatwork, mustering & small jumps. Mimi then started her gallop work & barrier training with us before heading to the Gold Coast for her first prep.

Returning to us for her spell, we waved our wand & MiMi happily stepped out into the Show world to bring home a 2nd in her OTT Led at Chinchilla Show.
The best part is she travels well, eats, drinks, stands for everything & has zero stress.
Why? Because she’s a horse before she’s a galloper.

We are firm believers the training before & during a race career makes for a much more willing, settled animal & safer mount for their jockey.

Helps that she’s absolutely beautiful too.🥰

Congrats Ikin family 🎉 we can offically say MiMi is a pleasure to work with.

Roma Show 2023 saw the beautiful OTT “Power & Pride” take out Champion Novice Hack & the ever cute “Bells Mountain Paragon” take home a win in his Led Welsh & Reserve in his ridden.

Both horses are so young & we could not be happier to have their behavior nothing short of impeccable both inside & out of the show ring.

As we all know some horses look the part in the ring but can make for hard work behind the scenes & visa versa.
We work hard to make sure our clients horses are well rounded & settled regardless.

Massive thank you to their owners for allowing us to bring them along & of course to the Roma Show society & all the sponsors who make these events possible.




As always thanks to those who support us ☺️

Following on from Miss Tilly's arrival with Zane came the opportunity to sort out this show pony verses trotters fear!

Guess this is one way to know when those carts come out at a show - you're sorted 💁‍♀️

09/05/2023

We thought we had most basis covered as far as disciplines on our property go.....but then came "Tilly" our token trotter.

A shout out is long overdue to Zane and Karen Quaedvleig.
Zane has been training this mare with such thoroughness , care and compassion since she arrived here Affinity Park Equine.

It was a proud moment to watch her trial last weekend for a very healthy second and we continue to wish this pair every success.

It's a privilege to care for Miss Tilly with you and watch her career grow.

Love the mare's race name - "Travlininstyle" - one to follow.

Wondering around in the afternoon looking at how much work has gone into this place to have it the way it is today.

Super proud of the beautiful horses & fantastic clients & agistees we have surrounded ourselves with.
