Happy Birthday to our sweet, calm, and gentle giant, Buckles! You're more than just a horse; you're a beloved member of our family. Your gentle spirit and kind eyes bring joy to everyone you meet. We're so grateful for your companionship and love. May your birthday be filled with plenty of treats, soft grass, and lots of cuddles. Happy Birthday, Buckles!
Here's Buckles having an eq-wine with our gorgeous guest Genevieve on the weekend 🐴🍷
Over the weekend, we embarked on our annual BYO Horse 3-day adventure. This cherished tradition, shared with our dear friends, is always a highlight of the year.
As we ventured through breathtaking landscapes, we forged a deeper connection with our equine companions. Each ride was a testament to the growing trust between horse and rider. Confidence was gained as we navigated the shifting sands and crashing waves. And of course, no adventure is complete without a glass of wine or two, shared laughter, and the joy of friendship! 🐴🥂

It was our great pleasure to showcase our beautiful region to four esteemed guests from Tasmania, who are highly accomplished dressage and showjumping riders. They enthusiastically embraced the bitless approach, showcasing their exceptional skill and remarkable adaptability. And they were all treat monsters, so the horses loved them to bits. 🐴❤️
Tales to inspire: 'I feel incredibly blessed to have been on this trip with such an amazing group of women. Everyone radiated happiness and warmth, thanks to the amazing home you have created Tiff with your parents. You put such beautiful energy into the world with your horses and we are all lucky to be a part of it for those few days. Thank you also Bernie for your warmth, kindness and gentle reminders that it is important that we take this time for ourselves.
I’ve left this trip wondering when I can book another but more so, how I can find a way to make a horse a part of my life. I would really love to have that connection and bond that you spoke to beautifully about Tiff.
It was a wonderful experience and I can’t speak more highly of it.
Thank you Bernie and Christine for more great photos and videos. I think Buckley the seahorse will be one of my favourite memories from the trip.
Such amazing photos that captured a truly magnificent weekend that exceeded my expectations in so many ways. Thank you all so very much! ❤️'

Here's our guests enjoying a wine tasting with their horse. Or maybe it's the horses who are enjoying the wine tasting!
Oh dear, look at all those tongues in wine glasses! 🤪🥂🦄
We had the most incredible horseback riding adventure in the Shoalhaven with our recent guests! 🐎✨ From relaxed beach rides to thrilling bush canters, every moment was pure bliss. We even enjoyed wine tasting with our trusty steeds. There was so much laughter, joy, and a few happy tears along the way. I'll never forget the giggles and screams of laughter as we let our horses have a thrilling run through the bush. And the huge smiles afterwards. It's definitely one I'll never forget!
We had a guest who politely asked for a palomino Barbie horse for her 3-day ride this weekend. It's her childhood dream to ride one. So, we had to give Phoenix a glow up so he'll be ready for his paparazzi shots.

The Significance of Pausing
During our ride Prosecco encountered an echidna, prompting him to pause and process the situation. I patiently waited until he flicked an ear back towards me, indicating his readiness to continue. However, Prosecco requested more time to process, so I obliged. Shortly after, I inquired about resuming our walk, and he calmly stepped forward with a lowered head and a softness in his body.
Upon revisiting the same spot later, it was evident that Prosecco recalled the presence of the echidna. Nevertheless, this time we trotted past the area without any hesitation.
It is within these moments of pause that a profound trusting connection is forged.
