Another monthly post- some super talented horses and ponies Iโ€™ve had the pleasure of working with.

Some lucky horses have been getting weekly activo-med treatments and it definitely has helped with their recovery at the end of each week.

Currently booked out for all of August then have space available end of September- Mid December.

Some frequently asked questions:
- Are the schoolers paddocked with others or by themselves?
All my schoolers have individual paddocks
- Can I bring more than 1 rug?
Yes! Iโ€™d rather have too many rugs than not enough
- Do I need to bring hay and hard feed?
Yes please, I recommend all schoolers coming with hard feed and hay (sometimes have hay for sale so will mention this when booking if possible)

I have very limited breaking in and schooling spaces available due to cancellations, coming up in the next few months, very rarely spaces come up this quickly. Perfect time to get your horse or pony back in work or some extra schooling before show season!

Lessons also available this long weekend, and most weekends through winter.

A little progress post about Ned for those interested ๐ŸŽ 

He has just come back into full work, was a beautiful afternoon to have a schooling session and a hack round the big paddock.

Enjoying the journey and challenge, patience and time is the key

Gelding, 123cm, 13 years old

TeeCee has been here for 2 weeks schooling and he is an absolute delight.

He is a forward moving pony would suit a lead rein home or a confident kid in first ridden or the open ring.
He would enjoy dressage, really easy pony to have around and great with kids.

Will only go to an approved home as he is very special

I am so excited to announce I am now a brand ambassador for The Animal Therapeutics
Activo-Med massage therapy rugs โค๏ธ

We have been using these rugs for years and have had great results. It is always part of my daily routine with my horses, great for muscles, stress, travel, and overall health and well being. I have decided to offer treatment sessions for other people also!
This is also a great asset for schoolers or breakers that are staying here and it will be an option on my agreement for, I highly recommend it as they get a lot of work during their stay.
Our horses thoroughly enjoy it and it makes such a difference.

How it helps:
- Improves suppleness
- Increases muscle tone
- Good for overall condition including for box rested horses
- Boost energy in lazier horses
- Relax hot horses
- Beneficial to warm up routine
- Deal with any minor issues in recovery so they donโ€™t become major issues

How it works:

The Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) elements use a range of selected therapeutic frequencies to help promote cell efficiency and recovery. Massage panels support blood flow to the heard in conformity to the blood circulation and lymphatic system.

Riders are using Activo-Med systems to support both performance and rehabilitation, assisting the treatment of issues such as colic, ulcers, muscle tears, arthritis, sacroiliac issues, laminitis, metabolic disorders, splints and fractures, and ligament and tendon injuries.

Pm me if youโ€™d like to treat your horse to a massage ๐Ÿ’†โ€โ™€๏ธ

About me

I have competitively been riding in the show ring since I was 4 years old starting in the lead rein. I have had huge success right through the pony rings, especially on Uptown Charlie Brown who holds many titles across NZ including my rider titles on him. I have novice ponies coming out soon and a thoroughbred off the track.

I try to get my ponies/horses using themselves properly and let them naturally come down into a frame, I focus on getting the most out of the pony/horse I am riding. I have broken in many ponies/horses starting from my 12.2h pony when I was only 11 and many others for myself and other people over the years, so I have plenty of experience. I get regular lessons from a top dressage coach, Debbie Nelson, who is always teaching me new ways to school and get the horse/pony to work off my leg and into the bit. So I am always adding to my knowledge for schooling my own ponies/horses and my clients.

Services I offer include:


  • Schooling for ponies and horses
  • Nearby pet stores & pet services
