It's been a big few weeks for our little lady Charlotte P aka Lottie. She was weaned, enjoyed a trip to the beach with her little friend Sting and Aaron and I, and competed at the showcase today in Gore, her first "solo flight".
Nothing is too big an ask for this wee girl, as long as you ask nicely ;) (one is the daughter of a diva afterall).
I was so proud of her being sashed Reserve Champion A Filly foal today under judge Gail Iskra. She looked smashing, she showed, she chilled at the float, she stole watermelon from the picnic basket and was just generally a little delight.
A very special little girl with a very exciting future.
Well done to everyone braving that icy weather today!

I've been remiss at keeping our horse pages updated! Today saw us take Sweetie, Lottie (her filly foal) and Clem to Taeiri A&P show. The girls, as always, were enthralled with all the glitz and glam and attention. Sweetie has missed the lime light, and was overjoyed to be back out there with her best friend Aaron. Little Lottie was a consummate professional given she's not long worn a halter for the first time... Clem thought the picnic lunch was AMAZING.
Some great results - notable were Champion Cat A Youngstock for our baby girl Lottie, Champ Cat B and overall Supreme Exhibit for Sweetie and a credible 2nd for Clem in the hunter ring.
We met our lovely friends, Jana, Michael and their gorgeous girls Edelle and Bell there and they showed Sweetie and Lottie in the colour classes, winning both the A and B broken colour classes. (And both piloted Clem round the hunter course).... not to bad for 2 wee girls who've never shown before!

Percy and his awesome little human were also competing- so proud of this young lady. Grace he looked amazing! Grace's little performance mare was overall Supreme performance- no mean feat with some seasoned campaigners out today.

Another highlight was the look a delight on the lovely Debbie's face at her well earned Supreme A.

As always, ribbons last but a moment, memories forever! Lovely day thanks everyone.

A few snaps - Hopefully I'll get a few more glamour shots to follow.

Wishing you a Spooktacular Hallowe'en from these little witches in training...

06/10/2019

Winter is slowly letting go down here in South Otago, and with the longer days we are managing to squeeze in some family time.... Tilly and little Lottie are still absolutely besotted with one another.... I am watching this little friendship with a slightly bemused expression because both little girls are fairly opinionated so I'm not entirely convinced it's a match made in heaven, but my goodness they are adorable!
Looking forward to and positive scans for our visiting mares soon, then we can get our own girls served..... busy busy time for our little farm

And so the next generation begins... a very elegant petite filly from our darling homebred AS Derivative Sweet Sensation and by the amazing Los Arboles Idols Rave Review*USA.
Please join me in welcoming this diminutive bundle of attitude and fluff to the team.
She is everything and then some!

Music and Movement Monday! Check out the videos in the comments of Theo and Percy learning to their shapes and colours and pony kindy today....

It's that awkward time of year, it's not quite full prep time yet but the schedules are coming out, the enquiries are for sale horses are increasing... and just in general we all seem to be coming out of hibernation.
It's the PERFECT time of year for building on basic skills you started teaching last year's foals, preparing them for life in the big wide world.
Along with the basics I am a huge fan of helping my horses be easy to clip - not just for showing reasons, we routinely belly clip our broodmares, it's sometimes essential for wound care etc etc.
Of course our show horses get clipped as part of their grooming routine too, I try very hard to introduce Clippers without sedation or heavy restraint and we work towards it being nothing more exciting than basic grooming.
Here's a short clip of Theos second face clip - it's far from a perfect clip, it doesn't need to be, it's a training clip. Theo is a sensitive little soul, he finds the noise of the clippers really worrying but we just take our time and this is where we end up.
He's still very much got thinking ears, and he's not totally convinced he loves it but I'm chuffed.
What's one of your essential skills you like to teach your young ones?

She was such a beautiful, cheeky, nosy little baby..... She's still just as cheeky and just as nosy, and quite an extraordinary mare... at 312 days today carrying a very precious Los Arboles Idol's Rave Review foal, the countdown is about to begin.
In true Sweetie style she tells us in no uncertain terms that she deserves cuddles, carrots and not to skimp on the molasses with her tea. She's not entirely convinced broodmaring is her "thing" and was delighted to be brought in and tidied up this afternoon. Funny funny girl! Enjoy these last few weeks Sweets, they're terrors once they arrive ;)

Massive thanks to Shona Milsom (The Horsewearhouse Ltd) for helping us make this happen!

Remember the fun art competition closes tomorrow! Still time to get creating. Charleigh was picking her favourite of our crew to draw, and testing out the Sleekez that's one of the prizes (don't worry not THE prize one, an older well loved version).... it got the thumbs up! Sweetie did her very best to win Charleigh's heart too..... how did you spend your Sunday arvo?

11/08/2019

Does it matter if you pick a different route, does it matter if your path is a little different? We all do this for the love of horses.... big little and inbetween.

07/08/2019

Have you ever tried one of these nifty little numbers? The Sleek Ez shedding blade. They are the bomb this time of year and make light work of hair and mud so your little swamp dwelling beast can enjoy a rug free sun soak and it won't take you hours to get them clean enough to 're rug!
We've got a brand new one to give away, thanks to the Horsewearhouse Ltd, as part of our art competition so get your entries in!
Open to all youths!

02/08/2019

Pretty miserable day today.... great day for being inside and working on.... you guessed it - artwork!
We thought Theo might like to have a go at drawing, but he couldn't quite get the hang of the whiteboard marker, and to make matters worse he dropped said marker in a puddle and it's no longer functional!
Finn also mentioned its quite hard to draw when your helper is trying to eat your hair...
Get your entries in! 3 cool prizes! Entries close on the 19th August

29/07/2019

Autumn afternoons reflection with Percy

08/04/2019

Our 2 beautiful 2018 born foals are both weaned now.... they are, quite simply, delightful, in every way possible! Big in personality, tiny in stature.

24/03/2019

Nothing like autumn weekends enjoying our little corner or paradise with the kids. Tilly is really getting the hang of this riding malarkey (well as much as a nearly 2year old can!) and gleefully sings about ducks and fishes and the colour purple all the way round the farm as we deliver horse feeds by Clem courier. I still hover in case the old balance isn't so flash but we're getting there! Finn is very graceful about sharing Clem (though today told me he has plans for the bigger ponies lol) though I think he'd definitely love horsepower of another kind if given the option..... nonetheless, great 2 days with so many laughs.... every paddock deserves a miniature horse, and every precious mini deserves the adoration of at least 1 person.... Clem is blessed to be adored by all of us!

21/03/2019

This little guy- oh Percy, you are just a delight. You have the biggest personality (anyone who has seen him stalk Willow whippet across the lawn, or do his squeal and leap dance of delight will attest to this), but the kindest little heart. Even after numerous pokes and jabs over the last few days he's still happy to see any of us. Tilly (fearless!!) clambered through to chat with him and did her best to try and convince him to let her "up up" .....

06/03/2019

With Autumn casting her first cool tendrils through our mornings and evenings, and coats rapidly turning we make the most of every spare sunny moment.... the boys are finished serving and this amazing little stallion WA-full Uniquie Leonardo has fitted into family life like he was born to it! He had a ball at the beach today, he willingly followed us into the water and once he realised the foam was just water too he was gleeful, he swam and shnuffled and rolled and greeted people and swam again.... he will sleep well tonight! What a great little horse he is.

27/02/2019

This little bundle of darling had her first trip away from home yesterday. We took Coco, Percy and little baby Pea to Kaka Point beach... Percy is an old hat at this now, hops up on the float, marches off down to the water, leaps and shorts and plays. Coco was unconvinced but warmed to the idea when it included treats. Little Pea got to free range - she took great delight in tearing around, unphased by where mama was, she only came back to check on her humans. To complete her day she found a surfer to stalk and a lovely German family whose little girls were utterly enamoured with our tiny golden poppet. Just another Premier born baby loving life 😍

24/02/2019

He didn't get the memo he's lame ;) precious little man. I adore his big personality and that darling little face. Oh to have known him in his early years! Photos straight out the paddock after only a small tidy up! 23/02/2019

24/02/2019

The day after he arrived... if we loved him before, we became obsessed after meeting him!
