Chasing the sunrise this morning with Vinnie & Dawn.

As much as i love schooling i much prefer heading out on the farm or exporing the beach and having a friend who’s happy to do the 5am wake up call is even better!

Gosh I love Tb’s, they have such an amazing work ethic and the amount of try in them is amazing.

Vinnie and I have had about 4 “schooling “ rides together and I am trying to teach him to relax with his work and do a slower trot and take the contact before we tackle doing anything else.

I can't wait till Vinnie is strong and pushing through to show his big trot 😍

Exactly a week till Breeze competes at her first Hoy so what’s a better way to prep for it than a big ride with super views over Hawke’s Bay 🦄.

I love seeing the change that brings and Vinnie was literally glowing this morning, with his dapples popping! That VM & HP is working its magic! The change in his coat in the almost two months I've had him is unreal. 😍

Last night I was feeling lazy and was thinking I'll bail on working Breeze and enjoying hanging out with my kids. I am so glad I decided to just go and ride anyway being treated with this golden-hour sunset was good for the soul.❤️

Is it just me … or does every horse owner feel happy feels when they pull their horse's rugs off and despite needing a bath the shine that they have is shining?

Breeze was foot perfect all weekend and the highlight was the stepping out of my comfort zone and entering the fashion class. It’s not often outside of the inhand ring I will wear a dress and heels.

The pleasure ring is 1000 times harder than showing, having your horse trot & canter on a long loose rein without changing head carriage and in the same rhythm has taken some practice!

What a super show with amazing prizes!

For the amazing bags of feed, joint supplements & fencing voucher.

for the awesome rider pack prizes, Intake was well used to help Breeze drink! Thank you.

Thank you to my personal sponsors

Keeping the team moving and having balanced hooves is a must!

Danneverk A&P show weekend recap.

What a cool wee show, the novelty of having a start time was tremendous. It was like dressage but waaay more fun!

Murphy moo was the star of the weekend,

He took one for the team and we entered the Riding Horse ring so his best Mate “TC Artistry” & my good mate Lisa could get Hoy qualified, he’s not been out under saddle in a good long while and was such a well-behaved lad and didn’t give a flying toss about the shenanigans going on around the ring.

He is honestly the best and why I love a super TB, when they know their job they try their absolute best.

He’s now almost qualified for HOY so I’m teeing up with entering him in the RH ring or not?

We could crash course a fair amount of schooling in 4 week a aye?

Breeze was on Saturday in the Pleasure ring and it was a bit of a test for her with the busy atmosphere and the Show hunter jumping right next to her ring and... being in season too didn’t help with putting my leg on in canter she would change leads 😵.

I was very glad to win best presented with the work that goes into keeping her white white is so time consuming!

We got some good placings in the other classes too.

Now she heads to Wangaui showing show this weekend!!

Thank you to my sponsors

✨This resonates ✨

Here’s to all the horse girls making something out of nothing !!

23/01/2025

Breeze is off to New Zealand National Horse & Pony Show Assoc Inc. tomorrow.

I feel I need to buy shares in the purple shampoo business! She’s had 1087 shampoos this week .. and I’m not exaggerating 😂

The Golden horse ring feels very foreign because I don’t have to plait and the no Make up or false tails rule is giving my itchy fingers!

I’ll be going to be quite thankful for the 12:30 start on Saturday after catching up with a few friends for a few wines though!

🚩What says I have a type without saying I have a type!

Fun fact-

Only Ace & Dolly were full siblings. .

4 of them were Park Hacks

All Thoroughbreds

1 I owned before I even thought about showing.

2 were mares.

4 were acquired from friends.

All of them annoyed my other half when I came home with them over the last ten years , apparently he can count 😂

I can definitely say I am a sucker for an elegant brown horse though.

Don’t you love it when it’s freezing in summer and you even get snow on the hills? 😵‍💫

Crikey .. we’ve gone from 33 degrees and a dry and a drought to two week of wind and rain and now snow ⛄️

That explains why last night was 🥶
