Taffy is an absolute pleasure to deal with- LOVED his spa day today! Front shoes on, a quick whirl around the arena and a Rocket's Equine pamper sesh.

Correct enough to hold his own in the park hack/ riding horse ring but equally could see him being a fab teens first hack type.

Stay tuned for the ridden work…

Downsizing could possibly extended to the 3 years and under tribe…. Stay tuned….

Through no fault of her own, Joanie is looking for someone to enjoy a fun hunting season with (lease option only).

As a mare, she can’t easily double as both a hunter and a clerking mount for me and we simply don’t need the big team of hunters we once did.

She’s an experienced hunter who really shines with an experienced, forward-riding type. That said, she’s happily hacked at the back and has been a firm favourite with our second-horse riders over the years. Suited to someone who likes a true tb hunting ride!

She does have a few minor quirks and management needs, so the right home is important — but she’s far too cool to be standing in the paddock for another season when she could be out having fun.

When adulting hits hard- we will be downsizing the amount of horses we have with focuses changing and of course no longer needing quite so many hunters.

Joanie will be looking for a COMPENTENT hunting lease home, I'll be parting with one of my crossbred babies for a start so watch this space.....

The main reason we haven't been out and about with the ponies much this summer. There is always another show season- but only one chance to make a go of this......

Well… what a year it’s been! Can I say we had a blast in our first year of business? Not exactly. Was it easy? Definitely not. Was it the perfect time to launch a small business startup? Nope. Can confirm there have been sleepless nights and lots of tears...

But, what I can say is that it has been an absolute epic adventure working alongside incredible teams across South Taranaki and Whanganui. I’ve had amazing learning experiences getting to understand different professions and industry requirements and what makes our regions tick! I can't thank those business's that gave me a chance this year enough for the trust!

While it’s been a challenging year, we’re not ready to call it quits. Our services have grown throughout the year, most recently adding fit testing and I’m working on an exciting regular HRS - Healthy Roads to Safety Program. This is exactly where I want to see HRS heading. The goal is to encourage businesses of all sizes access regular health, safety and people support, not just a once-a-year check-in. So, watch this space… or get in touch to find out more!

I’ll be back in the office early in the new year. Until then, stay safe and have fun!

And if you have managed to read this far down- pop a like or a share of our page to anyone you think may be interested in boosting their team's overall health and safety program... All the 'clicks' really help a small business like ours grow!

Absolutely chuffed with the Egmont Show Grounds Hunter Jumping day- not only were we able to award the delayed series prizes, I think we were able to give a few riders some end of year cheer!

The weather was on point, the course was fabulous (thanks Smyth lads), everyone walked away with goodies from generous sponsors Rocket's Equine and New Plymouth Raceway … there was some really fabulous volunteers who made the day work with Geradine Wood keeping the gate covered and riders flowing Faye Ansley being the ever professional steward and Kevin O’Hara judging to a calibre we were spoilt to have. I must say I took so much learning away from the day without even riding!

I will go through the copious number of videos when I get a chance and make sure they get to those that they belong to.

Much thanks to those who attended and please do make sure you thank those who made the day work so well for us all sponsors, helpers and of course Hawera for putting on the weather 😜
