Over the last six months their progress is incredible, I am extremely proud of this line of breeding and excited for their future.

As I am relaxing watching my son play Inter school Cricket !!!! I have time to reflect on the last few weeks.
Our build up to HOY was quite different from previous large events. Aggie has started boarding school and throwing herself into everything that has come her way.
We decided to qualify Vanace Rosalie at the last few shows, after the decision was made to scratch Cardonald BB with the dreaded cough.
I was devastated, they have worked so hard all season. To our surprise BB stayed on the Cat B High points leader board, ending the season in 6th 🤩
Aggie was so excited to have Rose at HOY she really loves (Chunky) they had some fabulous rounds and didn't miss a beat and came home with a 5th and 6th 😍
On the other side of the show grounds Aggie and Waimakariri Summers Gold held their own in the Prelim Pony with really pleasing results.
There 2nd test was outstanding with over 70% I am super proud of this young combination, finishing 4th in the Title 💓
Teddy hadn't quite finished for the week, we re prepped for the Adult Performance Pony of the Year. He looked stunning and worked a treat, Emma Dickons ran him out and did a fabulous job, thank you Emma for all your hard work it is very much appreciated🥂

Last but definitely not least, Margo had a fantastic time away. Being very lucky to have the ride on Woodlands Park Gold Coin 🦄
They started in the PB Welsh First Ridden with a great work out to be placed 5th
Margo and Goldie were consistent following up with a 5th in the Paced and Mannered FR Pony of the Year 🤩
Thank you Catherine Nichols Goldie is a 🌟have placing across both Showing and Dressage all week 😇

Looking forward to catching up soon with our Equestrian friends and family 🥰

19/02/2024

A lot has been happening over the last few weeks, Margo and Avataare had a fantastic time at Ashurst Sports. Reserve Champ and highest points overall in their section.
We followed up with Manawatu PC Dressage and SJ Ribbons all round. Favorite class definitely the Jigsaw, thanks Ashurst for hosting you are awesome 😎
Margo and Goldie had a good afternoon over at Daniverk A and P, in the FR lots of Ribbons and learning, it really was survival of the fittest horrendous weather and strange side shows!!!
We have also welcomed the most amazing school master to the family, I feel truly blessed to be trusted with such a gentleman, Sparkles is a 🦄
Thankyou 💖

On a different note Bizzie McGuire 5 year old had his first Eventing Start at 80cm over at Taranaki with Emma Dickons, being an overachiever he was 🥇in the Open. Staying on his Dressage and loving the SJ XC 🤩

Unfortunately Vanace Rosalie isn't in foal this season and after 9 months of cruising around Aggie thought it would be a good idea to take Rose to Feilding for a bit of SH
Rose didn't disappoint and is still the stable favorite 🥰

13/02/2024

Good morning from Roger 🥰

29/01/2024

As the Summer Holidays comes to an end we finished in style.
Evo Youth Dressage Festival is a firm favorite, Margo had set her goals with Avataare
Stay in the arena at all times ✔️
Correct Canter Leads ✔️ ( over achiever with flying changes )
Have fun, even came home with Ribbons ✔️
Great time had by all 🥰

Aggie and Teddy Mac were on 🔥 in their first 2 test, unfortunately they lost their sparkle in the final test of the day. Learning lots from this experience.
Teddy was an absolute ⭐️ for the weekend.
Finishing off with Reserve Prelim Pony

BB showing true to form the ultimate all-round he truly is was quietly ticking a long in the background, great placings and a win in their final test, pushed him forward to Champion Prelim Pony, it was a little nerve racking waiting for the final test to come in 🏆💖

To finish off the holidays Aggie and BB celebrated with a fun evening at CD Eventing
BB is going to have a few days to recover before he joins Aggie at Nga Tawa

Thank you to all the amazing people in our lives it truly takes a village ❤️

20/01/2024

Fantastic time away at the Horowhenua Royal Show, Ponies were on top form, Aggie worked incredibly hard in the heat it was ☀️🔥
Waimakariri Summers Gold gave Aggie a great ride for Champion Novice Saddle Hunter P and M then we decided to bring him out for the Rider Class 🥇
Super Proud of this combination 😎

Aggie and Cardonald BB mixed it up with the Working Hunter Pony, they loved it. Winning the small height 138 and Reserve 🤩
Ribbons in the SH and a win in the EQ this has been on the bucket list!!!

Margo was very lucky to have the ride on Woodlands Park Gold Coin, thank you Aimee and Catherine Nichols for this opportunity. It was wonderful to see them in the ring together, looking like a team 😍

Time to shine at Tutaenui Sports, Aggie has been gaining confidence and experience with her young pony.

2024 started at a fast pace the girls competing at the Alabaster Contracting SJ and SH show at Dannevirke.
Aggie and BB had a couple of clear rounds SJ and in the Ribbons for SH

The Weekend really belonged to Margo and Avataare, they have been practicing for the Answer Back Cup. This Class is super special with 12 rider's selected and paired up with a mentor who walks the course and gives them encouragement and guidance along the way, thankyou Johanna Wylaars you were amazing with Margo.
It is a big atmosphere with lots of cheering and can be challenging for the little rider's.
Margo loved every minute of the event ❤️

Thank you Claire Wilson for all the work you put into making it come together and the amazing sponsors McMillan Equine and Canter for Cancer it is much appreciated. 😎

Over in the Wairarapa Bizzie McGuire and Emma Dickons were at the Bruce Forbes Eventing Champ's
Jack has had 3 weeks at boot camp getting ready for this event, I must admit that hanging out with Aggie and I at home he was looking a little 🐷
Emma has worked her magic for a super consistent outing and another 🥇in the Individual 65cm

18/12/2023

We had a lovely fun, relaxed weekend at Taihape Dressage to finish the first half of the season.

Yesterday Margo and I returned a very special 🦄 Fortification Rose Kate to her very generous and kind family.
Thank you once again Andra and Rebecca Mobberley for the many year's of enjoyment.
Posie has made such an impact on the girls that we decided to put Vanace Rosalie in foal to Fortification Who's Billie, Rose Kate's off Spring, we are super excited about this combination and made the trip home from the Wairarapa much more joyful 💕

The school holidays have been and gone, back to reality today. I'm a little worn-out to be honest!!!!🥴
After our amazing time at Solway Dressage Inter School we returned with BB and Teddy Mac for the Wairarapa Spring Tournament. BB coming away with Reserve Champion and Teddy super consistent with great % but a little tired 🤩
Middle week was all about Show Hunter Champ's this is a huge event with 20 teams from all over the NI.
Aggie and BB were part of the Manawatu Team great group of people and supper excited to finally be part of this Event, coming away with Ribbons, Champion Equation and Pony Breeder's.🥰
This weekend was our local Central District Dressage Premiere Tournament first one of the season, again all the hard work payed of with Aggie and Cardonald BB Champion L1 Pony and Waimakariri Summers Gold Reserve Champion L1 Pony.
Both ponies have qualified for HOY 🥳 a well deserved break for Teddy Mac and we will cross over to SH and the A and P circuit.

A big thank you to all the amazing people that bring these shows to life ❤️
