Sharing the road safely is important, so when you see a horse and rider on the road, remember: kia tūpato kia ata haere, pass wide and slow 🐴

This weekend 14-15 September, there will be more than 40 awareness rides to promote this important message taking place around Aotearoa New Zealand, so please take extra care. If you’d like to know more about the awareness rides, and to find one near you, visit Pass Wide and Slow New Zealand for more details.

Hemi a few months ago so sad and lame. Today he is well taking part in his own remedy a wee old man's wade style hydrotherapy and an ex foliation roll special ha ha

Amazing what his new diet and natural remedies and low impact walks have done for his arthritis. He was on three legs a few months ago with arthritic pain.

Following our dental treatments Carlos is back to finishing his feeds first again. Amazing how it changes everything for the better quickly. Everyone is much happier and getting ready for the coming season. Antoinio our most sensitive horse has the smallest mouth and being sensitive he tends to pack his mouth with grass on the sides at slightest signs of sharpness. Our wee Kai guy is old enough to be done once a year these days. Young horses need teeth floated every 6 months until about 5 years. It's alot but worth while in so many ways.

Big day with the horses annual dental treatment yesterday here on the farm. Poor Carlos had sharp points in his back teeth. He will be able to eat better now and it will help with gaining his topline again. Plus he will be back on track at home with our routine annual treatments. Antionio was a bit of a drama queen for a minute or two and Shadow took it in his stride. Kaimanawas are always so easy going :)

Shadow always lives up to his name. The other horses can't get away from their wee shadow, always so close in a loving kind of way 😀

Just a reminder for those of you visiting the Bay of Islands or staying at our camp site or cabin that I do offer flax weaving classes most days from 10am till 12 these are intro classes suitable for adults or children. Great for adding a bit of culture to your holiday and includes some history and interesting information about flax weaving in the local area. Can also adapt to include those with prior weaving knowledge.

You can also book the workshops through Air bnb as an experience :)

As we transition from summer into autumn (my favourite season!) - it's a great time to continue stretches to keep your horse supple. Here's a reminder of our favourites 🥰

Remember to do these after exercise or when bring in from field so horse is warmed up first x
