Big update on jocey, she is such a super star !!! We have covered alot with this little mare and she just takes everything in her stride.
Here is lots of little clips of what we have been working on
She is perfect to do gates, very patient and pretty much voice controlled 😍
You can pony off of her
She is a really nice lead horse
We have been through rivers
Up hills
Perfect going for a canter with others or just crusing around in walk
She is a little wairy of puddle and logs but easy to push through gently
She has an awesome big walk you can let her go on the buckle and she just stides out but is very polite and dosnt take off or anything
She is quite happy to be your personal boom box, tie your speaker to her saddle and go for a 2h ride with some beats on full blast 😆
She is truly awesome !!!

Well its official, violet is coming back in to work !! Boot camp is now starting, she has pretty much had the last 16 weeks to herself due to two small injuries that where just in awkward places so left her alone while she was healing, was super please that she was willing to walk trot and canter around the arena in a nice manner even though she has had the wild horse treatment for so long haha, no lunging before hand and not an inch of anything bad from her 😊 she has had a good bath and is now ready to clip in the next few days and I have just looked at the weather and it is saying rain for the next week 🙈 should of probably looked before going to the farm to bath her 🙄😆

I have some unfortunate news.
I will not be taking any more client’s for a few months as I am relocating to otaki with a new full time job.

I am going to try to keep my business open so that in the near future I could possibly offer some of my services
This breaks my heart as I feel I have worked so hard for everyone I have come in to business with.

I also need to find my 3 beautiful horses new homes, in these uncertain times alot of my gear will also be for sale.

The business closes on 5th August as I will need a few days to sort some other details out.

I apologize to everyone that has been waiting on a date that suits them and hope that you will understand that this isnt a decision I wanted to make.

I also want to say a huge thank you to all of my amazing clients I have had the privilege to meet throughout this short journey.

I appreciate everyone that has supported me through out my time at Totara Downs.

Another amazing day with jocey 😍

Josey went on her first proper ride out on the farm today, been taking small steps to get here and she is doing so well, the river was a big deal for her and the first crossing took about 20mins to get across but she got there in the end with gentle forward gestures
The second crossing was super deep and as you can see she crossed it confidently trusting my direction, she is a super cool little mare 😍🤩

💥NEW CLIENT💥
Everyone meet Joicey 😍
She is a very sweet but suspicious 9yo mare who is just broken in and has come to me for some general mileage in the hope to become a stress free trecking horse
She is a Morgan × warmblood and definitely has a presence about her that you cant help but love, this week we are just ticking away with nice short sessions to figure out what she likes and dosnt like and most importantly to build a bond that she trusts.🤝
I cant wait for the progress to show with this one 🥰🤩

06/06/2022

Mr t has set off on his new adventure and going to meet his new human. 🤩
I cant wait for the updates !!!!
He has been such a cool horse to have around here, will definitely miss picking him for a nice quite hack or to do some chill schooling, he was definitely my armchair ride 🥰

Paris went to her first show outing to manfeild this weekend just gone, she did amazing really !!

We turned up on the friday not sure we where even in the correct place as we where the first to show, we where unsure how she would cope with no other horses around, she was a little vocal to start with then settled in verry nicely, then everyone seemed to turn up at the same time so that was extremely exciting but after a few other horses where in the yards she was over it and continued to eat her hay, we did the arena familiarization on the friday afternoon where she was a star there was lots of new things to take in and she was extremely forward, there where quite a few horses around which she didnt mind surprisingly.

Saturday she was an absolute star to plat up and she just fell asleep while we were faffing around her, her warm up was a little short so the test was a little rushed which showed in her results but with it being her first show I rode what she was giving, we finished her off with lots of walking around in the warm up so she could continue to take in the atmosphere and everything around her.

Sunday we aimed to have more warm up time to settle her a little more before the test, as we where just about to go in as we checked the times late the night before, her owner bridget thought it was a little odd the judge was not at the arena so double checked the time on evoevents and they had changed form 11am to 9:16am so we had missed the test 🙈 it was super disappointing as we wanted to pull off a better test.
We live and we learn.
We were both happy with how she did over all throughout the whole weekend, there was lots to take away and try better, lots to always work on.
I will hopefully upload a few snaps of the videos in a few days

I just wanted to thank brya from BWP Photography for her amazing skills 🤩
We went for a chilled beach ride a few weeks back and brya came along with her camera.
This was Paris's first riden outing so had alot to take in but I think she had some fun too.
Theses photos are just absolutely stunning 😍

CLIPPING

Clipping season is just around the corner, if you are wanting to book in advance please dont hesitate to message, let me know what style you are wanting if you have a picture of an idea if it is out of the ordinary

I have battery powered calipers so they are quiet and horses are more willing to accept them

The price are on the pictures but if you are wanting anything slightly different let me know and we can definitely work around the image you are wanting, there will also be a mileage price wich will be added depending on what area you are in

Mr had his first ride back after having nearly 2 months, he is such a dude and never cares when I pull him out of the field and decide to play around with him 🤣 it was a very short session as he is very unfit but he was an absolute star

10/03/2022

Violet is coming along nicely 😍 she has had lots of time to have fun around the farm to get her moving freely forward and last night once the sun had hidden behind the hill I decided to give her a little go on the flat and try some schooling she is still very baby like but a massive improvement to the first time I rode her !! She has been riden by lots of different riders and now it is time to buckle down to get some flat work in to her and build her up again, cant wait to for the results of next weeks work her are quite a few pics of last nights flat session and then lots of pictures of her little journey from the past few months

Theo went home last night, the owner has decided to let some one else have an adventure with him due to not being suited to what he is wanting, some times that is the case and it is ok, not all horses want a quiet life.
Theo is a tough horse that would suite a station and a job to do to thrive, he came on leaps and bound in the short time he was with me and I thought I would post some of the things we got up to
He has a beautiful personality but had got a little lost under saddle he just needed to trust his rider, I hope he has an enjoyable journey in his next chapter 😍

I love horses like this as they teach us so much and I love seeing the change once they figure out the answers we are looking for.
