Concrete wash-bay in progress for those who wish to scrub their ponies after their ride, youll now be able to do this without mud splashing back up onto their white socks! 😮‍💨

It took a cyclone but here are finally some yards. Yet to get silt cleared, driveway redone & paddocks aren’t yet functional but arena looks good again & the yards & wash down area are super useful. Thanks to my handy husband.

It’s taken a team of people, but look there it is!! The lime surface was still intact. A new layer on top should make it perfect.

A BIG Thank you to all those involved.

Now to find all of the jump poles!!

Progress.
Huge area now with our beloved Avocado trees pulled out 😞.
The arena is 1/3 uncovered. 2/3 to go. Looking for a machine to load more silt & some rakers & shovelers.

Georgia sent us a sweet Review:
Brownie and I love coming to Arena on Pakowhai, we are incredibly grateful to be able to have a safe place to ride during these wet winter days. The arena surface is amazing to ride on. It’s a lot better than my slippery paddock full of puddles! The jumps are awesome too! If you are thinking about booking for a ride don’t hesitate.
