Well it is official! We are selling our dream home. But we won't be moving too far, just closer to the grand babies, and have more time for some travel. I will continue to teach and do treatments with the horses but I will travel to visit our equine friends! We have some wonderful memories and I know the horses love this place so maybe an equine person can continues its development to reach its potential. With so many options its time for someone else to make it their dream home.

Future proof your family. Where comfort meets rural elegance. This property is more than just land and house. It has been lived on, enhanced and lov...

Farm Obstacle and track Working Bee at my place Kauri.
Lots of people keep asking me if they can come and help with obstacles and clearing the tracks on the property that every one loves to ride over and enjoy. Alan and I have been doing lots of stuff on the new property and with all the great ideas that people have and with up coming clinics and some cool stuff around the corner, I thought I would set a day we are working on obstacles and jumps and if people wanted to come and help they can. There will be simple rock and stick clearing of some tracks, to jumps and obstacle building of wooden gates to be hung between trees and simple wooden structures to hang things from trees. And lot of little jobs in between. Any help is very much appreciated. Come and take a peek at some of the new stuff and let us know any ideas that are not available elsewhere you would love to see. Any time would be much appreciated. :-)
Sunday 21st February 9am onwards

Hi Senior Riders, I am back home and just sorting this coming week. What will work is wed, thurs, fri I am taking senior riders/new horse/young horse 3 hour morning clinic 9-12. There will be some ground work, flat work (dressage tests) and then pole work for the green horses and small jumps and then bigger jumps and a course for the 80++ riders. $30 per rider each morning. 4-5 riders only. Riders can do 1,2 or 3 days. One afternoon if you wanted to I could teach trimming feet, clipping, and anything else that riders were keen to learn and get some hands on.

YAY - Coaching now OK! All you folks who have been itching to get out and get some of the sting out of your horses and get prepared for some winter fun send me a txt to book a time. Brandy is having people withdrawal symptoms!

'People are permitted to leave their home or place of residence for horse‐riding lessons, as long as relevant infection control measures are applied, such as physical distancing, and the service is provided in the same (or a nearby) region. Coaches and trainers will need a Covid worksafe plan to be able to operate under L3'

For those with questions about caring for or riding your horse during the lock down.

Ok, so there is a lot of confusion, conflicting information, and what we can only describe as social shaming out there regarding riding and other exercise pursuits that can be considered high risk, during the lockdown/rahui.
The MPI adviser for the animal welfare sector, Penny Timmer-Arends, has advised that if you are caring for your horse directly, you MAY RIDE YOUR HORSE WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTY ON WHICH IT IS KEPT. Do NOT transport your horse to ride somewhere else. As we've previously noted though, maybe don't ride if you are nervous, or your horse is green/feral/young.
You can travel to care for your horses if they graze elsewhere, but if they can be cared for by the owner of the grazing facility, then you should stay at home. If you do need to leave your house to care for your horse, you must take the necessary health measures, travel in your private vehicle alone or with other members of your isolation bubble, and use your own grooming kit, tack and other equipment. Liaise with the property owners to ensure there are minimal interactions between grazers. If there are shared areas at the facility, use good hygiene practices around door handles, gate latches and the like.
Stay safe everyone. And be kind.
