When you’re horsing all day you need to be comfortable. Riding tights, socks and my brand new Ariat boots all stocked at Gregory Equine Covers & Saddlery 🙌🏼

We do love efficient delivery and quality hand made covers 💕

Safe to say Cyrille Leveque was happy with his new Gregory Equine cover that arrived quickly all the way down the bottom of the South Island for his horse!

Thank you for the photo Jane Hunt - Crusader Lodge!

A great day at out at Gore A&P Association's A&P Show 🥳

03/02/2024

Gore A&P Association hosted a wonderful show this weekend, despite the ever changing weather conditions! The horses were glad for their waterproof covers, hay bags and grippy studs.

Rabbit and Brother each did the team proud with plenty of Champion ribbons to add to the collection.

Couldn't have done it without the help of some very kind friends as well as our supportive sponsors!

Getting ready for the hunt season with BetaVet NZ

With the winds whipping away moisture from the soil - I’m always mindful of hard ground in summer and use Flexalot for that added protection 💪🏻 ❤️

Thanks Gregory Equine for keeping the horses comfortable, clean and well feed with their hay bags and covers 👍🦄

For all the new followers to our page we'd like to open up a question answer session - want to know more about what we do? Message us through questions and we'll add them to a FAQ. Some initial queries below;

What training do we offer?
- Jane specialises in jump schooling and all things hunting. We offer breaking in services, weanling handling, general education and help with tricky behaviour. Need help getting over those fences? We also do lessons!

What are the facilities like?
- see the video (https://fb.watch/nz85Ajkk62/) for a snap shot of what its like on the farm. We keep horses in individual paddocks for their safety and you provide your own feed when the horse is dropped off. A summer edition will be posted soon :).

You don't have transport available?
- lessons are absolutely available at your home (locally) if that's more convenient for you.

A bit of fun for the end of the week. Duke would love some more horses to show off his tricks too, but, I don't know if he will share his treats. Either way, if you've got a horse in the paddock you're thinking about getting ready for summer but it needs some TLC - send it over! We've got space available now 🦄🤩

We're all settled in now - here are some scenic updates 🦄☀️

Paddocks for the horses

11/06/2023

We've arrived in Otautau and are ready to welcome new client horses! It's a little bit of a work in progress as we get the facilities up and running (follow the page for more photo updates), but, we're now able to take bookings for horses for schooling. Breakers will be next up and we will announce when we're ready for those.

04/06/2023

Thank you to everyone who came along today 👋🏼 It was lovely to see so many friendly faces! Also a huge thanks to Christine at Lakeview Archers NZ for hosting and really going the extra mile.

A couple more updates for Sunday 🎠
- as well as your lunch please bring your own cutlery / plates etc.
- if it rains there’s a shed so we will be going ahead regardless of weather. Dress comfortably!
- there are chairs but if you’ve got a favourite bbq chair why not bring that too.

Let us know if there’s anything else you’d like to know 👌🏻🎉

Bon voyage!

Everyone is welcome on 4th June to see Jane and Cyrille off 🧳🚛🦄

Update: We've had a few questions about gifts (which aren't expected at all!). However, if you were thinking about a gift, while warm socks are great, Jane and Cyrille would really appreciate any financial contributions towards their move to the South Island. We will have a "well wishing, well" on the day or can provide bank account details for any electronic well wishes. 😊🫶

BetaVet goodies stocked up again - got to keep all the nags in top shape for their big move to the South Island! Ps. we haven’t told Blue it’s likely to be cold down there… she will NOT be best pleased 🤭🤭

11/05/2023

Just in time for the wet, wet, wet winter!

Bonnie's Bargains is here!

Bonnie our furry smaller four-legged mascot has decided that we need to have a sale on the studs that we have in store at the moment! The sale is for the studs in stock, not for any that you would want us to order in.

We have a massive 30% off these studs and basically a first in first serve to get what you would like! Come and see us to grab our first of Bonnie's Bargains!
