The PONY Collab

��

Originally called Oakshott equestrian because we were on Oakshott road we have decided to rename the page The PONY Collab. this us because we are a collaboration of talents, ideas and inspirations. it's not one person it's many and we are always learning and developing our skills. We started off doing lessons but quickly found we had a unique service to offer people with ponies. There are no child

ren that ride and train like Giselle does . She has ridden close to 200 horses and ponies broken in, started, restarted or retrained dozens of ponies for people and the results speak for themselves. Check out some our latest projects. They are trained by children because ultimately they are going to be ridden by children and what better way to get them started than by the very size of rider that they will end up with. Ponies quickly work out who is on their backs and what's expected and there is nothing better than to get your new pony child proof. Giselle will start on them and then we have Quaid and Arya to help check their progress and see who they are suitable for. We also sell on behalf, we can get you pony fit Feel free to contact us any time either on 021474739 or send us an email

Photos from the markets.

Nevada did a few rides once she got use to everything. We did over 200 rides all up. Swift, Kevin, Abby were our main ponies and then junior, Jimmy and sharky came in to cover the small pony rides. The horses were amazing.

Ruffy took awhile to settle but he is just looking amazing at the moment. When he was born he really was stunning. Then he went through a real awkward stage and now hes lost most of his fluff he is back to stunning 😍. Could make a beautiful show pony with his looks and movements. Also could make a cheeky little friend 🧡.

If your thinking of a pony to grow up with your kids he might be perfect. 7 hours at the Christmas markets and he only really got upset when we took Nevada away. He didn't care about anything else going on at all. 😊

Who knew Zadel would go from this to this. He has just turned 7. Only started jumping last summer and he's taken to it like a duck to water.

Still super green but Giselle is doing a fab job of training him.

I never ever expected this. Ill post up some of his very early attempts at jumping when the kids were mucking around on him and you will see, there isn't much natural talent there at all 🤣

In fact in one clip I even say if he makes a SJumper ill eat my words.

That day might be fast approaching.

They are off to Brookby this weekend, no idea how it will go. At home or PC he's unstoppable but out and about still distracted and lacks confidence. Height isn't an issue. Fingers crossed for this little team.

For the last 2 weeks Little knight has been off his rocker. We have had him 9 years and he has never been fully grass effected. There have been times he has been a bit spooky but its just a day or 2 and then back to his happy self.

But for 2 weeks, we haven't even been able to catch him and that has never happened in the entire 9 years we have had him. Last week he took down a fence 😳.

Couldn't even hard feed him he was terrified of the bucket. It was that bad.

Couldn't safely move him because when Giselle walked towards him last week, she stumbled in the grass and he panicked and jumped a full wire barbedwire fence. He was uninjured but sadly Genie followed and got caught in the fence. She had minor injuries but it was very hard to separate them to treat her.

We repaired the fence, put him in the paddock with less grass by catching the babies and him following them through. Today he was almost back to normal. He did come straight up to me when he saw me. He let me pat him but he wasn't 100% relaxed.

It's a bit shocking to see a pony you have known so long, turn wild and out of control. He must feel awful inside to be so highly strung. I think we will bypass that paddock, the grass is different in places to the one he is in now.

Its a stark reminder that just because they have never been like that before doesn't mean they won't ever be. 9 years and multiple different properties he has been on and never anything like this. Even in this place he's been there for 6 months and fine.

Pekoe was so good on our ride today. Cars went past, pheasants flew out, losts of strange things to look at today and he took it all in his stride. No enquiries yet about him but if you are after a young project to bring on for your kids then Pekoe would be excellent.

His attitude to everything makes him perfect for an all rounder 🥰

Yesterday I helped out with Aohanga Timor stud going to Raglan to a su***de awareness day.

It really was an amazing day. Great cause. The weather put a few people off but the ponies out did themselves as an attraction.

Remember these ponies will be at the Xmas markets in Claudelands Hamilton on the 29th. So come join us for pony rides and pats.

Ponies are brilliant at taking your mind off your troubles and focusing on something amazing and beneficial.

It's no wonder they bring so much joy to these events

Can't believe no one has come to see Nevada. I know Giselle is too big for her but it is what it is and you can't fault the pony.
She is just green but everything else is there, she just needs her own little human.
First time at PC and she didn't care about a thing.
Better on the lead as I lead her over everything with a rider, Giselle lead her without a rider and she gave everything a go bless her.

She will be at the Xmas Matket on the 29th if she isn't sold before. If she can cope with that then she is worth her weight in gold ✨️ 💛

Its that time of year again when we get our little team together for the Waikato Xmas Market. This year its on the 29th of November and we are all set to go.

We are going to be joined by the Aohanga Timor stud who was at the Waikato A & P show last weekend.

With joint forces we will have more than just pony rides on offer.

So fingers crossed for the weather to hold out and come down and say hello at the Claudelands show grounds.

We will have ruffy and Nevada there and I believe some of the timors are coming up for sale so chat to us if you are in the market for a small pony.

If you remember our pony General, he was from this stud and fathered some of the ponies that will be there.

Evening training with the gang.

We have 5 now available. Nevada, Maemae, Pekoe, Ruffy and Genie.

Will post up all the details.

Maemae is definitely the slowest to come along but she has made such progress in the last few weeks. Picking up her hooves like a pro, getting use to being leaned on and fussed over. Im really impressed considering Arya is doing most of the work and she is only 11.

Pekoe is in the process of being backed. That's all we will do with him as he is still a but young to start under saddle but he will be an easy project for someone to complete.

Get in touch if you are looking for ponies with potential 🥰
