The newest little addition around at PinOaks Park 🩵 Less than 8 hours old here. A little colt by Remi Lion King, out of TB mare Zacinto X Volksraad. #foalingseaon #newzealand #pinoakspark #warmblood #thoroughbred #foals
Catch up from last week of Sooty’s solo outing up the drive. He enjoyed having a lot to look at, and his mate was screeching out in the yard for him too but he wasn’t worried about napping back.
Another catch up video being added to Violets album although she has departed and settled beautifully in her new home 🏡
Solo outing up the drive, past the tractors etc, and took everything in his stride
Here’s Archie last week going for a solo outing up the drive. He was good to head away from his mates and the yard and wasn’t worried about being on his lonesome.
On the float and off the float for Tilly today ✔️
She went on an outing to the local arena, such a good girl on the straight loading float.
Another outing for Cannon today to do a wee bit more jumping. He is very cool. Much more relaxed coming back into work now (did have the long weekend off).
Someone will have fun producing this one - he’s done everything with us, not sure what else we can tick off but yell out if you’re interested and want to see something specific! ❤️
Playing catch up with Violet as well. Here is her outing from last week and test drive rolled into one. She has now been re-homed to a returning customer after a couple viewings she just loved her.
We’ve been ticking away with Violet all last week, I’m just really behind on the uploading online stuff!
Here she is on her outing to the local arena. She travelled well, coped great in the 28c heat, stood in the yards and was the last one to work. Wasn’t worried about horses coming and going.
Being so hot we just did a W,T,C each rein, and popped over a little fence.
She isn’t a kick along, but sensible and got nice basics installed.
Catch up video of Sooty from his test drive and outing all rolled into one last week.
Good to load (video in album) and travel, but didn’t quite get the reversing backwards. A good old rugby scrum got him off. No panicking, just didn’t understand.
Lillie really enjoyed this fella - he had a W,T,C each rein, was llama but we didn’t ask anything of him. He really surprised us over the fence with a cute wee jump ❤️
The grandad of the paddock at the moment. A bit of a grump to gear up, lifting his back leg, not trying to kick you, and may improve with some ulcer paste, and massage etc, or maybe he’s just learned those tricks of the trade being an older fella. No other grumpiness and easy all round.
Another catch up video. Here's Archie's test drive and outing rolled into one. First day on the job for Lillie too who's helping me out at the moment. This fella is as cool as a cucumber.
Archie had his first ride with us last week. He headed on out to the float for an outing to a local arena (video in album) and travelled well. Was happy to stand in the yards while others were worked. There wasn’t any issues with horses coming or going, or when it was his turn to come and go.
He had a walk, trot & canter both rein - was a straightforward ride. Popped over some coloured poles as well. I think he was Lillie's favourite and pick of the day.
Enjoyed a lovely hose down after his ride as it was super hot yesterday with a scorching 28c! 🥵
Catching up on uploading the video footage.
Cannon joined on the outing last week to the local arena. I’ve just looked back and it seems a month ago he was in work. He enjoyed an extended holiday while I was away on holiday myself.
No lunge needed prior to getting on. He is a bit busy on the ground, but is good once on. Not a kick a long, and enjoys a job.
He is very willing and tries his best to please. I am sure when in consistent work, and doing some more the busyness on the ground will improve. He isn’t at all dirty, and we haven’t seen any naughty tricks. Lillie riding today here - first day on the job, and first horse she rode of the day.
Ticked all of his wof off here too, so really now just looking for his next adventure ❤️
Archie showing off his mounting block skills ✔️
Sooty showing off his mounting block patience as well ✔️
