Summer Camp - Expression of Interest! 🏕️

I have been inundated with enquiries about summer camp, if they are going ahead and the answer is of course YES! 🥳

They are the highlight of my summer as well as the kids I think 😂😂

Can you let me know if you are keen, and if so are you interested in 2 day, 4 day, or overnight camps.

These will run for 3 weeks in January before schools head back 😊

Mr Bee 🐝 at Ashburton Showjumping this weekend.

We had heaps of fun jumping round some bigger tracks again with just a few unfortunate rails in the Amateur Rider, and a clear in our 1.15m!

Bee just needs to sort his rider out so she doesn't get lost half way through the jump off - turns out baby brain is real!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤷‍♀️

25/11/2024

Fun weekend away at Eventing Canterbury 2DE with Mr Bee 🐝 , Pippa and the crew!

We had a run around the PetnSur CCN1* for 5th place! 🏅

Feeling rusty but loving being back out there, and excited for next season 💪🏼

Sunnighill Fancy Me

Fancy | 11yo | 12hh | Welsh Mare

Super cool wee pony who's looking for her new 🏠

She's been a great first pony for her current owner, who's now sadly outgrown.

Perfect amount of sass & fun!

Would be a great all rounder for a get up and go kid who wants to get out on the farm, go to pony club, do games, low level jumping etc.

Very reasonably 💵 and can come with all her gear!

WANTED: PROJECT PONY 🐴

Looking on behalf, for one of the kids I teach.

In no rush but just putting feelers out to see what's around;

• Ideally full height 14.2hh, but will look at anything 14hh upwards, but must be a pony. If smaller ideally on the stocky side, she has long legs 🦵

• Between 4 - 10yrs ish

• Prefer be broken in, but may look at something ready to be started if well handled, and kind.

• Happy with young or older but green but again must have a sensible nature.

• Will be brought on to be an all rounder, with the aim to SJ and event.

Small budget but flexible dependent on type of pony. 💚

Flick me a PM if anyone knows of something suitable.

Fun weekend Eventing at Mcleans island, thanks Eventing Canterbury

Pippa had her first introduction to horse events, and was a wee legend all weekend, making the camper her home on wheels.

Mr Bee 🐝 did an easy double clear in the Prebbleton Veterinary Hospital CCN95 for his first outing in 2 years, and my first event since having Pippa, we even finished in a respectable 7th place!

Massive thanks to Sarah Nychole and Jessica, we couldn't do it without you, definitely makes for extra work having a 2.5month old along too 😂😂

Lessons back in action this week!

The kids had a blast with Tash yesterday and the ponies were happy to have some attention after their extended holiday. 😃

If anyone would like a lesson spot this term, with our fill in instructor, there are still a couple of spaces for after school riding on a Monday & Tuesday.
