Capi at Abderry show on Wednesday

18/04/2024

I was lucky enough to get the chance to start and bring on this guy, Thunder, at the end of the summer holidays. I don't often get time to ride him but every time I do he remembers what he's been learning and happily takes on new challenges. Yesterday he had his first outing in a show atmosphere at Abderry and also his first jump while there!
What a sane and willing pony he is!
He also had his first set of shoes on this week and was perfectly behaved.
He will be looking for a home at some stage as this is my last season on ponies.
3yo Northland bred. Around 14hh at the moment and definitely will stay pony

School holidays = I had time for this lovely pony to come for some work.
Capi is going to be available to a lucky child looking for a great all rounder type with a lovely nature and gorgeous movement. He's competed in the show ring at HOY in the past and has done quite a bit of unregistered dressage to L2. Also been a great alround 2nd pony for his current rider (who has outgrown him and is feeling too shy to present him to buyers). We will give him a few rides and then his owner will officially list him 😊

Apologies for the long time between posts
I'm not so little anymore! But still bringing on and competing a range of ponies and hacks.
Thank you to Abderry for giving my OTTB "Spider" such a great introduction to sporthorse life for him and I.
With the help of the expert coaching from Cheski Brown we managed to place 2nd in the Level Zero SJ series despite only starting any jump training a week before the first show. I also took Spider to a Secondary Schools teams event at Takapoto mid way through the series and placed thanks to the confidence we had together.
I cannot recommend these twilight shows enough. They're also well supported with amazing sponsors who provide fantastic prizes
Thank you to:
Animal Stuff, great products that all our animals enjoy
HorseSports our favourite Saddlery
HERDD bedding, I'm looking forward to trying this over winter
The Øtchef best burgers and chicken TINGS ever (you should come to the Abderry shows for dinner/lunch when Adrian is there, you won't be disappointed!)
Proper Soap I look forward to using this it looks divine
Spider is a 4yo TB by Thunder Down Under out of Sporty Spice
Currently looking to name him Thunderstruck

Honey coping with distractions and beginning to use her back a little better. She had found our place quite terrifying at first with calves in the stable right off the arena, Hugo the donkey who likes to throw his feed bin at her as she goes past, Buddy who tries to play chicken with the horse's front feet and then my brothers who pop out of nowhere now and then. She's feeling much more relaxed and is maintaining canter longer in our little arena which means she's having to also work on a circle most of the way

I'm very lucky to have been trusted with schooling the pretty "Honey" for the school holidays. She did very well in the blustery conditions to come in by herself and work next to the calves and donkey in stables which can make for scary noises.

My new project out for the first time at a show today thanks to the teachers striking. He was taken under the wing of Fly, who is on his spell so doing weird stuff with his tongue to keep him amused 🤷‍♀️ This guy is no fuss, no drama and trying so hard. 3yo by Thunder Down Under

Fly and I were part of the Rosehill College Equestrian Team at North Island Secondary Schools 2DE last weekend. We won our category making it 3 years straight that we've come away with trophies. So pleased with how my little man is coming along. It was his first Eventing experience and he was tense in the dressage, not helped by the rain. Still placed well. SJ was never going to be a problem despite it being his first experience indoors. And XC he was willing and relaxed. I kept him steady due to the conditions and his lack of experience and he went around so kindly and just collected 4 time faults
Thank you Cheski Brown. You are amazing in all areas of riding and horse management. I would never be doing what I do without you. Thank you Beth Wilson Equestrian for fitting us in for some xc schooling in awful Auckland weather. Thanks to Mum for her organising and support. And thank you to Secondary Schools Equestrian Horse Trials and all sponsors for putting on such a great event yet again. Fiber Fresh Equine - New Zealand I use Fibre Pro every day for my horses. The travel bag is genius and I love it. Thank you. Also thank you to Take The Moment photography and Spot on Photography

Last dance with Ninja today at Woodhill Sands for the Anzac Derby. We won our round and had the fastest winning round of the day too. We never go too "fast" but this little man can do the best lines and angles to make his round very economical. Ninja has most probably sold to a wonderful new family and so this was a very special day. The course was amazing. So much work had gone into the planning, thank you Strides Equestrian and organisers for the beautiful fillers and variety.
Fly also won his class. He is also progressing nicely and the challenges of this course made him both think and enjoy his time.
Thank you so much Cheski Brown for your time and work to get Ninja and me so happy and successful together. The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary!

24/04/2023

I went and gave lil Moss a bit of a tune up tonight. He's been going very well and his little rider has improved so much since I last saw her! But it's always good for these cheeky little guys to have their buttons and gears checked over while their little riders are learning how to drive them 💖

21/04/2023

Fly getting the hang of this XC thing. Great lesson with Beth Wilson yesterday. We barely even noticed the rain

I took Fly for our first XC practise together today. He loved it and nothing worried him at all

Pics from Abderry show 12.4.23. Accumulator classes were heaps of fun (and so cool to win both on Ninja and Fly respectively). Also so happy to see my little man, Whiskey, there. Cute that him and Ninja recognised each other ❤️ Thank you to Animal Stuff for the feed voucher!

12/04/2023

Ninja winning his Accumulator round today. Coolest pony ever. The turn to 1 to 2 seemed effortless for him yet was super tight. Joker fence no problem
Fly also won his accumulator round but my camera lady had her hands full so didn't catch him sailing over 1.15m joker fence like a stag

I was very lucky to be able to attend the Pegasus Cup at Takapoto Estate Show Jumping a couple of weeks ago as part of the Rosehill College Equestrian Team. I placed 4th in the 1m Equitation class and had a great time experiencing this amazing facility for the first time. It was great to have the support of, and to be able to support, my team mates plus the many other riders I know from other schools. Thank you to all who provided this event and delivered it so successfully. And thank you to my coach Cheski Brown for your pep talks and ongoing support

Mr had a last minute opportunity to take a dressage space at the Abderry evening show on Wednesday so we took it. He'd never been in a dressage arena before nor had we practised doing a dressage test before....but we pulled it off on the first attempt, even managing a placing! He didn't see the reasoning behind going in for a 2nd time so we had a few moments of resistance in the 2nd test but still got some positive comments too 😊

I had a great morning at Pongarosa Equestrian Centre taking Mr Mr for his first ridden show experience today. He was a perfect gentleman about it all and very relaxed. Thank you to Sonja for running these events. There could not have been a better opportunity for him and I to ride as part of a group for the first time. The way these days are organised makes for a stress free and fun outing

Another exciting pony back on the market is my good friend, Smudge. He's back with us looking for a new rider. He's out with us at a birthday party right now being his usual bombproof self, keeping babies and Toddlers safe as houses doing pony rides. Scroll back on this page to see the adventures and success I had with him a couple of years ago. He's been doing pony club and hacking since then. 146cm 10yo Welshx. All rounder for confident beginner and up within experienced home. Has competed successfully in Cat C SH and 80cm Eventing. Very easy to have around and the type you can put your mother on (I've tested this)

The time has come to find Ninja a new child to train and so he's going to be advertised officially.
Hidden Warrior is an 11yo 142cm Warmblood x pony by Tazen the Wob
He is the ultimate all round school master for a confident child who is serious about learning to ride well and WINNING!
His list of accomplishments is so long I forget a lot of them. Some of them include:
Many Many wins in Category B SH Inc Most Pony Overall Points of Show Auckland SH January 2022
NISS Equestrian Champs Best Performed North Island Show Hunter Pony 2022
5th ESNZ Category B High Points Series 2021-2022 (without even attending the final)
Top Dressage Team Secondary Schools 2DE Taupo 2021 and 2022
1st 2021 and 2nd 2022 Team NISS 2DE Taupo
Contributed to Putting our Equestrian Team into the place of Rosehill College Team of the Year 2022 out of 139 teams
Waitemata Hunt Derby Pony Champion 2022
My mount for the season winning Waitemata Hunt Outstanding Junior of the Season 2022
Springbush Express Eventing Winner 80cm 2022
He just this week won the Summer SJ series for his Category at Abderry
The list goes on
He is great to handle in every way, sound with no health issues, and has a bit of s***k about his personality which makes him such a fun and competitive steed so long as he feels understood, he's really cute and can be vocal about his thoughts sometimes too 😁.
He's by no means a push button beginner pony, he means business and he goes out to win and so he needs a capable child who is prepared to study and train in this art of horse riding and be willing to accept his praise and criticism along the way
This is a very hard sale as I love this pony to pieces and he has brought me so far
I'm now focusing more on SJ with Fly and so this precious man needs a new student

Fantastic night at Abderry last night with prizegiving for the Summer Series. Both Fly and Ninja won their categories. We received beautiful rosettes and photo mugs. Plus vouchers from awesome sponsor HorseSports. Blue Breeze had another outing in show setting and has really gotten the idea about being a sport horse instead of a race horse now. And Ninja did 1 round for a win, taking away a voucher from our favorite feed suppliers Animal Stuff. Jeanette came along and presented me with my prize as her farewell from the business. We'll miss seeing her in stores! And last but not least , after both of my ponies being treated, I was treated by Ewen Equine Management and ConTact CARE Pepe noted I've actually been riding 2 holes longer on one side! I'm sure the ponies will appreciate me being more aligned. Pepe will be visiting Abderry regularly if there is enough interest

Thinking of those in Hawkes Bay and hoping anyone who's lost horses finds them safely. We've got the stables into working order for Fly and Ninja as conditions in their paddocks were getting a bit extreme with large trees near them. All of the other horses are settled and safe in paddocks that have hills for shelter and no chance of flooding. Hopefully just a few more hours of this wind and we can get back to riding again tomorrow 🤞🌪

Mr Mr had a spin in Lake Cutfield today

Michaela learnt about the joys of ba****ck riding and splashing around on horseback with her unicorn, Moss, too. Fly LOVES the water. He's been playing in the puddle in his paddock almost non stop

Michaela learnt about the joys of bareback riding and splashing around on horseback with her unicorn, Moss, too. Fly LOVES the water. He's been playing in the puddle in his paddock almost non stop

This is why we can't bring ourselves to sell Ninja. Hunter/Eventing pony one day, outboard motor the next. Cheers for the rain Auckland weather

Moss has sold to a great family. Today we took his new rider, Michaela, to the forrest on him. So cute to hear her chatting the whole way with excitement. She even had her first little canter on the beach! 🦄🥰

Shyla 60cm round in the rain tonight

Moss having a little whiz around 50cm tonight. So cute

When Shyla first came to us 5 or so weeks ago, she was quite the fire breathing diva. Today we tested her in a busy urban environment with no less than 65 children (no pic of kids for privacy) next to a busy road and shopping center AND an off leash dog park Moss came too. Yes he coped absolutely fine , as expected But Shyla was the star. Nothing fazed her at all 5 weeks ago I'd never have even contemplated it Now she is in the pony club mode that was her desired job description She's ready to start working with her own rider now and that's satisfying

With 3 schoolers to work and Mr's tendency to toss his shoes over the fence he hasn't been worked for a few weeks. Farrier has just been and it was cool to be able to get on and pick up where we left off with him walking on the buckle while his friend screams at him from the paddock (in pretty strong wind too!)

Shyla being a beginner's pony today and helping her rider win a games challenge

Shyla comparison between Week 1 and 4. She's feeling like a different horse (Don't mind me telling my camera lady to stop telling me what to do 🤣)
