As a proud sponsor and supporter, and farrier for the Central Otago Riding for the Disabled Association, we're fully behind their upcoming project to resurface the arena at Dunstan Equestrian Centre. If any of our clients would like to join the support, please PM Central Otago Riding for the Disabled Association directly to purchase raffle tickets.

Our annual firewood raffle is back! This year, the fundraising efforts are bigger than ever. All funds raised will go towards the resurfacing of the arena at the Dunstan Equestrian Centre. A massive project that will have a real impact on our riders, volunteers and horses. PM us if you'd like to buy a ticket or two; $2 a ticket, raffle drawn 17 April and firewood kindly donated and delivered within the Alexandra area by Angus D***s Firewood ,or perhaps you are a local business who would be willing to hold a raffle card for us in your store or office? Get in touch.

Last month saw a very special visitor for Forge South. Seb spent his apprenticeship under AWCF David Sanderson for 4 years in the UK and went on to work for him for another 2. David thought it was about time to check standards hadn't slipped and spent a couple of days on the road with Seb through Glenorchy and Ranfurly. Reports were that the scenery here for shoeing is better, but the cups of tea needed improvement!

Mutual affection!

Pedicure day for the boys.
Ballineen Blue Mountain loves farrier Seb and I think the feeling is very mutual!

First things first, how cute is Peter, Seb's smallest and sweetest customer? 🐎 😇

But also, 💻📆... the year has flown by and we're at that time of year where our repeat cycle bookings are falling around the Christmas holiday period. I'll be in touch with out of town runs to organise dates, but if you're local and book in yourself - please be aware we will have some time off during late December and getting in early with bookings is much appreciated and recommended!

It's that time of year when we're getting horses back in and shoes back on! The next month is getting close to fully booked with pre-spring appointments. If you're not on a usual pre-set 6 week run, please get in touch asap if you're hoping to get shoes back on for September events.

Seb will be attempting a short holiday next month and so the next few weeks will be busier than usual fitting clients into shorter days and with the time off. For our regular clients, if you haven't booked in for the next month or so and need sorting, please get in touch asap. Remember FB messenger and the bookings number (0273026690) are the best ways to book. Message Seb directly at your own risk of being ignored 😂.
