Ember came for a led walk to practice walking away from her herd, Holler had some more long reigning practice with the help of his four legged furry friend & ponies as well as ducks all fed β

Rosie has recently finished up with the Clutha Community Riding centre & returned home for a few weeks before heading off to her new lease home with old friends. Phantom has just passed his St John pet therapy certification & will be a Balclutha Community visitor bringing smiles to the elderly in the local rest homes.

Happy Mothers Day π
"Motherhood, where love knows no bounds, patience knows no limit & sacrifice knows no measure."
This week saw the final 2 pregnancies confirmed by our Brightwater Black Adder! It's been a very busy & loooong season, but we have some absolutely stunning mares expecting foals this spring, including 4 of our own!
Black Adder never fails to disappoint with his strike rate & is looking forward to a well deserved break over winter! π€
The ponies are absolutely loving our new wintering block in Central Otago! Sunny, dry, & NO mud π

All the Mums to be + Diva coming in for grooming & treats today π
In pastures vast, where sunbeams play,
There stands a horse both gentle and grey.
His name is Dom, a wise old soul,
Watching over his herd, a silent patrol.
With eyes like amber, weathered and kind,
He surveys the land, a vigilant mind.
In every step, a grace so pure,
Guardian of the pasture, steadfast and sure.
Through seasons change and winds that blow,
Dom remains steady, a comforting glow.
His presence a beacon, a guiding light,
In the darkest hour, he shines so bright.
With every neigh, a soothing song,
In his presence, worries are gone.
For Dom, the protector, steadfast and true,
His love for his herd forever renew.
So let us honor this horse so grand,
Whose watchful gaze spans the land.
For in his heart, a love untold,
Dom, the guardian, wise and bold.
