It's not all grooming and riding horses round here - there is always work to do on the farm! πŸšœπŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎπŸ΄
Today was removing an old fence, gate and corrugated iron to make the paddock more friendly for the horses to be able to graze in without coming home with cut hooves. When there no boys around the girls get on the tools πŸͺšπŸ”¨πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎπŸ’ͺ

🌧 Well today was we got 3/4 seasons β›ˆοΈπŸŒ¦β˜€οΈ
Our poor morning customers got caught in a heavy down pour that became hail! πŸ₯Ά drenched! 🌧
Then we got some intermittent lighter showers but it was a bit of a cold strong wind.
Then the afternoon came out still, calm and fine and sunny 🌞 (not hot sadly) but really pleasant blue skies. This NZ weather of "all seasons in 1" day is really crazy!

Week 2: Some snapshots of what we got up to 2nd week of holidays 🐴
We had 2 very wet days Thursday and Friday with 80mm rain in 48hr.
The rain may dampen the paddocks, but not our enjoyment of horse riding πŸ₯°

Week 2: So much fun with our horse camp kids, ba****ck riding and playing "rob the nest" on horse back with barrels and rings. This game has recently been nicknamed "Lord of the rings". Monday - Wed we were lucky with the weather but sadly we were closed Thursday- Friday due to all the rain.
Riding horses is always better with fridens πŸ₯°

Week1: We've managed to ride between the showers, and had some lovely bursts of sunshine through the clouds.....but the paddocks are pretty slushy! Thursday was a write off with all the rain we had 🌧 and Saturday was on and off showers all day.
Peacocks have been out and about and some trees still looking lovely with their autumn leaves πŸ‚ 🐴

The paddocks are a bit wet and this is why we put down limestone tracks so we can ride all year round

Today 10years ago, on the 1st of June 2015 - we said goodbye to our first ever pony "Misty" πŸ¦„

She was our hardest working, longest serving member of Horse Riding Warkworth but more importantly, a loved and cherished member of our Mackenzie family ❀️

Misty at 6years old was purchased in Nov 1988 as a first family pony for the kids. At only 13-ish hands, she was compact but stocky, with a swaying trot and floaty canter.
Misty was with us for 26years teaching all of our 5 kids how to ride as well as the hundreds of kids (and adults) who learned from 1996-2015 through the Horse Riding Warkworth business. Farm treks, road rides, forest rides, pony club, ba****ck, doubling/tripling - she did everything (but maybe never got to the beach).

Misty was the beginning of our Horse Trekking dream, and even now (almost 30years on) we still love what we do, and remember her legacy.

Our local "Kākā" having a party in the trees this evening. More than 20 of these native NZ parrots 🦜 a very distinctive "screech".

FROM WIKI:
The New Zealand kākā (Nestor meridionalis) is a large species of parrot of the family Strigopidae found in New Zealand's native forests across the three main Islands of New Zealand. The species is often known by the abbreviated name kākā, although it shares this name with the recently extinct Norfolk kākā and Chatham kākā. Two subspecies of New Zealand kākā are recognised. It is endangered and has disappeared from much of its former range, though the re-introduction of North Island kākā at Zealandia in Wellington has led to an increasing population of the birds across the city.
