My beautiful Toa is now 3. He is such a cool young horse. He will spend the next year having adventures and will be lightly backed when he's 4.
But he will not do much in the way of schooling or heavy type riding till he's 6, He will learn about the world more though.
I want him to last and continue to be a happy inquisitive horse.

What a wonderful thing to do for Timatangas' first outing of sorts.
Nice chill and relaxing atmosphere, at the ContactCare clinic in Parua Bay.

He coped really well, towards the end he started to get a bit antsy, but overall he was amazing.

If you haven't given contact care a go, I recommend you give it a try with an open mind. It seems like nothing but the effects on both horse and rider are massive.

I had crazy releases in my heal, all of a sudden my foot and leg became lighter, and in the back of my head was the same.

Timatanga didn't put a foot wrong, another good day under his belt of experiences.

Thanks to Lisa Bishop for being your amazing selves, and for runnig such an amzing day/weekend!!.

Mr T really was so good for Abi🦄🦄🦄

It was very cool to have Abi here to have a ride on both Mr T and Kracker, Abi did an amazing job on both horses. She is looking for her new best friend if anyone has something out there, a horse that has done a bit and is well schooled on flat and for jumping, but not overly hot, Abi is a capable young rider, and is looking for a step up from her old pony.
Pm if you have or know of anything♡

It was so good to see Monty arrived safely to his home on the West Coast of the south Island on Sunday
It made me so happy to hear he was so good to take on and off the truck after our time spent walking on and off the float.

It is a kindness to prepare our horses for the life that they may have ahead of them.

He is all settled with his new ladies, which is lovely to see. Hopefully, the weather will warm up for him as well soon.




Very good read, thank you Tori Jeffress

Happy horse story!!

You may remember a Pony I had here in February called Sunday. She came for some rehab work as she was not happy and not herself.

Amy had done some many things to try to help the pony. She then came to one of my lessons and thought it might be better to send her to me to work on.

Here is a list from her owner of the things that were going wrong at the time.

"She couldn’t keep a constant pace. It was very short and choppy strides and inconsistent strides
Pulling away from bit all the time and over bending.
Couldn’t do circle very well, very unbalanced
Would not canter in a circle at all .
She really wouldn’t move for Shannon, to be honest. (Shannon is her wee child rider riding in the video)
Always chewing on the bit
She was nervous all the time .. had scary eye heaps …
Couldn’t do poles on the ground she found it really hard ..
Jumping like a flying squirrel 🐿️ all over place
Sunday just found being ridden , really hard … I think to balance herself and a young rider .
She would also pull back when tied up. "

She is now happy to be ridden, and as you see in the video, Shannon and her are building a lovely partnership together.

This work really helps the horse, helps correct the body, and then the mind follows.
I am so so happy for Sunday, Shannon and Amy, her mother

Toa will be 3 years old this weekend. It's crazy how time flies!
It's getting harder and harder to tell these 2 apart from a distance. Toa and Forrest are now more or less the same height. One is just a bit of a pork chop 🤣

Toa has grown up only eating feeds and supplements. Just goes to show, less is more ♡




Yes yes, thank you Jody

A little video showing Timatanga and his progress.
I am riding him in a saddle here. I found that the head shaking is a bit more than ba****ck initially, particularly when he thinks a question is too hard, but he now tries to answer instead of it escalating to something more.
I am now encouraging him to carry his head with his poll the highest point, as he tends to want to drop it very low and curl under, which is detrimental when carrying a human.
I try my best to listen to him, and go off feel, for weather I can have a conversation through something or to take a step back, so far it is working, as progress in definitely being made. It is a slow process, but a necessary one. I am feeling very hopeful at the moment as he comes away from his work with a bright, happy eye, and that speaks volumes to me on how he must be feeling.
I am happy with how his feet are coming along. He had scoot boots on today to help him, and he felt good. His feet have a long way to go, but progress is being made.
came a few weeks ago to treat him, which has helped. We bounce off each other for things to work on next with him. My rehab work combined with her ContactCare seems to really work well together.
