And to add to the chaos I would like to officially welcome two orphaned lambs Daisy and Rosie (Rosie has the floppy ears). I can’t turn away when I see animals in need of help so I had to try and save them. The thing was, where do I put them? I’m not equipped for such small babies. But the float became their home especially during the snow weather, now they have a little pen outside for the daytime. Still learning as we go but they’ve gotten so strong and full of life it’s beautiful to watch❤️

Excited to welcome our first 2 Beefies to the Team. We have a heifer called Saphire aka Saffy (pictured left) and Max our bull (on the right with the big white head). With how the world is going it’s not a bad idea to raise our own cattle for meat and these two will be a great breeding pair. What was important for me is that I wanted Max young. This allows me to train him and be good in a halter etc as I’ve worked with bulls and they can get dangerous sometimes so I want him to know from the beginning who’s boss and to learn what he can and can’t do and also calves are simple just so cute!

We’ve had some new additions to our WS team. 4 new members, 2 we had planned the other 2 happened, but absolutely love them. Can’t wait to share who they are, or what they are…
Stay tuned🥰

A small treat for myself. A beautiful custom made pendant by Keepsakes with Love - Equine Collection. It’s a reminder for myself that I can be proud of how far I’ve come, what I’ve achieved and to continue even when I feel like giving up. I have this vision and I won’t stop till I reach it. It’s going to be a long road but I know one day I’ll reach it. For now it’s one step at a time

On today’s agenda with my Orange Carrot, Harrowing. I did this a while back but then I used my bigger harrow. However paddocks are muddy and I can’t get my ute in so horse power it is. First got Ranger used to the harrow, then long reining and put it all together and you have a horse powered harrow 😆

Today we picked up this lovely girl locally. She needs a lot of tlc but give it a year and she’ll be glowing! She has a very calm nature for her young age and actually reminds me of how Shimmer was. We haven’t deciding on a name yet but will have one soon

Not easy writing this, Rest in Peace Shimmer and your unborn baby. I am so sorry I wasn’t by your side when you needed me most. You were such a gentle soul for your young age. May you gallop around in horse heaven with your baby by your side. I will miss you a lot😔

I know a while back I said I’ll be building the paddocks myself but facing reality I never had time to get around to it so I hired the fantastic Joe Herbert Contracting LTD . In a week they built my vision. 5 permanent paddocks. This team worked truly hard, and I just wanted to say thank you! I highly recommend these guys!

For some, you won’t know how much these paddocks mean to me, I’ve never had permanent fencing. Every herd of horses is surrounded by tape. The constant breaking outs eventually get to you, or spending thousands of dollars on baleage only for the horses to put a hole into every bale 🫣. So this is a big new chapter here at Westwind stud, the dream that God has given me is becoming more and more a reality.

Let’s welcome Scarlet Tiger aka Scarlet. A lovely older tb with a nice height to her and sweet temperament. She walked next to my ute like a champ up the hill. Scarlet is currently empty and we are planning to put her infoal coming spring!

She is our fifth member that will join Shakiras herd 🥰

Fresh paddock for Shakira, Shimmer and weanlings although… a fifth member will be joining this paddock… keep tuned

Training day for Charlie. He is still a bit unsure of the float but goes in when asked, will continue working with him to get him to the point of loading at liberty. As mentioned previously Charlie and Oscar had two different starts in training. Oscar had been exposed to floating and covering at an early age. Charlie has not. But having said that Charlie has a beautiful temperament when it comes to introducing him to new things. The video of putting his cover on is his first time with the wind not helping however he handled it beautifully and stood there like a champ. I’ve also attached a video of Charlie slipping of the ramp and he shows us how calm he remains. No panic no fear in is eyes he thought about it and stepped back up. I was so amazed with how he handled it. He will go very far in life with his lovely nature.

Training day for Oscar. Float training went perfect he now goes in at liberty and I really like how slowly he backs out. Oscar had the advantage of being in a float already with his mum when he was only 4-8weeks old. Same applies for the cover, because he’s white he starting getting sunburnt so he had to wear one from early on and it really comes to show now how much they remember

They’re slowly becoming taller than me 🥺😅

Everyone is doing great, both Oscar and Charlie are handling the weaning like champs and the Broodmares are happy to get a rest before the next arrivals come in November

First day of weaning. Let’s hope it goes smoothly. Shakira isn’t too fond of babysitting 😅

It is with great news that we are keeping Oscar. Our plan is to use him in our riding school program when he’s old enough. He will make an excellent kids pony!

Time to build some paddocks. One paycheck at a time. The plan was to get a contractor in however financially I’m unable to afford that. Our lovely neighbour offered to use his tractor and post driver to get the first set of posts in. The rest I’ll be doing. If anyone in Otago area wants to help please message the page or private message me.

Can’t wait to have some permanent fences up. It will be a long process but the end will be worth it

Oscar also learning to pick up his feet. It may be hard to see but he fought a bit the first pick up. Hence why no treat. I picked his foot up again and he did it perfectly. He knows he only gets treat if he does it right. Both foals know this. Lots of praising for every try especially in the beginning

Very proud of how well Charlie is picking up his feet

What an incredible feeling it is to have my logo WS on my own bred horses. Both Charlie and Ranger have a slight neater brand. Oscar needed the iron on longer due to being white so the branding is slight thicker.
