🌬️ It was a blustery day out at Eaton Farm, but our riders faced the winds with true grit! 💪🐴

Despite the tricky conditions, each rider gave it their all:

Elle and Asti navigated a tough course with 4 faults in the 50s and 60s, in the face of strong gusts.

Scarlett took on her first ride with Asti and impressed everyone with a flawless double clear in the 60s! 👏 Well done.

Claire and Ruby shone in the Prelim dressage, earning an impressive 2nd and 3rd place, plus clear rounds in the 50s and 60s! 🏅

A big shoutout to Gail for keeping things running smoothly—thank you for your unwavering support! 💖

Today was more than just a show; it was a reminder of resilience and growth. Each rider learned something new, and we're so proud of our Rangers Stables family. ❤️

Who’s afraid of the big bad excavator?! Not little Zorro (aka Buddy)!
He aspires to be a therapy pony so is working hard at socialisation, desensitising and learning to take everything in his stride.
Watch this space for more progress reports! 👍🏻😄

Just a reminder that there is currently a heatwave warning until Monday. Lessons will run from the stables today so we can keep the kids and ponies out of the blazing sun - we would like to avoid any cases of heat stroke or colic.
Please wear sunscreen and stay hydrated☀️🥤

Oh my goodness, putting our annual calendar together is really a labor of love for me and CHPA get to share some amazing and incredible stories each year with you. For our 2025 calendar, we are showcasing horses from our Recovery and Rehabilitation Centre who have truly found their forever homes. Each story has been written by their new mom and dad. I still get teary eyed when I read them, but with absolute joy!

To place your orders, please go to https://carthorse.org.za/calendar-2025/ and follow the simple steps. I know this is a new process, but we want to ensure you receive your much loved CHPA calendars in time for Christmas.

Any issues, please email me at [email protected]. I really hope you are going to enjoy them as much as I have loved putting it together for you.

Warm Regards
Karin ###

Rainy days are for loving ponies! 🤍

There's a lot more to horses and ponies other than riding, and rainy days are the perfect time to learn about them! 🌧

We hope you are all keeping warm during this surprise chilly weekend. ⛄️

Dear clients, staff, family & friends, please note that the REEA car park will be resurfaced this week.

Please park on the street or in the nursery/restaurant parking area and walk to the stables.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you in advance for your cooperation. 🙏🏻

There's nothing quite like a good bath to relieve our fluffy ponies of that winter coat shed on a hot day. ☀️ Thanks for the bath Emma! 🐴
