This year, I will be implementing a strict policy regarding our "dirty horse" fee. To ensure a smooth and efficient clipping process, I recommend bathing your horse with a dishwashing liquid or a product specifically designed to cut through grease—rather than purely cosmetic shampoos. Additionally, using a body brush to thoroughly clean the base of the coat the day before your appointment will yield the best results. Please also cover your horse with a clean cotton sheet afterward.

If your horse arrives dirty, greasy, or wet, I reserve the right to either halt the clipping process or apply a $35 "dirty horse" fee. Should I need to discontinue services due to these conditions, or if sedation is necessary, there may be additional travel or time charges incurred.

Please note that prepayment is required for new clients. If you need to cancel your appointment, please keep in mind that cancellations made within 48 hours will incur a fee of 50% of the clipping cost, while cancellations made within 24 hours will be subject to a 100% charge.

Thank you for your understanding. I look forward to providing your horse with a great grooming experience!

Hey Team 🤠
Quick yarn about rural shipping…
If you live down a long driveway, past three paddocks, two gates and a mob of sheep 🐑 — that’s rural delivery.

*Please select the rural shipping option so we can get your order out smoothly.*

When standard shipping is chosen for a rural address, the courier still charges us the rural surcharge. We often end up subsidising shipping just to keep things moving — and it frequently costs us $25+ to send orders to the South Island.

We absolutely don’t mind doing our bit, but as a small NZ business we can’t absorb those costs every time.

So from now on, if a rural address selects standard shipping, we’ll flick through an invoice for the rural surcharge before we send your order out.

No drama. No whinging. Just keeping things sustainable so we can keep bringing you the good stuff from Equi-Smart 💙💗

Thanks for understanding — we appreciate you

A staple product in my life! All of my covers, coats and boots get covered with the Waterproofing bars.

We wanted to show you the difference 🌧️

8:30am — water poured over the jacket
Left side: no protection
Right side: treated with our Waterproofing Bar
One hour later, the untreated side had absorbed the water…
But the treated side? Still beading beautifully on the surface 💧
Perfect for jackets, horse covers, boots, canvas, synthetic, leather, oilskins, dog coats and more.
Just glide the bar on and you’re done — quick, easy, effective

A fun start to Equifest for me getting these gorgeous c**ts ready for their turnout class.

A huge well done to Alexia and Mikayla for their hard work with Pepi and Knight.

It’s an early morning upate for you all, as we have a huge day ahead but we couldn’t wait to tell you all!

We made it to Equifest with the boys safe and sound - they have both settled in extremely well.

It’s already been an incredibly busy start as our trot up and conditioning class was yesterday afternoon and we have some results to share with you!

Both of our boys made it to the winners lineup 🥳

Te Pepi won 1st for the trot up and also Best Conditioned c**t overall!

Knight won 2nd for the trot up!

We have some HUGE thank yous to some very special people who helped our boys look their VERY best for this event:

Ecohorse for sponsoring us so many goodies which helped us get the boys coats in tip top shape - and so SHINY!

Cambridge Grains for sponsoring the boys feed since they got home - both of the boys condition was incredible and the judges were very impressed!

UberSnug Horsewear for decking the boys out in show sets, helping their coats gleam and stay clean while we are here!

And last but certainly not least! Jo from Justagroom_NZ who helped us turn the boys out to look their very very best!

We are SO grateful to the wonderful team of people behind us and rooting for our boys! We had an incredible start to the competition and we look forward to what the next few days bring! These boys have already superseded our expectations! 🥹🐴🫶

Huge thanks to Corina Belliss Photography for the picture!
