⭐️George is getting a glow up ⭐️

7 months between photos and it’s taken every ounce of control not to throw all the feed at him and get him round.

Letting down can be especially niggly when you don’t live in the Waikato with that epic grass and George arrived in October to a dry Hawkes bay 😅

💪George raced for 7 or 8 years and is quite a narrow horse, so it’s taken a while to get him looking like this & I find the small round nuggety ones put on the weight and keep it better than the tall lanky ones…

George is tall and lanky🤦‍♀️

But I wanted to keep George’s brain happy because he’s bloody cool and let his body adjust, take it slow and gosh it’s been worth it.

All he’s been getting is

➕ Harvest Grains Megabuild from day one.
( Donna has been a great help and he’s been on harvest grains from day 1)

➕Poseidon Animal Health Digestive HP.

➕ Whey power after he’s worked in a small feed
➕ Fibre diversity to repopulate and grow the right gut microbes.

It can be a slow process ( takes about a year) getting your off the track to change all of their microbes in their gut, but seeing how happy and healthy they are and how their body’s change is impressive.

I videoed myself hot oiling George after his clip…

🌊While editing it .. I got sea sick so I’ll spare you all the pain!

➡️ However this is your reminder to hot-oil your horse so you don’t have to worry about them getting an itchy & horrible dry coat.

➡️ Hi Shine Equine Hot-oil has been my go to for years.. it’s the OG in coat oils.

You can even use it direct into cold water or as I do into a spray bottle with water added for a daily spray.

What humbles you more on a beautiful day than -

👀 “ I’ll lunge the boys and then have a quick ride” 👀

And your horses saying like heck you will … we aren’t horses who work these days.

George has had since mid March off, everything was pretty good till he got hot and itchy and tried to roll whilst I was on him 🤦‍♀️

🎃The giant orange Labrador and I parted ways when I tried to bail mid roll while on the phone to my friend. Trying to get off is waaay harder than falling off, somehow I got smoked in the process.

And Murphy in true form had a case of the jumping jack buckaroos while cantering like twit the entire time.

It’s going to be such a fun week working them.

Safe to say the holidays over for us.

Thank you PARC (Pukahu & Hawkes Bay Adult Riding Club) for asking me to come along & give a demo with the boys this weekend.

Hopefully my waffling on answered some questions.

Next time we will have to do a spring pre show season prep day. 👌

☀️Clipping it’s definitely a love hate job & poor George was too hairy and hot during the day.

However .. clipping is all in the prep

🧼 Washed
✨ Hot oiled with HSE Hot oil

& Georges skin and coat was ready to clip today.

A clean horse = a much better quality clip.

I wasn’t sure if he had been clipped before so it was a very fast clip.. not my best work but it’s off.

George was then washed 2x and Hi Shine Equine Hot Oil coat conditioner & rugs on!

But doesn’t he look so much better ? !

I can’t wait to see his shiny healthy skin glowing tomorrow.

EquiPro NZ - have a look online for the HSE Range.

What happens when a pre 40’s woman tries to edit on capcut ⬇️⬇️⬇️

While the editing is as cringe as the build up on our hoods or neck rugs that = damaged hair follicles & mane loss.

Washing manes regularly& using HSE Liquid Silk in either the spray or serum helps solves the mane & tail damage heavy neck rugs bring.

💴 The serum lasts ages & is super economical & is super at preventing shoulder rubs too..

Shout out to Saddlery Warehouse Hastings for sorting Murphy out in a new Shires Highlander 300 gram .

❤️Thank you for sorting through the boxes as they arrived !!!

He is warm and dry & the rug has buckle fronts and aren’t a risk to attaching to a fence.✅

He dosent do rain especially a sideways southerly. Poor boy was soaking wet and shaking this morning in his 1season old 300gm. 🤦‍♀️

It’s blinkin freezing I feel winter has arrived.

Like a duck to water I would say George ⭐️

A year spelling after George’s last race .. 6 months living with me and maybe 2 months of proper schooling & I would say George approves of his life after racing .

These NZTR Ottb clinics are so much fun and Donna & Elise are awesome.

Pretty chuffed with George, his first away event and he handled it like a pro and he got to be reunited with his best mate Helana Baby too ❤️

Roll on April for his first ODE ❤️
