We loved hosting Tania and Olivia for their own little private clinic and riding retreat here at the farm!

The girls stayed on-site with their horses, enjoyed horsemanship lessons, and spent time riding out over the farm where they could build confidence, put their new skills into practice, and simply enjoy time with their horses in a relaxed environment.

So lovely to see their partnership and confidence growing over the weekend! See you guys next time 🤩🐴

Jools was an incredible horsewoman and an inspiration to many ❤️‍🩹 a true legend!

It is with deep sorrow and unimaginable grief, we announce the passing of Jools our beloved sister and daughter. Today we have lost a true warrior woman. Jools was wise, courageous, generous, inspiring and funny. We will miss her forever.

Love Lynda, Bruce and Jean.

Graduation post – Arlo 🤩🥳

It’s a bit of a patchy pony mood around here, with Arlo also staying on with us for starting. This stunning young warmblood mare has been a delight to work with—sensitive, clever, and willing.

Great to see Arlo and her human getting out and about at home already too!

Graduation post — Tama! 🤩🍾🥳

It’s been a pleasure having this little guy with us for his start. Tama is a Gypsy Cob cross pony with a sensitive disposition and a can-do attitude.

We’ve really enjoyed guiding him through this part of his journey, and we know he and his (more appropriately sized!) human, Trish, are going to have a ton of fun together!

Really thrilled to share this result for our young stallion! If you don’t already, jump over to our stud page - Hikumutu Valley Horses and give us a follow to see more about him and his outstanding progeny 🤩

Graduation post - Cecil 🤩🤍

Cecil, Fiona’s young warmblood gelding, has been with us for starting — and we couldn’t be more excited to see them begin this next chapter together.

Cecil comes from a treasured mare line that has been part of Fiona’s family for many decades (and by extension, ours too).

Wishing you all the best with him, Fiona — we can’t wait to follow Cecil’s journey from here!

Love seeing our alumni out there absolutely thriving! So awesome to follow their journeys as they flourish in the world — amazing work, Hannah!

We’ve got a lovely group of starters in at the moment, and it’s pretty special having a couple of my own in the mix as well 🤩

This is Dynasty – a 3yo mare out of Queen, by our old stallion Saint Clifford Bay (Hikumutu Valley Horses - Saint Clifford Bay) . She’s got such a kind attitude and is really starting to put it all together… definitely one to watch!
