Darcy having a jump in the paddock today.
Kept it little and fun he's only done that 1 jump in arena up till now after a large break.
He was a bit keen but nice to be jumping.
Fingers crossed the forecast is wrong and it's not going to rain all next week again, now paddock starting to dry enough.

ISO 2 different horses for clients.
Both homes always have the horses best interest at heart.

Firstly, happy hacker fun type. Not interested in any schooling or competing.
But must be good to hack out in group or on own. Must be good down the road.

This lady can ride! But unfortunately has been sold an inappropriate horse so needs something to give her a confidence boost, but not going to be boring once going.

16-16.1hh, don't mind breed or age but still have a few years in it.

Will occasionally be left with minis when paddock mate goes out. Needs to be ok with this and not attached to 1 horse.

Low green budget but wonderful home offered with some great hacking.

Wellington, Horowhenua, Manawatu area will be wanting to try couple times with potentially 1 off property

A full two days of pole dancing.
A bit cold this morning, the pole in the picture is unpainted. No white on it!

I didnt take any photos again, get too involved teaching.
Lots of fun had by all working on bend, transitions and a couple of physio exercises for the horses. Looking forward to the next Kapiti pole clinic on 1st & 2nd Aug

But next up is jumping at Te Marua on 25th July. 😊

Who Remembers Rupert that we finished breaking in and took to his first ridden show?
Hayley has done a great job getting him more exposure and expanding his jumping.
He's now for sale and looking for someone to have fun with.
