With the coming of September, brings Spring - and the 2026/2027 breeding season. 🌱
This season we are very excited to have both Misty and Kimmi head to Highbridge Sporthorses for breeding to Chief (Darvel Supanova).

It will be a long 11 months and 11 days for our foals - one a guaranteed dilute - the other - who knows! What we do know, is that we will be lucky to have two foals with super temperaments. 🦄

Although we tend to be a bit dormant over winter, we still have agistment horses coming for a holiday break.

Lovely Manu is a regular visitor, coming in for some exercise and a brush on this gloomy day. 🦄

Rocky 🗿 went to his wonderful new home today.
I'm looking forward to sharing updates on his new career in the near future.

Holiday time means this ginger hippo needs to come back into work.
Started 12 months ago, Rocky 🗿 needed time to grow and develop confidence.
He didn't read the memo about growing his brain, not his waist line!

Otis 🍁 has been fantastic to work with over the last week. Ticking all the pre riding boxes.

Post exercise treats for Otis 🍁, a lovely pony who has been super well handled by his owner.
He's here to be 'finished' rather than started and so far, has been very brave - especially at 5am!

It was lovely to see Zeph (Highbridge Zephyr) and Monty (Highbridge Monte Carlo) blessed at the St Francis service at Nga Tawa.
Both full siblings bred by Highbridge Sporthorses and brothers to Rocky (Highbridge Scirocco).
