As if the products we’re already using from Syncroflex hadn’t already proven themselves invaluable, we’ve now been introduced to another addition to their range and, once again, it does exactly what it says it will!

On the trip home from Christchurch, a couple of the horses decided to test our emergency-response skills with a minor disagreement in the truck. Thankfully everything was quickly sorted, no one was seriously hurt, and all the horses arrived home safe and well.

To help keep them comfortable for the remainder of the journey, we added Syncrofen Express to their routine. As a natural anti-inflammatory, it was the perfect option to support them after their little altercation and ensure any bumps, bruises, or niggles didn’t make the long trip home any less comfortable.

A huge thank you to Syncroflex HA. We love working with products that genuinely do what they promise, and once again your range has helped keep our horses feeling their best.

One of the exciting things to come out of our South Island trip was firming up a plan with Maia for Still Waters Dilemma!

We are super excited that Dilemma will be heading to Maia so he can begin the next stage of his journey.

Dilemma is a young horse we’ve always had a lot of belief in. He’s athletic, scopey, correct, and has all the ingredients to develop into a very exciting horse for the future.

We’re looking forward to working alongside Maia as Dilemma starts his under-saddle career and develops through the ranks. It’s always exciting to see a young horse begin building a partnership with a rider, and we can’t wait to watch these two learn and grow together.

We think Dilemma is going to be pretty impressive, and we’re excited to see what Maia and him can achieve as a team. We have a feeling there are some exciting times ahead for both of them!

What an incredible day for Indie!

She was absolutely spoilt today thanks to the amazing team at Nayton Mitchell Racing. The adventure started with a visit to the iconic Riccarton Racecourse before heading out onto the hunt field for her very first hunt.

As if that wasn’t exciting enough, she was lucky enough to ride the beautiful Tickety Boo Penny Rose, then Maia generously let her hop aboard her big boy Basil, and to top it all off, she even got a sit on Nayton’s impressive Ice!

Days like this are what horse-crazy kids dream of, new experiences, wonderful horses, and making memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t thank everyone enough for making Indie feel so welcome and giving her such a special introduction to a whole new side of the horse world.

Safe to say she’s gone to bed tonight with a very big smile and plenty of stories to tell!

Some of the very best parts of breeding horses are the relationships that come with it, and we absolutely love the connection we’ve built with the Holyoake family.

Last year they welcomed Still Waters Darc n Stormy into their family, and this season they added Still Waters Class Avenue and Still Waters On The Rocks to the team. Delivering these babies was a fantastic excuse to catch up, but even better was getting to see Stormy again and watch how well she is doing in her wonderful home.

A huge thank you to the Holyoake family for their incredible hospitality, the delicious dinner and drinks, and for making us feel so welcome. Seeing our horses so loved and appreciated means the world to us, and we’re excited to follow the journey of all three of these special youngsters.

We absolutely love that on the babies’ big trip to the South Island we’ve been able to stop off and let them stretch their legs, relax, and break up the journey a little. Even better when one of those stops is at the property of one of the people we trust most with the health and wellbeing of our horses, Anna Marie’s place, or as most of you would know her, from Syncroflex HA.

A huge thank you to Anna Marie for being so welcoming and accommodating. Having somewhere safe and peaceful for the babies to rest, graze, and reset before continuing the trip south means so much to us. It’s pretty special being surrounded by people who genuinely care about the horses as much as we do.

Happy babies, safe travels, and very grateful hearts here at Still Waters.

I do wonder what is going through Indie’s head as she jumps this log at the cross country course in Taupo. She’s clearly been watching the older riders walk their courses and count out their strides, like a little sponge soaking up absolutely everything around her and trying her best to replicate it all herself.

It’s pretty special watching a tiny human so determined to learn, completely immersed in the world around her and already wanting to do things just like the big riders she admires.

And of course she’s looking incredibly cute while doing it, but more importantly warm, which is absolutely essential in Taupo this time of year! Rugged up in her Felicity jacket by Team Bloomfield’s NZ and her Mini Maya Ultra High Pleated leggings, she was very much serving tiny event rider energy.

We were pretty excited when our farrier mentioned glue-on shoes as an option for some of our horses. The idea of being able to provide extra support and protection without putting nail holes into the hoof was something that really caught our attention, especially for horses needing a little extra care or comfort.

Glue-on shoes can be a fantastic option for horses needing extra support, comfort, or hoof protection without the concussion and nail holes of traditional shoeing. They’re especially beneficial for horses with poor hoof quality, thin soles, cracks, rehabilitation needs, or those competing on hard ground.

Because they distribute pressure more evenly across the hoof capsule, glue-ons can improve comfort and help support healthier hoof growth while still providing traction and performance benefits. Many horses also move more freely and confidently in them, particularly sensitive horses or those coming back from injury.

As an added bonus, Elise was super keen to help our stud customise the cuffs so we could have our stud logo on them too! Being able to customise the colours and add our logo was the final touch and honestly, we were sold!

Like any shoeing option, the right choice depends on the individual horse, their workload, hoof health, and environment, but for many horses, glue-ons can be a real game changer.
