A change of scenery for some of the team yesterday, with a trip out to Pleasant View!

📸 L–R: Still Bangon, Fair Share, and Good Spot enjoying the outing. We can understand why the horses love their time up here so much, because the riders do too - good for the body and mind!

We’ve been a little quiet on the socials lately, but it’s been all go behind the scenes. Our team has now relocated to Tuhikaramea, giving us access to some incredible facilities. The horses are absolutely loving the variety in their training and are thriving in the new environment.

While we’re still settling into the new setup, be rest assured it’s very much business as usual. A huge thank you to all our clients for your continued support through the transition—we truly appreciate it.

We’ll be making more of an effort to keep the updates coming now that things are starting to fall into place. Stay tuned!

🥇JOHNNY RONDO 🔥

He has put in some nice runs this prep but great to have him put it all together today and reward everyone for their patience. He has come a long way in a short time and has improved with every start, all positive signs that he will go on with it.

A huge thankyou as always to the staff at home for all their hard work to make these results possible. Also his big group of owners for their support of the stable.

Great start to the 24/25 season. Let's go 💪

While She'll Be Right had stolen the spotlight earlier in the day, JOHNNY RONDO also put in a bold run. Appreciating the better going today, he was doing his best work late to finish 3rd 🥉

A great effort from our two stable runners today, big thanks to everyone who contributes on a daily basis to help make these results possible 🙏
