A super weekend away at the South Island 3DE and a post about the ponies coming soon.

But a quick note to say, I have been swamped with messages this weekend about ponies and lessons, so I will endeavour to get back to everyone ASAP but bear with me - Doing my best! 😇

Ft Pippa and the dogs.... thanks The Art Of Michelle Clarke for the adorable photos 📸

•• Adult Riding Lessons ••

Hands up if there is any interest in adult group riding lessons? 🙋‍♀️

Private lessons?

A week day morning or a week day evening would suit best? (a.k.a Coffee Club or Gin night? 😂🤣)

Bring your own horse or ride one of mine?

Jumping? Hacking? Poles? Confidence Building? Exposure for young or green horses?

I am happy to teach all levels from complete beginner up to those with their own horses.

I am open to ideas if there is enough interest out there but would require a weekly commitment during school term times ☺️

Hit me with your ideas or if you have any specific request let me know 😃

🏡 PONIES LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT PEOPLE!!

📋 Information sheets are available for all ponies, and I will flick more detailed posts up for each during the week.

💚 TANGO
📏 12.2hh (127.5cm) | 10 years old
Welsh x ERP Gelding
By Kolbeach Sensation out of Jubilee How Bizzare

A real project pony who needs a capable child or small adult. Unfortunately, I don’t have a small enough jockey with the time to give him the consistency he deserves.

He moves exceptionally well, is a dream to handle on the ground and is good to lead off other horses. Has a cute wee jump, With the right person willing to put in the time, he has plenty to offer!

🧡 SHARLAND PARK MACEY - On Behalf
📏 12hh | 14 years old
Welsh Mare

A fun little mare with a lovely history here, having previously been part of our riding school and taught lots of children to ride!

Her current owners have had her for the past three years, during which time she has been a first-ridden type. PC, Cowboy challenge, hacking, low level jumping. A lovely little mare looking for her next chapter. 🧡

❤️ CAPPUCCINO (Cappi) - On Behalf
📏 14hh | 13 years old
Welsh x Thoroughbred Mare

Cappi has previously evented to 80cm and show jumped to 90cm. Her current owners purchased her for games, but she hasn’t proven to be the right fit for that job.

She’s a forward-moving mare with a kind, honest nature and no dirt. A lovely option for someone looking for pony with some experience under her belt. ❤️

💚 BARLEY
📏 14.2hh | 10 years old
Welsh x Standardbred Mare

Barley was sold by us on behalf last year, but due to some issues in her new home, I ended up purchasing her back myself - happy to discuss with anyone genuinely interested.

She’s been back here since June and is now looking for that special home with a capable teenager or adult where she can become someone’s best friend, green but kind and willing. She’s would love her own person.

💚 PETE
📏 12.2hh (127.5cm)
Welsh x

A sweet wee guy who really thrives on consistent work. He loves to jump, is suitable for a range of riders with the basics established, and is happiest when he has a familiar routine.

Pete seems to get a little anxious in a new place or environment until he has time to settle, so probably more suited to a non competitive home who wants a fun pony to ride and adventure with at home.

I’ll be honest — I’m very much on the fence about selling this guy because he’s such a great wee pony, I just need him in a bigger version ideally.

🏡 The most important thing is finding the RIGHT homes and matches for each of them.
📩 please get in touch if someone catches your eye or you’d like to know more.

Everyone loves a bit of matchy matchy right?? 😅😅

Two of these guys are looking for new homes 🏡 and one has just come back to stay!!

From left to right:

Tango 12.2hh 11yo Welsh x ERP 💚💚
Very much a project pony who is easy to have around, but needs a small adult or capable kid to put some good miles on him.

Macey 12hh 14yo Welsh.
Great wee ridden mare, who was one of my first riding school ponies years ago, who's been a first ridden pony for a student for the last few years!

Maxy 😈😈 - Back to cause more trouble and hopefully wander around with Pippa, everyone is super happy he's home!

Flick me a message if you're on the pony hunt!
