23.01.2022 Can everyone relate? I can!!!! OP McLean (Shaka) yes, I'm thinking of you... <3

23.01.2022 What a great little article from our good friend Jenny Austin. I can relate to both I’ve Lost It! and But I Got Hurt! Thankfully I’ve always had great coaching friends and a horse I love to get me back in the saddle. What about you? Any brilliant tips out there? For local Adelaideans, Jenny offers coaching sessions to help and we highly recommend her

22.01.2022 How are your Spring ponies going everyone?

19.01.2022 Here at Oakwood Park, there's always something different going on. This past weekend we hosted a fabulous group of families spending time with some of our beloved horses, facilitated by the wonderful Willow Winter Vetch and The Girl Gang.Wellness. Head on over to their pages or check Insta for details of the equine therapy sessions these wonderful ladies have developed. Our horses love working with Willow and it's fabulous that this program lets our horses meet new people and work with them in such a calm and loving environment.

18.01.2022 We often get asked about how we go about managing our horse paddocks without nasty sprays. Anyone running small acreages knows it’s a real challenge! Those who know us also know we’ve been quietly working with Natural Sequence Farming concepts for a few years now. We love that it’s developed by Australians who really understand horses as well as the land. We are so excited that an NSF training program is coming up here in SA, at a really affordable price to support our bushfire and Covid recovery. Take a week off, book this course in, and let’s help KI tourism while we’re at it Please pass this on far and wide - numbers need to be confirmed soon!!

16.01.2022 Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross to see a fine lady upon a white horse .... /Waler Data Base 3d ... Trivia... in England, when an extra horse was put at the front of a team to pull a vehicle uphill, it was called a cock horse. There were many inns named The Cock - usually at the bottom of hills, sometimes the top - they had not a rooster, but a horse painted on their sign. Many gypsies made a good living hiring cock horses to coaches and loaded farm vehicles in the country near their camps. The cock horse always had a postilion (rider) as it was unharnessed and returned home/wherever with owner after the hill was climbed - there's an old nursery rhyme "Ride A Cock Horse To Banbury Cross" from those times. The term wasn't used in Australia as far as I know (can't find any use in archives).

16.01.2022 How is this for a beautiful snippet of our lovely horses in their work helping humans :)

13.01.2022 I love this, having only recently really gotten courageous enough again on my own big fella. It’s such a feeling of freedom when you can just relax and let them go

13.01.2022 I love this one! murdering crocodile chairs!!

12.01.2022 Of course we all knew this in our hearts. They know our faces and our footsteps :) but scientific evidence is always good!

11.01.2022 When this happens while you’re doing up belly straps on a youngsters rug and she hasn’t been rugged before lucky she’s so quiet no halter, she ran a few steps away then turned to look and let us finish the straps. The wind gust was so strong and loud we humans hadn’t even heard the branch come down just 20 feet away! #crazywind

02.01.2022 Marie down at Mt Gambier is a fabulous teacher! We highly recommend her to our friends down that way :)

01.01.2022 What a brilliant new service here in SA :) I loved learning to trim. It’s very empower!
