25.01.2022 I can credit the polo world for a true concept of proper fitness for performance horses. In good programs, the horses often go out twice a day. They go in sets ...of 3-5 or so horses. They walk for an hour (walking is IMPORTANT too), they trot for 15-20 minutes or so & walk some more. Most are singled several days a week. They short work/school them & breeze them out often. You have to condition their lungs too (that’s a whole other conversation I won’t go into right now but we’ll talk about it later). These horses are in incredible shape. They have to be. I find proper conditioning to be undervalued & quite frankly, many lack knowledge on it. Whether they truly don’t know or they don’t care to know is a different story. You cannot pull your horse out of the pasture on the weekends & go expect them to perform for you after not touching them all week. You’ll always see the bragging posts like pulled sparkles out of the pasture after seven months off & entered the jackpot last night!! 7th in the 6D even outta shape!! I’m EMBARRASSED for you. That’s not impressive. Personally, I find it cruel & selfish. That’s like someone pulling your happy ass off the couch after hibernating all winter & making you run a 5k. Do better. Be better.

23.01.2022 Looks about right

22.01.2022 Our wonderful sponsor and friend Khara from Heavenleigh Horsewear now has her website up and running! Heaps of great in stock boots, brushes and more

22.01.2022 Young Rudi is an absolute pleasure, it’s fantastic seeing so many breeders closely following the journeys of their lovely ponies

22.01.2022 My much needed couple of weeks holiday is almost over .... However very much looking forward getting back to the ponies and welcoming back many of my loyal clients and some new faces too

15.01.2022 Livin' life on the edge

15.01.2022 Mr Manny at his Antola Lodge outing today, this lovely young fellow with me from Kerulen Stud for some exposure and ground work. At just 2years old and having only been with me for less than a week it was a big ask to tackle the course today however he was very brave and I was so pleased with him, a credit to his breeding and handling so far Thank you Grace for the pics

12.01.2022 George didn’t find a home so I guess he’s staying.... and he has a new job First time ponying a pony from him and first time for little tic tac being ponied also... it’s not something I’m experienced in at all in terms of using it as a training tool but you’ve gotta start somewhere! Once we’ve all got a little more confidence in what we’re doing, will be a great way to introduce the ponies to the forest.. George loves company and has absolutely zero concept of personal space so I feel like this could be his calling in life.. he really is 1 in a million

11.01.2022 Pssst! Wanna buy a pony? Riding has many benefits for both the mind and the body. For the young rider it is a great chance to get outside, away from the glowing... screen, and have fun learning new skills. Horsemanship and the care of another creature teaches a great deal about responsibility and can prove a balancing pastime that encourages making new friends - both human and equine alike! However, finding the first pony is a little like finding a needle in a haystack; the pony must tick many boxes, with safety and reliability paramount. Here are some of the factors to take into account.... Read more: www.equestrianlife.com.au/articles/Pssst-Wanna-buy-a-pony Image: Equine Image Photography #eqlifeaus

11.01.2022 Sounds about right

09.01.2022 We have received clarification from SA Health that we may continue to perform what is required and what we would normally do to ensure the safety and well being... our horses and animals if there is no one else present to do so: Providing feed and water Movement of horses (welfare/veterinarian only) Exercising of horses (excludes training and competing) Shoeing horses if essential Please note in performing these requirements individuals will need to comply with health and safety requirements: Wearing a mask outside the home Sanitising hands Maintaining physical distancing We trust this information satisfies most of your questions. Please take care and follow the advise of SA Health, Office Recreation and Sport and SA Government as the situation is changing rapidly.

09.01.2022 Playing with a little liberty today This is a big win for this little guy to stay with me, he is super sensitive which is so nice to work with, but also a fine line to keep him sensitive but not reactive. Not much is known about his training history but he is really lacking in some foundations so we’re taking it right back to the start and will build him back up so he is more confident in himself and what I’m asking

07.01.2022 First day with the crupper on for little Basil, our adventures into the world of harness are well underway

06.01.2022 The gorgeous Snickers is available to a very special home, he really is the whole package, looks, movement and temperament!! He is currently in work with me and video will be available later this week

04.01.2022 The Mongol Derby is definitely on bucket list for me! I feel like everyday riding youngsters is definitely good training

02.01.2022 Great day at Antola Lodge with Bear and Bluey.. some snippets of the lovely Bear who will be for sale in the near future Thanks Lainie & Jodie for the company
