Molly the wonderhorse!


Liz popped over with Molly to say hi. Jack made sure he got a ride.

Sarah’s new horse float! Yay!





Sarah’s new horse float has finally arrived! I hope she really enjoys it and uses it heaps – Sarah’s a wonderful mum, wife and really deserves this…

Horses: Mac and Baxter


This is Kate with her horse Baxter.



And this wee furball is Mac. Sarah is a sucker for rescuing horses. She saved this young gluepot from a one way visit to the dog tucker factory. He’s having a short stay with us, then will be up for sale…

Sarah and Baxter – Winners!

Well not really, but 4th place and that’s fantastic (out of 25 others). Well done you two!

This was at the Hororata HunterTrials.

Sarah and Jack Chilling…

Dan the man – Cruising around!



A new family member – “Dan the Man!”



Now that “Ellie” had found a new home (and is now gone), our new TradeMe purchase “Dan” has arrived! YAY!

He is a real sweetie. He has met me (Sarah), Julian, Baby Jackson, Daisy the Dog and the family of peacocks that visit our place occasionally, and he has been very sweet to all of them. I did feel very sorry for him as he looked rather worn out from his journey – but he coped with everything here very well. I gave him some hay and water in the yard to begin with, and he nearly drank the whole bucket – poor guy. Then I put him out in his paddock and he walked the entire perimeter checking everything out in his cruisy manner.

We later went out to check he was ok, and give him a small feed – and he is warm and cozy in his cover. (which is slightly too big, and has a few tears in it from it’s previous wearer – I am going to get him a new one I think) Then the neighbour decided to walk down the drive way with the wheely bin and he whinnied out – he has a gentle voice too. He even had a wee trot round the paddock then too so it was nice to see him moving.

He does look quite thin – I think the trip was hard on him, but he will pick up – I will look after him. These are pics of his first day at his new home. “Welcome Home Dan!”
