KIA ORA!!

I still exist, We have just been in orbit the last few months.

Firstly hows about this suave new website! I thought it was pretty cool, have a bit of a surf and see all our new ponies and updates!

Busy does not even begin to describe our bloody stable!

A quick update…

H.O.Y was fantastic, we didn’t win anything special but had a brilliant time, I cannot thank my unbelievable support crew enough..Michele, Sonja, Leeanne, Mirren, Jenny and Olivia you are all saints ;-)

…The ponies were turned out after they let down and are now big fat hairy manatees rolling around out the back, it’s amazing how quickly they go from lean, shiny sportsmodels to pudgy, bearded hillfolk when they really need the holiday…

…So with the competition horses out, a tribe of next seasons stars (rising 4 and 5yr olds) have come in for the winter, they are clipped out, shod and ready to learn the ropes in the hideous Auckland weather (if it ever should come)…

…The last thing we needed was more horses but the draw of Bruce Holden’s momentous sale at Ngahiwi in Gisborne was too much for us. So, gorgeward we did go to ‘just have a little look’ and perhaps by one of those nice Indoctro ones.  There was a fabulous turnout, however few of the vast crowd were being very ballsy about putting there hands in the air, despite the quality of some of Bruce’s youngstock being  just outstanding. So we ended up buying 19 of the bloody things…

…In the middle of the night a few days after the sale a cattle truck and trailer full of exhausted ponies pulled up at our yards, and here we are with a stable overflowing with fresh faces, every single one of them are fantastic, both the flash youngsters and the good old coasties alike. Not one bad apple, thanks boys.

Anyway, here we are busily selling horses and starting the winter training thing… All is well at weiti stables ;-)

Team Ngahiwi, a bit suspicious morning one at Weiti.

ALICE 4 CHUGGY!…

Eeek HOY is only a couple of short weeks away! The season has cruised on down to the big finale very quickly. We are only taking three down this year, Weiti Eros the fattest 5yr old on the curcuit by a few hundred hamburgers (He’s on a diet for the big occasion), Ruby Tuesday my nutty redheaded sprat and Agastache the hilariously grumpy bushpig (He keeps asking me when we are going pig hunting.. I say ‘No Aggie, you are going to be a famous Showjumper!… He doesn’t believe me ;-)

We had the most marvellous time at the Chris Chugg clinic at St Peters in Cambridge, He’s fantastic! Very scary but fantastic. I have never trained with someone who can completely fix all your problems in three hour long lessons, mind you i have never trained with an Australian… Who gave him a megaphone!

But seriously he is a sensational trainer and if you can take a bit of abuse (other wise known as constructive criticism) I highly recommend training with him next time he is over. I am four times as effective and balanced as i was going into the clinic. AWESOME!

So we have a nice home game at woodhill next weekend, the kids can have a blow out before the week long marathon that is HOY the following Monday. Yehaa!
