This lovely family have been booked in for a while but with the unpredictable weather we’ve been having we’ve had to postpone a few times - however it was worth the weather because it was beautiful out there and one of the girls overcame her fear, she wanted to get off the beginning and loved it at the end. Now wants to book in again for her birthday. Thank you ponies :)

I think Dusty is sick of the mud at treks so decided to pay me a visit at the house 🤣

When the daylight hours are limited with a busy day at treks, the yearly horse dentist, and holiday program for the kids so you take a trek out at high tide…. (Not realising the tide was that big) but luckily the ponies are super chill and trustworthy 😍🐴 unfortunately it was too hard multi tasking to get good photos - they would have been epic - such a stunning day out there

First time on horses for these twins who absolutely loved it and want to come back. Such a beautiful day out there - and the minis had a great time too 😂

I had the pleasure of taking this lovely couple out on a trek this afternoon. It was a stunning late ride and although the horses wanted to eat lots on the way to the beach and Vienna come up a bit lame my customers were still super grateful for the experience. It’s people like this that make this trekking worth it ❤️ thank you Karen and Aniceto

Stunning morning out there this morning - 🐴 Marie and Veinna were such a match 🥰 Veinna even got a special groom afterwards and wanted to follow Marie rather than me back to the paddock 😂

Thank you to today’s trekkers that braved the four seasons in one day weather. From warm sun to icy wind to rain and rainbows - we had it all!!
Our youngest rider today was only 4 years old and she was super confident with no complaints during her 1 hour ride ❤️
We are open for bookings weather permitting 👍
