Dunkid, Section A, Welsh Pony for Sale. Sealord is a little girl or boy's dream pony. He is a fantastic lead rein pony and is suitable as a first or second pony for a rider just coming off lead rein. He is versatile that he can go according to his rider's ability. He has show experience in jumping up to 30 and 40cm and showing lead rein classes. He is great with voice commands, he boxes like a dream. As a small adult, I have done some dressage training with him and he is divine. Heartbreaking sale as Riding School Yard is closing down. He is available for R28k with tack. Contact Sarah on 0823444464

Keep trying!

Thank you Charterhouse Grd 7's for stopping by to come spoil our ponies. Their English teacher took the initiative to contact us and set up a meet & greet, and for the kids (and teachers!) to come and learn a bit more about horses. Their set book for next term is War Horse, and how better to learn than to experience horses first hand. Thank you to our ponies : Super Red for the sweet kisses in exchange for treats, Peanut showing off her moves, with Sarah in the saddle, Royal Medal and Annelise for showing how gentle this giant can be - he is so trusting! And of course Snowbell and Sealord, who just loved the attention so much and provided oodles of cuteness. 😍😍

Best of luck to Sarah and Fury who are going to be competing at Pine Ridge tomorrow for showjumping and to Jess and DD who are at Q4 Interschools qualifier tomorrow at Maple Ridge. Hope you both have awesome rides!

Food for thought

The Science Behind Equine Boots and Bandages What purpose does equine legwear really serve? Here's what you need to know.

Tomorrow Dezzi leaves the bustling life of a riding school pony to become a much loved lawn ornament. She has worked hard and been a much loved part of the Hope family with her large personality in her little body. Unfortunately her injury has not healed up and according to the x-rays, its more than likely permanent. After much consideration for her welfare and care, she will be living the spoilt life of a pet.
Love you my little Dezzibelle! Thank you Sonia for giving us the opportunity to have her as part of our family.

What have you done to make your horse look up, ears forward for that perfect pic? Mostly we just get Sarah to wear the kettle braai cover! lol

Share your photos with us... good and bad! 😂🖒🐎
