Deacons Gate Flint Joins The Team

We are happy to announce the arrival of Deacons Gate Flint.
He arrived from Queensland, Australia in the middle of a bitterly cold Southland winter and despite having never had to grow a winter coat he acclimated very well and has settled in to the Kiwi life as if he was born to do so.

Southland A&P Show 2019

March 2019 saw us enjoying another successful day out with two of our team.

We met loads of people and the horses enjoyed their day away from

home receiving many many cuddles and pats from their adoring fans.

This year we took Southwind Bailey and Kiwis Pretty Penny along.
