Sarah’s arena gets a groom. Should be nice and bouncy now!

After moving in we discovered that Sarah’s arena didn’t have a top surface. It was just a crusher dust base, but the previous owner had never put a surface on it. So unfortunately we needed to put 75 tonnes of sand on the top! The trucks came today at 8:30am…   Never boring at the Stones!

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.
