A hometown horse story - the Kaimanawa

When we rip the wild Kaimanawa from their home and pile them into the stockyards, we’re taking away their freedom and throwing them in a prison. My philosophy is to return them to freedom as soon as I can.

Another win for Equisoft

The Equisoft Sensitive bit from Acavallo continues to gather fans. We tried out this Italian-designed bit in Europe and were so impressed with it we now use it on nearly all of our horses, we genuinely have a team of very responsive and happy mouths. It's perfect to try if your horse has a very sensitive mouth - the soft, plastic material and innovative shape produces some fantastic results, as this happy customer will confirm.

Good hygiene: the mare bean

Mares, as well as geldings, can suffer from 'beans' composed of dust, dirt and smegma stuck in the folds of skin around their nether regions. It can be very uncomfortable for them, so it's important to keep them clean and healthy to avoid possible behavioural problems which can result. In this video I'll show you how.
