It  it has been  an extremely busy  couple of months.  QNZH team was on the road  EVERY weekend for 7 weeks  eventing and  with 2 of our  horses Felix and Topper. 
Both started out at pre training level, stepped up to Training  and finished super confident at Pre Novice . So that was great  !!!  Now  going to concentrate on SJing for the summer months and bring out some of the smart young ones, can't wait....

Very happy with  5 lovely healthy "Grasshopper" foals this spring, they are all grey and one dark bay . Grassy  has painted them all with white sox which is nice.

Sadly, dear Sophie had to be put down when her baby was only 3 days old. A foster mother was not available  at the time so she is being hand reared here at the house. Intensive and time consuming ,  I am lacking  sleep but enjoying it immensly. Visitors get to feed the foal  out of her bowl , much to their delight !!!

The most recent guest  was  our loyal client Heather Gillette from USA (  we sourced her fab  3*  horses ,  "Opera Groove" and  "Our Questionare" ). Heather and hubby Eric were having a "belated honey moon" and had a great time exploring NZ.
From vineyards, to beaches, they really got around and even managed to fit in a day at Richfields Horse Trials with us  as we  scouted for  talent !!!!

Still have not found a replacement for Anka our beloved groom/rider.   Not rushing into it as really want the right person that will just slot in.   So , JOB IS STILL AVAILABLE  here in Cambridge with our small team of eventers and jumpers. Anka is coming to stay when she finishes university  in Auckland  mid December so will be great to catch up with her again .  She has not seen all the babies yet !!!

At the moment we are trying to 'will' it to rain. It is so dry and dusty here already and only just end of spring.  After weeks of non stop rain......... we are now blessed with weeks of NO RAIN .......ahhhhhhh!!!!
