Sanctum Grove Equine

Hunt season 2024, most awesome ever

It is with much regret that we laid the mighty Cheese to rest yesterday, after a short and aggressive illness

I shall miss the big guy beyond words and cherish all the wonderful memories he gave when we were together

His patience, sense of adventure and the joy that he brought to the many lives he touched

Till we meet again buddy

What a difference a year can make

Hi team, sorry but I'm changing direction and shutting the business down for the foreseeable future

Been a busy few weeks here at Sanctum Grove.

Even thought they are in full holiday mode, there is no rest for the wicked with teeth being done, saddle fitting and turned out in their winter grazing.

Even managed to squeeze in a couple of Hunts.

Bungo and I back in our happy place Hunting at St Bathens Sunday 18th April 2021.

Getting our MOJO back after a nasty crash at Waimate District Hunt's opening.

If you are having confidence or anxiety with your riding I have been there and may be able to help.

Even though the ponies are in holiday mode we are still available to give lessons on your own mount on either our recently resurfaced arena or we can travel to you.

I am a qualified riding instructor with over 30 years experience in a range of Equine sports, as well as tutoring National Certificate in Equine Level 3&4, and former pony club head instructor.

We also have a full set of Jump for Joy showjumps including pickets, a range of fillers, Liverpools and more.

Having confidence issues? I would love to work with you to achieve your goals through small achievable steps.

Hunt season has started and absolutely loving getting out on Bungo The Wonder Pony, even though he can be overly dramatic in his jumping style., thank you David Hayes for the wonderful photos

Hoping everyone is well and a quick update for you

With winter approaching, lack of daylight hours and ponies not having a break since covid lockdown last year, I have turned them off for a well deserved break from lessons, treks and parties for the winter but we will start up again inthe spring.

With the exception of pony camp in the July school holidays.

I am still avail for lessons on your own pony, or you are more than welcome to hire the area and enjoy the our range of jump fo joy jumps, including some new arrivals.
