Carriage of Occasion

10/01/2025

would love to share photos with you, from the magnificent sessions we had at the beach this morning... and the dolphins that swam past just before we headed in.

but I cant, because I put my phone into a waterproof bag thing so I could get underwater leg videos, and apparently my waterproof bag wasn't water proof... and then I got stung by a jellyfish....

so here is lovely Fiona, snuggling with Henry and Angus.... (and Henry may or may not have stepped on Fionas feet while paddling this morning)...

so umm.... the beach was amazing, but I may be slow to respond to calls or messages today until I can make my phone remember how to behave in an orderly manner

Dental day today, for all 8 of the horses!!

5 wolf teeth extracted.

All with a clean bill of health, from Dr Charlotte, from horsemed_hills…

Speaking of bills, if you’d like to help me pay my (rather large) dentistry maintenance bill, for the next week, use the code DENTIST on check out, and you will get 25% of any of our carriage tours ….

Brilliant way to start the day, for a 50th birthday treat on our budget friendly family ride around Bletchley.

We went out early to beat the heat, and because it’s dental day for all our horses.

I’ve put up sessions for horse beach experience, for this Friday and Saturday. It isn’t as hot as I’d like, but the tide, wind and waves are looking nice, and the extended warm days should make it lovely.

It seems baby Brian has grown a bit of a brain cell 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Today he and Calvin had an outing to Milang for a bit of a paddle. While ‘training’ and longreining he has been doing very well lately, outings are usually met with flamboyance and excitement.. and a bit of a reluctance to get on the float.

This time however, he loaded and travelled and unloaded calmly. Bravely waltzed into the water for a bit of a play, then calmly ate grass while taking in his surroundings.

Very happy with my not so little baby 😍😍😍

I’ve just updated our carriage availability for the rest of January school holidays.

Making a come back is pp carriage rides, $25/adult, $15/kid in our beautiful big landeau. Here is the link to book them https://carriageofoccasion.rezdy.com/572780/carriage-ride

I’ve put on some more days of bear hunts, wine tours, and budget friendly carriage rides, and a day of golden oldies tour makes an appearance too… here is the list of all of our tours https://carriageofoccasion.rezdy.com/index

It is really tricky getting all of the details into the booking program, when the range is as diverse as ours, so if you are confused by pricing, dates or details, or can’t find what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to send us a message and we can help you out.

Was going to share January plans this evening for school holiday carriage availability, however Smokey and I have been sidetracked by the live broadcast of AJ2025 scout jamboree opening ceremony on YouTube.

We dropped Patrick at the airport this morning, for the most amazing 10 day experience of his life to date!

Carriage things will have to wait until tomorrow!

Well the grass might be greener on the other side of the fence (there actually isn’t any grass)

….

But I actually have no idea how he got there, OR how I’m going to get him out…..

I’m thinking about offering bear hunts for some days, during the remainder of the January school holidays. In the past, these haven’t sold overly well, so I need your help!!

Previously these have been $175 for a 45 minute session, for up to 10 people- making it roughly $17.50 each!!! (For exclusive use of carriage)

The kids get a checklist and binoculars, and we tootle around Strathalbyn in the carriage looking for teddy bears..

How could I offer these to make them more desirable??

Today’s wedding was a real life fairytale, with a castle, a horse and carriage, the most magnificent bride and groom, and just a little bit magic.

Simply incredible. Henry was amazing for only his second solo wedding.

Happy Anniversary Beautiful Boys!!

9 years! How far we have come. I’m so bloody proud and in awe of the amazing horses you are.

Some happy snaps from our lovely, productive home day.

My good friend Kate came over today, to help me with some odd jobs. We hung a gate, got 3 boxes of tree tubes filled with dirt, then we took Monty and Luna for their first off property walk.

They both LOVED Kate. Monty tried to drive her wheel chair, and Luna happily walked alongside (while Monty was like a drunker sailor looking at all the things 😂)

Heading back to the pub, on our last job for the year, Henry flying solo again, with the most delightful passengers on a wine tour, with one couple coming all the way from England!
