Take time out with The Horse - Christmas and New Year School holiday programmes at Abi's Natural Horsemanship and Riding School.
Want to adopt a horse or pony and feel as though it is yours?
Want to make a new best friend?
Is it time to try something new?
We can provide all this and more with our educational and fun holiday programmes. You will learn how to safely prepare The Horse for riding, gain skills in leadership, decision making as well as building confidence within yourself. There is the opportunity to create connection, trust and respect on the ground before riding, in an enclosed arena, as well as explore the local countryside from a different angle.
The programmes are suitable for those aged 5 and upwards.
They are running on various dates from the 21st of December through to 29th of January.
Costs range from $50 to $180 dependent on length of programme. Discounts for parents or siblings under 16 who would like to join in on the same programme.
Please note that where a full day is mentioned then there is always the option to do a half day either in the morning or afternoon.
For more details please take a look at our website ( www.abiricketts.com...) or don't hesitate to get in touch by e-mail, phone or text.
We look forward to expanding your knowledge of these four legged animals
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
