Marcus Oldham College visits NPE

marcus-oldham-college-12marcus-oldham-college-22marcus-oldham-college1It was great to have Marcus Oldham College from Australia(developing professionals in agriculture and the horse industry) visit North Park Equestrian again.  A fantastic bunch of students came to watch Andrea riding  Doringcourt and then afterward Andrea answered questions regarding dressage, breeding etc.  The 34 students have been traveling around the North Island for close to two weeks visiting the racing studs etc.  One student is staying on for work experience at Cambridge Stud.  It was fun having you visit and we wish you all the best with your studies.


Mystic Magic Passes Away

Mystic Magic affectionately known as “Yogi” passed away peacefully in the early hours of this morning aged 20.

Mystic Magic was an exceptionally special horse and friend to all that had the pleasure of sharing and being part of his life.   His kind gentle nature touched the hearts of many, always trying hard to please but also always enjoying himself.   He was a very lucky horse having only four wonderful homes in his life and all just loving him to bits!

You will be sadly missed Yogi and you will always be remembered in our hearts for being the very special horse that came into our lives!

It was great catching up with Jayden who made a quick visit to NZ last week.
Jayden is one of Australia’s most up and coming riders who also trains under the genius
eye of Leonie Bramall and his Australia Coach, Jenny Gehrke.
Jayden is making a strong stamp on the Australia Dressage stage
and has a huge future ahead of him on the International Dressage stage.
Was great catching up with you for a few days!
Leonie’s riders in Australia are all having a fantastic season, winning and placing
with very high percentages in all competitions and taking out the Championships.
