GENERAL

 A pictorial tour of the stud and gardens throughout the year.

Three rather pregnant grey girls waiting for their tea.
Left to right Linden Summer Song, Kirreway Charade and Royalwood Cameo.

 

 

And then there is another side to it all. Mid-winter gloom!! Rain, mud and fog!!

 

And its tea time again!

 

The swallows are back and Spring is here!

 

Flowering cherry "Awanui" on a misty Spring morning.

 

Three of the girls enjoying the lush spring grass after a very wet winter.

 

Its October and the garden has welcomed Spring.

 

 Jacko "hiding" in the Kowhai tree hoping to catch one of the visiting Tuis.
He never has and would die of fright if he did!!

 

Kolbeach Stars and her Fernleigh Fine Print filly relaxing in the warm Spring sunshine.

 

Holly's Masterpiece (aka Darcy)  playing with his toy and what a very hard life he gives it.

 

The little waxeyes always visit the garden in Summer.

When the hot summer nights are here our lovely Louis sleeps in the cool basin- a very clever cat!!

 

Then there is Tuppy who has very important work to do.

 

 

 The mares & foals out on summer pasture.

 

 

And not forgetting those who clean up afterwards. Note the clear racial discrimination - the black faced must keep apart!

 

 The garden on a summer's day.

 

 

Our three very special, scruffy, little mates.

 

The mists of Autumn have arrived and the swallows will soon be gone.

 

But the kingfisher remains to keep watch.
