Going to Work in the Dark - The Story of the Pit Pony
17th Apr 2016   |   Horse Stories   |   Valkyrie
When you think of pit ponies often images of 19th century coal mines springs to view – dark and damp, with sooty, stale air dull on the tongue. But pit ponies were still in service well into the 20th century. In fact – the last recorded colliery horse was removed from underground ...

The incident that occurred on the fifth of May, 2011, may be New Zealand Thoroughbred gelding Banna Strand's only claim to fame. By the Danehill son Danasinga, out of a Kaapstad mare, Banna Strand (2003) was trained by John Wheeler and had an unsuccessful flat racing career, neve ...

Is Barbed Wire Fencing Safe For Horse Pastures?
22nd Oct 2011   |   General   |   Valkyrie
Recently I’ve seen a lot of members who have formed a lynch mob and are going around sneering at and jeering other members who have barbed wire fencing. This is immature and heavy-handed behaviour. I myself was a victim of one of these members and did not appreciate their holier- ...

New Zealand Horse Racing - Par Xcellence
30th Sep 2010   |   Horse Stories   |   Valkyrie
The announcer's voice boomed from the speakers over the course as the nine-strong field of the 2007 Sir James Fletcher Stakes thundered down the Ellerslie straight. As he spat out the names of the frontrunners, a large bay at the back of the pack caught his eye. ...

Barefoot
25th Aug 2010   |   Care and Grooming   |   Valkyrie

Poss and I

When I was about 13 or 14 I had the great opportunity to raise a possum. New Zealand possums are different from American opossums. They came over from Australia and are now a pest that destroys native trees, kills native birds and passes tuberculosis onto cattle. In Australia the ...

Life Lessons From a Horse

I have learned many things in the nearly eighteen-years I have walked this earth. But perhaps the most valuable lessons have come from owning my two cheeky, adorable miniature horses Beauty and Star. I thought I should share them with you, and we can all become richer for the exp ...

Let's face it guys, what could be more unnatural than having a finger-sized piece of cold metal shoved into our mouths and strapped to our heads so that we couldn't get it out? Not to mention being steered by it, often by rough hands so that the metal rubs at our mouths and somet ...
