Thumper is always up for a splash 💦 down on hot days. All horses are enjoying their R&R and all horses are up the hill under the trees where it is coolest. They all got their electrolytes which means they are adequately hydrated 💧

🎄 That’s a wrap for 2025 at Alkira Adina Equestrian 🐎

We are now officially closed for Christmas and will be back from Monday January 5 after a well-earned rest for both our humans and our four-legged staff (who are very much looking forward to extra hay, naps, and zero expectations).

Thank you for being part of our year — for the trust, the laughs, the muddy boots, the breakthroughs, and the moments that reminded us why we do this. It’s been a big year, and we’re incredibly grateful.

If you’re still chasing a last-minute Christmas gift (and don’t want to brave the shops), gift vouchers are still available — zero wrapping required and guaranteed to be better than socks 😉🎁

We hope your Christmas is full of calm moments, good food, and plenty of reins-down time. Give your loved ones (and animals) a pat from us 🐴💛

See you in the New Year — refreshed, recharged, and ready to get back in the saddle.

Merry Christmas,
🎄🩷🐴Vanessa 🐴🩷🎄

Santa can’t fit a pony down the chimney this year?
Buy a gift voucher instead.

If you’ve got a horse-crazy kid in your house, you already know how this goes.

They draw ponies.
They talk about ponies.
They become a pony when they trot down the hallway.
And every year, without fail, “PONY!” appears at the top of their Christmas list in giant, hopeful letters.

And look — you adore their passion.
You love that sparkle in their eyes when they see a horse.
You’d give them the whole world if you could.

But a pony?
A pony comes with…
Feed costs.
Rugs.
Float trips.
Hoof trims.
Vet bills.
And, let’s be honest: a LOT of poo. 😂

So what do you do when your child dreams of horses, but buying one just isn’t an option?

You give them the next best thing —
real pony time, real confidence, real joy… without owning the horse.
And that’s exactly what our Alkira Adina Equestrian Gift Vouchers are made for.

These vouchers aren’t “just a present.”
They’re a ticket to a moment your child will remember forever.
A moment where they light up.
A moment where they feel brave, capable, grounded, and connected.
A moment full of horse hugs, learning, movement, fresh air, and pure delight.

🎁 Perfect for:
• Christmas morning magic
• Birthdays
• Kids who don’t do well with typical sports
• Grandparents who want to give experiences, not clutter
• Parents who want to gift confidence, not more plastic toys

We’re a warm, family-run equestrian centre located in Chandlers Hill, just 20 minutes south of Adelaide, and we work with kids of all abilities — including those who learn differently or thrive with hands-on, experiential learning.

If your child loves animals…
If they need a space to grow…
If they’ve been begging for a pony since they could talk…
This is your moment to give them something truly meaningful.

No mud.
No feed bill.
No mucking out.
Just pure horse-filled happiness. 🐴✨

Give them the magic they’ve been dreaming of — without needing a paddock.

Give the gift of confidence and connection. Use this voucher for riding lessons, natural horsemanship, equine-assisted learning, or mini clinics with our quiet horses and qualified educators.

Lovely evening for a riding lesson

When the grass grows tall enough that you don’t get zapped when you have a little nibble 😂

29/11/2025

Yes, more photos of grass 😅 but this paddock had been eaten down so bare there wasn’t even a blade of w**d 😱. I’ve been spraying w**ds and obviously planted seeds earlier in the year. It’s fantastic to see some growth. I haven’t been able to keep horses out of this paddock as much as I wanted to this year (logistics issue) but will do so next season. Anyway, I’m just excited we have some growth 🙌🏼. I’ve learnt so much about grass/ w**ds/ management/ fencing/ spray technology and techniques **dmanagement
