"My daughter attended the 3 day riding programme and I would like to say a big THANK YOU to Margo, Erica and the rest of the staff at Tielcey Park. Not only did she learn so much on her pony but she learnt just as much off the pony but I think the best part for me was that she had so much fun the whole time she was there and is so keen to do this again. So thank you for making this the highlight of my daughters school holidays, you were all fantastic." Tracey and Georgia

Perfect Pony Found!

Sasha had been enthaustically riding a neighbours pony for 6 months, loving farm trekking and basic dressage (inspired by watching Aunty Karen). Even the arrival of a kids motorbike had not detered her love of ponies, so the time had come to find her own. We put the word out and trawled the internet in our search for a bombproof steed, with not much luck so we enlisted the help of Aunty Karen.

Between her and Margo Aasen (Tielcey Park) they placed some ad's on the internet for us, and within two weeks had found us Jack. Jack is a 13year old 12hh black welsh pony (Verona Lodge), who had been semi-retired as he had been swapped for motorbikes, much to Sasha's horror (who couldn't believe someone would prefer motorbikes to ponies!!).

Jack's mum Vanessa has very kindly let us lease this special little man, for as long as we need to, and he is settling well into his new home (even with a strict diet to lose a few pounds!). He is such a gem, that one in a million pony that is so safe for kids to be around.

Sasha is riding him everyday to get him fit, and is taking him on some farm treks with pony club next week on the neighbouring farm. Sasha and Emma (BFF and neighbour) are looking forward to lots of fun together on their ponys this year.

We cannot thank Aunty Karen, Margo and Vanessa enough for making a 8yr old girls dream come true.

Just a quick thank you for allowing Saddle Up to have our dressage day at Tielcey Park.

All our riders really enjoyed themselves and riding indoors was an adventure & a treat!

Thanks again.

Lindy

Just a brief note to wish you both a relaxing and enjoyable Xmas break and to thank you both for your encouragement over the last few years. As a newbee to riding in 2005 I have so enjoyed my time coming to Tielceyand making tiny steps in the equestrian scene and meeting new horsey friends. I so enjoy it that it has now become somewhat compulsive :) I adore our Latano foal- Lighieri-he is a real treasure and he will have a wonderful life with us - we will never sell him on-that means I need to getmyself better as I know he will be a star:) Its an exciting aim! Enjoy the break- relax and enjoy your equine friends . Jenny C

Many thanks for the weekend Margo (and Timo) glad we didn't get the rain from the night before. See you all again in the new year! The girls really seemed to enjoy themselves! Jo and Georgia Linton

Awesome day thanks heaps! I came home really excited about doing dressage =) Thanks, Dana

Thank you for a wonderful day last Sunday. My husband (groom)! and I enjoyed the day and your facilities. I was a very nervous beginner and as I was first up in the intro test A I had a course error, even though I knew it inside out !. Thanks again for a great day and we hope that the series weather is just as kind later on. Regards Sandra Ray (Aberdare)

Hi Margo, Thanks for encouraging us to enter yesterday, Nikita had a great day! She spent most of her day brushing Red and sitting on the fence talking to him. She's very pleased with her ribbons, even though she was the only one in her class. Thanks,Emma

Thank you for your regular email updates on the activities and events hosted by Tielcey Park. I am responding in regards to the 'practice days with feedback from dressage judges'. What a fantastic idea! As I am unable to ride for the following 12 months, a local rider has taken the opportunity to compete my dressage horse for the winter. We will certainly be attending upcoming events held at Tielcey Park during the winter season, and I would like to thank you in advance for offering the facilities of Tielcey Park for such an opportunity. Best regards, Renee Pedley

"I ran out of time this morning to clean my stable, so I'll send a cheque off to you this week for stable cleaning - Ted (Glasha) went well today at Manawatu Showing Champs - he won the Champion Pleasure Horse, then went on to win Champion of Champion Pleasure Horse as well that was open to other CPH who won since June 07! Thanks for a great day yesterday and we will see you at the winter series. Wendy Jeffery"

"Dear Timo and Margo, Just a quick line to thank you and your staff for all of your assistance with last Thursday’s Olympic dressage qualifier at TP. The venue looked wonderful, the weather was kind and your assistance and generosity are greatly appreciated. Best wishes, Jim Ellis, Chief Executive, Equestrian Sports NZ"

"When the time came to sell our pony, I approached Margo Aasen from Tielcey Park to sell her on our behalf; I was introduced to Margo through a mutual friend. I sent the pony away on the inter Islander to Tielcey park and she arrived safe and sound. Margo kept me up to date on her progress with regular emails and phone calls. The pony was worked on a regular basis and taken to shows by one of her riders to get exposure, her service was professional at all times, and the sale of the pony was easy and smooth. I would recommend Margo to anyone in the future as all the hassle is taken away from selling your horse or pony by using Tielcey Park." Karen Olsen.

"I would just like to say that my daughter and I were very impressed with your services in selling our pony. We had tried endlessly for months, to try and find her a new home, but without success, until you helped us out, and found her just the right home, within less than a fortnight, and for the full asking price as well! We would just like to say again, thankyou, as it has meant a great deal to us, to know she got not only the best of homes on a farm, but also that she went to a family who will appreciate and love her as much as we did! Trying to sell a pony can sometimes be very stressful, as well as emotional, when the animal is a very much loved part of your family, that you don't really want to part with, but have no choice sometimes, due to changed circumstances. The longer this process is drawn out, the harder and more stressful sometimes, the whole situation can become. Margo took all this away from us, by collecting our pony instantly, taking great care of her, and making sure that she got the best homes possible, in the quickest time, and for this we will always be eternally grateful. I have no hesitations at recommending Margo to anyone who has a pony or horse out there needing the best of homes, as I am sure with her professionalism and knowledge, she will always do her best, with outstanding results! 'Thankyou Margo'." Mrs J Jensen, Levin

"I would also like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at Tielcey Park for a wonderful Winter dressage Series. They were well organized and apart from 1 day the weather was on our side. (pity we cant order the weather). Everyone was very helpful and pleasant. Looking forward to more events at Tielcey. Cheers from Joanne & Theresa Smith"

"Thank you also for putting on such a great winter dressage series. We are very fortunate to have Tielcey in the Manawatu and I hope this becomes evident with good results over the summer season from Winter Series participants, Kind regards, Julie"

"Thank you very much for the assistance given to Natalie on Sunday when she had problems with her float ramp. It was comforting to me that fellow horsey friends rallied around. Kind regards, Jeanne Thomson, Wellington."

"Lessing and I had a very enjoyable two days at your well organized ribbon day! The place looked great and all your staff were very friendly and helpful. Lessing screamed his head off on arriving back home, galloped through the paddock, but then also came trotting up for his feed. Have a good day tomorrow! Lessing and I are looking forward to the next time at your place. Cheers Jutta"

"I just wanted to let you know that I sold Hell for Leather to the lady who tried him and liked him at the sale. She came to have another look at him at home and then decided to buy him. Not sure how other people got on at the sale but my horse was on the market for some months and so I was happy to have success selling him through this venue. Thank you and regards from Alison"

"Just wanted to tell you how pleased we were that you showed Eulah. We certainly enjoyed her performance. We are pleased with what you have done with Eulah and would like to continue training her until she can go into a horse float, and for you to at least to have backed her—sat on her back and ridden her around a bit. When that is done, we would like you to float her here and give her that experience. We were also impressed with the organization and variety of your “Horse, Truck & Float Sale at Tielcey Park”. Your business training was evident both before and during the day..Thanks again from both of us for giving us the opportunity to tap into your skills." Arnold & Carol, Palmerston North

"Can I just say what a fantastic idea this is [thathorse.co.nz horse sale] and it is certainly very appreciated that Tielcey Park and That Horse are getting together to do something like this because it is so hard buying and selling horses! Thanks heaps and hopefully see you there! Cheers," Kim Maude, Wellington

"Thanks for all the contact nice to keep up todate with all that is happening at Tielcey Park, Look forward to next years news letters, Janette McGregor, Wanganui"

"Hello Margo & the Team at Hira Laboratories Ltd, Vanessa (Everton) and myself would like to pass on a BIG thank you for the wonderful products that we receive the other day for winning our classes at your show. Margo, we had a great time. So once again thank you and thank you to Hira Labs for donating such a lovely gift, I have tried the product and it is wonderful. Take care and Merry Xmas, Natacha Otto"

"Just wanted to say that we had a fun time last weekend at the showing champs and are keen to come again. thanks to the friendly staff and the Charlestons for inviting us to their table (as we didn't know anyone else). Our pony loved his luxury accommodation. Thanks again, Simone and Sascha"

"Dear Margo & All, Just to say a BIG THANK YOU for all the time and effort you put into the winter series, I had a great winter with my mare, Te Whangai's Emma, and being on an all weather surface it guarantees us our monthly competitions. Regards, Sue Reisima"

"Hi Margo, You are doing great on the info coming down the computer. Easy way to keep people up to date, and get people coming to Tielcy Park. Have sold Tex, so please take her off the for sale site. And think it helped sell the old girl. Thanks" Kate.

"Many thanks for all you did to make the winter series such a fun and developing event for my daughter. Neither of us ever visualized that she would win the series and it has given her the most incredible boost of confidence and enthusiasm with her sport! We will write a letter of appreciation to the sponsors as well! Good luck with all you are doing for the sport, Kindest regards" Caroline Girdlestone

"Congrats on running a great show last weekend, although we didn’t stay for the whole show… I only heard great things about the event. So thanks " Claire Wilson

"Firstly thanks for an awesome show the other weekend we really did enjoy ourselves and the food was superb." Jennny Booth

"Thanks for running the ribbon day dressage series over the winter months. It has been a very well-run series and been very worthwhile for me to practice 'just doing more tests' to help get on top of my nervousness in the arena - still not completely there, but its much better than it was! Being able to practice the musical for the registered competition was also very helpful. The musical test I did yesterday, apart from the minor gitches went well. Rosie got 68.12%. Thats my personal best score so far! :) (big grin). Thanks again. I will send Farmlands a thankyou letter for their kind sponsorship." Robyn Hirst
