Take time out with The Horse - Christmas and New Year School holiday programmes at Abi's Natural Horsemanship and Riding School.

Abi from Lincoln

Want to adopt a horse or pony and feel as though it is yours?
Want to make a new best friend?
Is it time to try something new?

We can provide all this and more with our educational and fun holiday programmes. You will learn how to safely prepare The Horse for riding, gain skills in leadership, decision making as well as building confidence within yourself. There is the opportunity to create connection, trust and respect on the ground before riding, in an enclosed arena, as well as explore the local countryside from a different angle.

The programmes are suitable for those aged 5 and upwards.

They are running on various dates from the 21st of December through to 29th of January.

Costs range from $50 to $180 dependent on length of programme. Discounts for parents or siblings under 16 who would like to join in on the same programme.

Please note that where a full day is mentioned then there is always the option to do a half day either in the morning or afternoon.

For more details please take a look at our website ( www.abiricketts.com...) or don't hesitate to get in touch by e-mail, phone or text.

We look forward to expanding your knowledge of these four legged animals

Pedestrian access from one of Christchurch’s favourite streets is being extended all the way to the Ōtakaro Avon River. This new 12m-wide pathway will give you a direct, easy route from the street to the river promenade ... perfect for a stroll, a coffee run, or just soaking up the riverside vibes.

We want to know: In your view, what makes a city people-friendly?
What else should our urban areas be doing to support better community connections?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
