Hi I am getting married next year Jan out Pakiri Beach. I was wondering if there are any photographers out there that are just getting started and want to get more experience behind them. Would ideally like someone who is outgoing and can handle a decent group of people. :)
Auckland Council and Drowning Prevention Auckland are calling on Aucklanders to reduce the number of drownings in home pools this year.

NOT SUITABLE FOR DRESSAGE, JUMPING ETC. HE IS SUITBALE FOR HACKING, GENTLE RIDING etc.
Handsome was on trial last week. The proposed owner loved him. Naturally, she had a vet check conducted. Handsome failed vet check. (All vital signs were good). BUT X-rays show “changes in right front fetlock, Auckland Vet Centre Xrays indicated “bone/joint degeneration disease”. Which means, he is not suitable for dressage, rigorous riding, jumping etc. I was shocked. VET REPORT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THAT IS SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING HIM.
Handsome has never been lame before, in my time of owning him for 3 years, (my vet records will be available to potential owner), nor with the previous owner who bought him in 2008 @ 4yrs old. (I keep in touch with her). However joint degeneration disease means he is likely to become lame at some stage in the future.

Matewhero Valiente (Handsome) by: Woodstock Recaro Real out of Altanero Estalina (Spanish First Class Cross) by El Caballero Encantador II to 6 generations
Reason for selling - I am not riding him much and it is not fair on Handsome. It saddens me deeply to sell him, though I need to do the right thing for Handsome - he loves riding. MOST IMPORTANT - he MUST go to a home who will love him dearly, look after him and every aspect of his well-being, and also needs a paddock buddy. (Photos of Handsome with my partner).
Handsome Wants to please, very chatty, talks a lot. Comes up to you in the paddock, talking.... He has an incredibly beautiful nature and loves his humans. He adores children.
Handsome is so placid, if I don’t ride for months, then jump on him - he is absolutely fine.
No vices, no dirty behaviour. Not racey - likes a gentle ride, trustworthy, doesn’t spook, very safe to ride. He has a beautiful personality, loves his mate our Kune Kune, our dog and our ducks.
He is so placid, I did not ride him for 6 months last year and jumped in him and he was perfect.
He would suit either someone returning to riding (which is what I did after years of no riding), or someone wanting to hack out and have fun. PM me if interested. Thanks for viewing in Warkworth. 🌹 PM me or phone 021 274 474 or 022 308 4259

We come across garages of all shapes and sizes but the common theme amongst them all is they are a well over used storage area that often becomes a dumping ground.
Here's our ten step programme to help you declutter your garage and make it a more useable space:

Here's our ten step programme to help you declutter your garage and make it a more useable space:
Ingredients:
Rubbish Bags
Marker Pen
Drink (alcoholic if its after 12pm and you're not driving to the dump!) Snacks (unhealthier the better, you're going to burn loads of calories)
Radio or stereo with some great tunes
Trailer or skip (optional)
Storage containers
Broom
Mates (optional but highly recommended to help you)
Steps:
1) Choose a fine day with no rain forecast (almost impossible in Auckland right?!)
2) Move everything out of the garage and create piles outside with signs (ie Dump, Charity, Mum and Dad's house etc)
3) Ring your kids and tell them they have 2 hours to collect all the stuff you've been storing at your place since they left home!
4) Be ruthless and throw out as you go. If you haven't used it in the last 12 months you aren't going to. Don't kid yourself, you're not going to start cleaning your car now if you haven't done it in over a year! (Your poor car, but at least there will be room for her in the garage now)
5) The items that are staying, group together (ie sports gear, automotive gear, gardening tools, pet supplies)
6) Use your storage containers if and where possible. Label them clearly so you can see at a glance where things are located. Cupboards are great as well.
7) Sweep out or vaccum if you already have garage carpet. If you don't, call us while your garage is empty and we will carpet it for you within the day! If you tell us you saw our "De-clutter" post we will give you a 10% discount :-)
8) Put everything back into the garage in a orderly fashion. Try to keep the theme and put similar things near each other.
9) Sit down on your clean garage floor and give yourself a pat on the back!
10) Send us your before and after photos and be in to win the prize for Best Transformation!
Have your say on the future of Auckland's beaches.
