Little Bit Special

Little Bit Special started with the idea of creating bespoke traditional hunting stocks – to be handed down through the generations and cherished for years to come. The inspiration was from a silver stock pin of swallows that my daughter was given by her grandmother – this stock pin was specially made and given as a gift to her great, great, great grandmother in Cornwall. Keeping with the tradition of white stocks for hunting but adding that touch of bespoke on the tails making them that 'Little Bit Special'. Little Bit Special stocks are made to Hunt! Stocks that can be 'put in the wash' with a quick iron ready for the next hunt.

Each stock is designed, embroidered and sewn by me (Monique) – custom made - bespoke – that 'Little Bit Special'. Follow my Facebook or Instagram pages and send me a message to begin designing YOUR bespoke 'Little Bit Special' stock.

Animal Physio Aoraki

Animals like people, can respond to physiotherapy – the purpose of which is to restore and maintain strength, mobility, function, independence, wellbeing and performance. It can be used to treat a number of problems from joint conditions, muscle strains, ligament and nerve injuries to rehabilitation pre and post-surgery. It can also be used to help address obesity, reduced fitness and age related issues such as osteoarthritis.

Animals often only display subtle signs of pain or discomfort such as stiffness or a change in behaviour or performance. They can also compensate for pain by altering the way in which they move, which can lead to muscle imbalances and dysfunction and ultimately in reduced function and performance. Every animal is an individual and a thorough assessment is required to tailor treatment specifically to its needs.

Lucy Finch not only treats humans, but small and large animals too, alongside rider symmetry assessments.

The Honey Collection

A Story of love and inspiration: a love affair with Mānuka honey; and several sparks of genius which has helped to formulate the range of unique Mānuka honey skincare products.

Over 40 years in the making, their story began with very humble beginnings in Jean Coombe's kitchen sink. Jean struggled with severely sensitive skin that became irritated and inflamed whenever she would use skincare products and she knew there had to be a better solution. So, armed with the philosophy of doing things as naturally as possible and the knowledge that Mānuka honey is magical, Jean began crafting her own natural skincare. From there the demand for her products grew from friends and family to a small artisan market clientele. However, it was not until she passed the reins over to her son, Nick Coombe, 26 years ago that The Honey Collection was born. The rest, as they say, is history.

BTB is known for our tailored yet contemporary style, creating modern accessible products from high performing, technical fabrics that have the feel of luxury without the price tag.

Founded by Alicia Readman in November 2014, BTB was the first equestrian business of its kind in New Zealand. Alicia identified the need for a quality and style focused brand with an economical price point. Having been involved in the fashion and manufacturing industry for the past 16 years, Alicia has grown from the business from producing a few select products into being NZ's most established equestrian brand, designing the largest range of technical, functional and stylish clothing for the NZ rider. She continues to focus firmly on the future and strives to evolve BTB even further.

BTB is for everyone, all riders, all disciplines - for lovers of the horse. Check them out at https://beyond-the-bit.myshopify.com

Mary Gazzard

Mary is a long time hunt supporter and self confessed hoarder of nice things. Mary's involvement with horses started at a young age with both parents actively involved in hunting and the then NZ Horse Society. Mary has been involved in the SCNO Show-jumping and Show Hunter group as a competitor and Secretary. Mary and partner Brett were regulars on the hunt field on their unicorns Zam and Frosty, until racing commitment's and aging hunters took them away from being active riding members.

Maree Handy 

Maree Handy grew up on a sheep & beef farm in Western Southland. She got her first pony at age 5 and from then on, that was life. Maree rode the hills at home before leaving school to go full time shepherding. She spent her teen years, when time allowed, hunting with the Birchwood hounds.

Maree has always picked up both a pencil and paints from a young age and drawn or painted mostly the animals she was surrounded by. Although Maree is not full time with her art, she is progressing slowly and is going to Christchurch fortnightly to classes and has just finished the Wanaka Autumn Art School.

Maree loves watercolour and mixed media and has recently branched into landscape as well. She loves nothing better than taking photos whilst trekking in the backcountry and gathering material of scenes she'd love to paint.

Maree's lovely partner is building her a studio at the moment and she's very much looking forward to shutting herself away with her paints whenever she gets the chance; when horses and dogs aren't calling.

We will hopefully see Maree on the hunt field sometime soon.
