Our Lovely Staff
Hi , my name is Rebecca Iti and I founded ITI GGS Miniature Horses and Cart. Back in 2001 I put my little Miniature Mare Abby into Carriage, and then decided that I would love to do birthday parties with her. I had a 4x4 ute and a float, I made a flyer and away I went to my first birthday party. In 2006 my company became a reality when I officially created ITI GGS Miniature Horses and Cart. My husband Kipa and I started taking Abby and Sahara to birthday parties. Below is a picture of my husband Kipa, Kipa doesnt come out to parties anymore he's at home with our two pre-schoolers.

Aria
Aria has been with us since June 2018, shes such a friendly bubbly young lady and we love taking her every chance we get. Aria has a wonderful kind personality and is fantastic with children, she is also a horse trainer and enjoys riding her beautiful 14.3 hh pony 'Spirit' who she rescued and rehabilitated into an amazing riding pony. Aria hopes to be a teacher one day, which isnt surprising as she has such a natural ability with children!
