LAVENDER HILL KSNZ
5yr old 15.3hh Registered NZWBA mare by Senator VDL out of a TB mare.
Lav has been with me for the last year and has been a genuine youngster to produce, she is soft and willing on the flat with a super canter, brave and careful to jump with good natural instincts and enjoys getting out and about hacking!
I see this mare thriving in an Eventing home with a competent junior or smaller adult wanting a straightforward but capable young horse with plenty of potential to travel up through the grades. Equally would suit a Jumping home or just someone that wants to do a bit of everything.
Charlie is a super fun wee chap that is also capable of stepping up the grades in a competitive home. He has been lightly competed and is ready to get out consistently in his new home. With us he has been ridden by a range of riders from professionals through to 14yr olds and PC level riders. A genuine youngster who has been a pleasure to produce so far. He is working kindly on the flat, happily hacks out round the farm on his own or in company, goes bareback, jumping up to 1.10m at home over SJ’s and schooling round 95cm XC. He is a nice compact horse that is easy to put together and has shown no dirt having arrived to us as a green 4yr old straight off the break. Charlie is good to truck and float, currently barefoot although is good to shoe, happily waits his turn in the tie ups, paddocks alone and with company and is just a good sort to have around the place and enjoy.
Reluctantly looking for new home due to no fault of his own (Young family so not much spare time to do him justice)
Bay TB gelding, 11 years old, 16.2hh ish (Can measure)
Smarty is a laid back chap, who loves to please. He’s show jumped up to 80cm and done show hunter at the same height. Schooled some 90cm at home, has a nice jump with potential to go higher easily. Good for farrier, have his teeth done, to float, truck etc. He is establishing working in a frame and is picking it up it just hasn’t been my focus.
Home is very important, he’s a lovely horse and I want him to find the right person that is experienced and kind that can bring out his full potential. No dirt and is certainly more whoa than go but can have TB moments but just needs more mileage and consistency. He adores attention and wants to be best friends.
Located near Rangiora (Canterbury)
Remmy is a 16.3hh 5 year old Thoroughbred Gelding by Tavistock.
Remmy retired from racing in November 2024 and has had a slow introduction to the sport horse life.
Remmy seems to like things in the slow lane and is generally more woo than go. Remmy is still very green and although he hasn't shown any buck, rear or bolt, he will still require a competent rider. Remmy seems to prefer relaxed casual work rather than being pushed, however I think he may benefit from a decent break to build up and be a horse.
Remmy is generally easy to handle on the ground.
'Silent Wings' Dressage/Showing/Hacking Schoolmaster. 15yr old 157cm TB by Dansk.
Sting is beautifully put together with gorgeous free movement and gets compliments everywhere he goes! Great to hack, not spooky, easy to handle, enjoys having a job and being around people. Well schooled on the flat and a pleasure to ride. Not clingy to other horses and loves going on the float for adventures!
He's previously won Novice and Open Park Hack Championships as well as Supreme Horse at the New Zealand Riding Pony Society show 2018 and he also won Champion Novice Park Hack at Canterbury A&P show the same year. He has also done some low level dressage with good results and has a lot of potential in this area.
Recently competed at Rai Valley A&P show after only being in work for a week and went Reserve Champion Novice and Open Park Hack with excellent comments from the judge.
He can jump however this hasn't been the focus for his current rider.
Sting does get grass affected so he needs his diet managed, and he is girthy so isn't suited to a nervous or beginner rider.
Up to date on teeth/worming/bodywork, has been xrayed (these showed no issues and available if requested), currently has front shoes on, is in work and ready to go!
He's a capable fun horse for a confident teenager or adult wanting to compete and hack.
Sadly he's not quite the right fit for his current rider so he is looking for a new home.
A classy young NZTB with a big heart and plenty of character.
Chad has recently retired after a short racing career but we feel his future is bright in the sporthorse arena. He had one win and was easy to have in the barn, his best was early in his starts and was unable to back it up.
During his racing preparations he spent a couple of weeks schooling with Jump Start and has returned to be rehomed. We like to think Chad just liked it with us. Has been brought into work slowly after a 8 week plus spell and let down period. He has shown no dirty behaviour and has been enjoying the more relaxing lifestyle.
A more sensitive type under saddle but is sensible. I feel he would suit a rider who is understanding of a work balance and is able to provide more education and training to secure his future. In return I believe he will try hard to please, be a best mate and develop into a genuinely fun allrounder. Chad has started basic jumping, farm hacking and basic flat schooling. He is starting to be happy in his own company and interactions with his handler over his horse buddy’s.
Recently had his dental, health check, shod all round and up to date with vaccinations/worming. He has no know issues but has been seen to windsuck. Price is negotiable and potential homes must be able to provide a reference.

5yr old 16.1hh TB mare by Press Statement. Ash is a strapping young mare with a big future ahead of her!
She has recently retired from racing and taken to her sport horse career incredibly well she has a nice soft mouth, quality paces and the start of a super jump. I would love to land this mare in a competitive home where she is given the ability to get out and showcase her talents She has been for a hack round the farm and enjoyed getting out and about away from the arena!
She can be mareish to handle on the ground and towards other horses and she is a big unit so for those reasons I think she needs a more capable home than some others we have through but equally I think her abilities justify someone a bit more competent picking her up
Lottie is a 5yr old 16.2hh approx TB mare by Per Incanto. She has had a spell since she finished racing and arrived to us just over a week ago currently barefoot and coping fine although we will pop some fronts on her if she’s hanging around and doing more work!
She has been a really kind and genuine mare to jump on and pick up her new job. Happily walk, trot, canters both ways on a soft rein but doesn’t really understand working in a frame yet. She has been super bold to jump in her three schooling sessions so far, better over solid fences at this stage but not going to be a hard mare to get going quickly she’s beyond brave!
Lottie has loved getting out round the farm and happily heads off for a hack on her own leaving her mates and cruises back in on a soft rein.
She has been nice to handle and have around, she does show signs of having mild shivers when asking her to back up on the lead but can pick up her back legs and is a nice sound looking mare on the whole
I think Lottie’s ideal home would be as a fun all rounder to do a bit of everything with, she’s taking everything in her stride so far and seems a nice sort. I’d put her in the good first TB category. She’s going to be fairly forgiving of someone learning how to produce a young horse!
