Business partner is away for Aug. Last chance to see this horse ridden before turned out in September. will be available as out of work. Call 0279215381 for more information Bob Marlie 6yo 15.2 (guesstimate) chestnut TB by El Hermano. Has been off the track for a while now; originally retired & was used at the track as a baby sitter. He came to us late January and did a bit of retraining & then was spelled for a few months just to let down and gain some condition. Had a small stint back in work and had a full course of ulcer treatment. Was recently rehomed but unfortunately that home did not work out so he is back and in full work ready to find a new home.
Bob has the sweetest nature. No vices on the ground, floats well straight and angle, trucks. Very friendly to catch, excellent with his feet. Will stand tied for hours being groomed. Very relaxed in the walk, happy to mooch around on the buckle, own engine in trot and canter. Goes over poles and working on small jumps, but at this stage I would say is not his forte. Bob does nice basic flatwork, shows plenty of promise for dressage/flat work or perhaps even working equitation due to his wonderful nature?? Not a spooky horse so I am sure he would take to new things under saddle well.
Bob enjoys hacking is brave through puddles and takes on uneven footing confidently. Can VERY occasionally jig jog but short lived and the more he does the better he gets. (We do not have the time to do a lot of hacking outside of the arena.)
Bob has recently come back into work and has been nothing other than a perfect gentlemen! The more he does the more his price will increase, I am eyeing up some of these small dressage jumping training days that are coming up! Happy to be paddocked with mares/geldings & even our draft colt. Very quiet and easy going but obviously a relatively green off the track thoroughbred so does need a confident rider to keep getting the best out of him.

Darci, 7yo TB gelding by Darci Brahma. Home measured at 15.3hh, great doer and has excellent feet. Currently barefoot would appreciate shoes if in full work. Darci has been here for a few weeks now ticking away gets more push along with every ride, starting to understand basic flat work, move over off the leg etc. Been over a couple of poles with out any dramas. Darci does good paces but unfortunately does not move straight (paddles on right front.)
Darci comes over and stands to be tacked up like a champ. Snoozes while tied (straight tied.) Always friendly to catch, LOVES being brushed especially his head.
Straight loads in the float well, can try to turn when coming off but nothing that isn’t manageable.
Not high in the pecking order, always eats up all of his feed. Can be paddocked alone, with mares geldings/colts. He is very easy to have around and keep.
Unfortunately Darci does have a parrot mouth which does not affect him in anyway (ride-ability or condition) but he does however need a dental done every six months to keep on top of a few sharpe points as a result of this. (He has just had a dental done.)
He is obviously still a green off the track thoroughbred so not suitable for nervous riders, beginners etc. we think he would be a wonderful allrounder prospect for a teen to bring on.
If you’ve read through all of that and you’re wondering if you could offer Darci the right home please feel free to get in touch with abit about yourself and what you’re looking for. All enquiries to Ardlussa Equine

Ruby is a beautiful full size pony with lots of experience. In the time we have had her she has had lots of mileage at A & P Shows, Dressage series, pony club an ODE where she was ridden in her snaffle and show jumping days where she has never come home unplaced. She has had extensive handling on the ground and has a lovely soft snaffle mouth.
Good in traffic, on the beach, good alone or in company, good for the farrier, loves being fussed over & getting ready for show prep/ wash
Ruby has excelled in everything we have put her to, she is a quick learner and very willing to please with absolutely stunning movement. A pony who is very much admired.
Unfortunately our rider has come off ponies and is away to university otherwise she would not be going anywhere.
2nd pony for a kind confident rider
Leticia has been a broodmare most of her life. She currently has a lovely weanling by Rosedale Darling harbour (also available for sale).
She is mostly unhandled but with a sweet temperament. She needs a bit of time to trust people but tries really hard.
Absolutely suitable as a broodmare and to be ridden but would need someone kind and patient to break her in.
Sharon has been a broodmare most of her life. She gets in foal easily and is an easy foaled. Has been live covered. She is great to handle and loves attention, while on the older side to break in, I think she would love to be a ridden pony and would be very easy to start. We have had her wearing a bridle and saddle and she has had a rider on and been ridden around on the lead with no fuss.
She has some of the most sought after pony breeding lines in NZ and would breed correct foals.
Price negotiable, we are just wanting a home where she will be utilised and well looked after!

NZWA Studbook mare, DNA verified, WFFS negative
Her oldest foal is licensed stallion Burley RF (by Bentley van de Heffinck) who performed well in 5yo classes this past season. Last seasons foal by Grand Slam VDL scored excellence during foal inspections.
She was not put back in foal this season due to the number of other empty mares I had to put in foal. I have since then gotten into professional phase of vet school and definitely need to cut back on breeding numbers for the coming years.
Capri will be a real asset to any breeding program.

NZWA Studbook mare, DNA verified, WFFS negative
Ellen had a few foals with her breeder, and has had three for me. Her oldest foal here is licensed stallion Up n Go RF (Up To You) who has the most wonderful temperament you could ask for. Her latest filly scored excellence during foal inspections, and the previous year filly scored a merit.
She was not put back in foal this season due to the number of other empty mares I had to put in foal. I have since then gotten into professional phase of vet school and definitely need to cut back on breeding numbers for the coming years.
Ellen is an absolute pleasure to have around in all respects.
