Kookie is a kind chap that really wants to please but can find life a bit overwhelming at times. He would do best in an experienced environment that doesn't mind putting time into lots of low key outings with him or equally someone that just wants to ride at home! He has three nice paces and a tidy jump, he's hacked round the farm both on his own and in company (happier on his own), good to jump on and go with inconsistent work and has shown no dirt but did get quite overwhelmed on a XC schooling outing and got quite hot and bouncy. He is currently barefoot and coping well. Up to date with dentist, had a Chiro and Massage  visit in the last couple of weeks and good to go, is a horse that benefits from regular body work due to being a bit tense at times. Floats and Trucks well and in an environment where he is comfortable he is a lovely ride!

FUTURE TREKKER/CAVALCADE MOUNT BIG strong mare eye guess about 16hh, plenty of growing and filling out left to do, 4 years (as of Aug 1st) . Will mature to be a big strong type. Spadie raced x4, lacked the speed to continue on with. Spadie is green broken to ride, going well under her saddle. Only suitable for a confident, educated rider to continue her education. Shes met all of her milestones here for a fresh to saddle horse, stands to be mounted, walks & trots. Can do a slow trot and lengthen. Does sometimes pace on her way upto trot but seem to prefer trotting over pacing. Loves to walk around on a long rein. Not a spooky type, more of an eyes half closed kinda girl. Definitely not hot/forward moving. Good to catch, tie up, shod currently trainer says she’s good with her shoes going on. Nice shape to her feet, will be a great candidate for barefoot. Easy to have around. A no hassle type. Paddocks with others; not mareish or top of the pecking order. Spadie is in great condition & doesn’t require loads of feed to maintain condition currently on grass and hay. Hasn’t shown any dirt, buck, bolt, bite or rear etc. Nice type, someone will have a great hack in time. Obviously very green. Not suited to anyone nervous. Appreciates a kind hand. Walks straight on the float.

FOR LEASE ONLY Heidi has been retired from racing for a year now and sitting in the paddock. I was going to breed from her but she is just too small for what I need. Heidi has arthritis in the pedal bone, which is why she retired. She is currently 100% sound and I would like to offer her for lease as a riding horse. She is just coming into work now so will need her fitness bought on quietly to strengthen her up correctly. She is not suitable for jumping at all, and she cannot handle hill work as the downwards slopes puts pressure on her pedal bones and will cause lameness. I feel she could do a bit of low level dressage or showing or could be a lovely wee hack for for the forest and beach or even a broodmare. She is still considered straight ott so not suitable for beginners or nervous riders, she can be a bit bolshy in the tie ups and likes to get on with the job. There is a contract with specific directions to go by and any lessee will need to have the knowledge and experience to care for her. Of course she is currently in her winter unridden condition so will need to be muscled up again from the current paddock princess she resembles at this moment. Reference checks will be needed thank you  

JWS DAKODA 9yo 16hh Tuahu Clydie X Fresian. We have owned Koda since he was 5 when he came to me as a sale on behalf and never left. He’s been an extremely special part of our family, being bought for my mum while she battled cancer and was her returning to riding horse. At 5, he had wisdom beyond his years, the horse you’d put anyone on, canter bareback down the beach, swim, go anywhere, tackle obstacles etc. There was nothing you didn’t feel safe conquering with him and hence why we bought him. Since then, he’s played Mr Reliable for mum well. Pull out of the paddock with months off and be the exact same. And in amongst that I’d borrow him, if one of my own were lame. He’s an easy keeper, great doer, barefoot and never been lame. Floats great. Beach, and river swum, farm and hill hacked, the same at shows or at home. Loves being in work and having a job but very equally, loves attention and being just a snuggle bug paddock mate. He’s dabbled in everything from obstacles/ working equitation, champions and reserves on the flat, eventing (65 competitively but xc schooled 95), show jumped up to 85cm, dressaged with mum level 0&1 & now training very impressively Elementary with shoulder in, travers, and mediums being taught easily & more recently show huntered for placings. His rhythm and jump is divine and so lovely and steady. I really think he’d excel in show hunter and I said at 5yo that I’d be surprised if he didn’t go to HOY in this field. But he equally could make it there for working hunters, dressage or saddle hunters. Stunning type with good bone. Still green in the jumping aspect due to it not being the riders focus however he thoroughly enjoys it, sometimes needs support from his rider when it’s something he hasn’t seen before but there is nothing nasty anout this horse!! So genuine and sweet 🤍 The most exceptional brain, really in tune with his rider and so easy to teach. If unsure, he politely says so and if you give him a moment to process, he’s away and won’t think twice about it again. On the flat he tries incredibly hard and picks up things very quickly. He had a run in with a truck early on and since then is wary of loud engines or trailers. We can lead him up behind the motorbike and tractor go past daily plus fine with cars on the road, but louder vehicles can make him tense. He is absolutely fine on quieter roads. We’d love him to go to a first hack, young adult type. Although he looked after mum super, he is more woah than go but has quite an engine for a nervous or anxious rider and because he is so intune with his rider we’d prefer he went to someone confident or relaxed ☺️ 5* home only. This is an incredibly hard sale of a much loved member of our family. No time wasters. We would love him to go to a home that can be absolutely vouched for otherwise we won’t sell.

Weka is a lovely big fella who has already done a bit of low level dressage with his previous owner. He's a late bloomer as had an injury which still being a race horse which put him out for a couple of years before he headed back to the track fully sound but too slow. He does have a knee which is slightly larger than the other due to the injury (in his notes below). He is sound on the flat but it is not recommended to jump hm, hence he's looking for a dressage or hacking home. Would make a great station hack with his size and build!!
