Really keen to find this beautiful mare a new home. Schooling beautifully over fences upto 80cm.

Belle 5yo mare by Iffraaj standing at about 15.2hh (approx.)

Belle is a sweet, workman like little lass.
From day one she’s been great to handle including on the ground and and super straightforward to ride, gets both leads easily & has never said no to a jump. Has played with a couple of one strides & lines.
Floats & trucks perfectly. Straight ties & cross ties with no issues at all.
We’ve taken her on an outing down to the river and she was very well behaved, brave/forward into the water and banks/hills/dips were easy.
Just been front shod and was very easy for the farrier.
Belle, although she is very easy is still green, can be keen to get the job done. I wouldn’t say she is hot, but can be strong and loves to work. Because of that we think she’d suit a more active lifestyle, show jumping or perhaps eventing!
Absolutely no dirt whatsoever, although not suitable for beginners or nervous riders.
If you’re looking for a nice blank canvas, feel free to flick Ardlussa Equine a message on facebook
More photos/videos of her there too.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR YOUR NEXT TOP SADDLE HUNTER/ SHOW HUNTER PONY
Beautiful solid bay mare.

Bee was starting professionally under saddle and has slowly produced. And is very ready to start showing career. She has had limited outings, Due to having too many ponies on the go. Bee is a lovely natured pony easy to handle on the ground, the first one at the fence to say hello. Good to trim hoofs, loads well, stands happy tied to the float. Hacks on a long rein on her own or in company. Can be ridden without requiring lunging after having time off. Bee has lovely big moment at the trot, has a nice steady show ring canter, a light soft mouth. She can be ridden by a beginner but would benefit having a experience ridder carrying on with schooling her over winter ready for next season. She has no buck ,bolt or any naughtiness just green due to lack of milage, no qurks. She will Excel in the saddle hunter ring /Dressage and has a perfect show hunter rhythm over Jumps. doesn't look at fills or anything. Will only sell to experience competitive home, no beginners. Videos available on request.

Seeking expression of interest
Due to unforeseen circumstances I am offering this fella up available to a new postcode.

Rising 12yr old Palomino Roan Section A Welsh Mountain Pony stallion
Registered with WPCSNZ as Nilloh Neverland
By Ascot Merlot
Out of Nilloh Gabriella

Breeding home only. Not a ridden or harness prospect due to previous poll injury with arthritic changes in effect.
He is AI trained and was successfully collected last year including covering mares first cycle via frozen semen. Superb to run with mares or hand serve. Has easily run with mares with the advantage of a hill paddock he has easily gotten larger mares in foal first or second cycle.
50% chance of dilute foals
50% chance of roan foals

This is not an easy decision please no timewasters but due to unforeseen circumstances it’s lead to either finding him a home or laying him to rest. There are worse fates out there, he was passed pillar to post as a youngster and very misunderstood so I will have no regrets laying him to rest if the perfect home isn’t found.

He has been on a meticulous injury care plan the last 18 months and has finally come off all medications and so far is doing well. He will need ongoing support from a bodyworker (not a chiropractor) for the rest of his life.

Will come with a full wardrobe of rugs and various therapy accessories to maintain his care plan.

Is all up to date with dental, hoof care and is up to date with his annual vaccinations.

Vet checks are welcome at your expense but no guarantees he will pass the flexion tests in the neck/poll

He is currently in turnout “Dad Bod” condition

He trucks and floats well, self loads most of the time. respects fences and hot tape.

Needs an understanding approach to be caught, don’t dare turn up wanting to catch him without his treats he’ll just laugh at you.

I’ve had this pony for a number of years now, I have been the only consistent home in his entire life. If you can’t offer the same or better level of commitment then please don’t waste my time by enquiring

Located Rural Dannevirke

Genuine offers only, have had 5 figure offers in the past for him however I believe they were trolls as never followed through, a thorough contract agreement applies

Rocky, 8yo 159cm (smidgen under 15.3) gelding by Badlands Hannover. Well let down, in great condition ready to go!
Rocky has been great to have around right from the start.
Took to being ridden very well.
Loves hacking out, river rides, no bank or dip too scary for Rocky. Takes his time and always finds a good path.
Great for all grooming, floats perfectly, goes on the truck. Stands tied & isnt girthy.
Excellent solid feet, walks out well.
Stands well while others do stuff around him. (super videoing platform!)
The arena isn’t his happy place, he doesn’t have any interest in going in a contact or showing off any fancy foot work, he is more like an off roading/farm truck!
Canter is there but it is a bit elusive. In the arena he can looky, happy to go into detail about this, HOWEVER, out side of the arena he is very happy and hasn’t spooked once, including when 500 ducks flew out while we’re at the river!!

Wanting to go farming. Would make an excellent mustering, farm hack or high country/cavalcade horse.
All inquiries to Ardlussa Equine, there is videos of him too.
We are in Riversdale, Southland.

“RL Opening Night”

‘Sassy’ is an 8yo 15.2hh black crossbred mare.

Sassy is as safe as houses to ride, with three lovely paces and easy to get together. She has the basics well established, and with her owner has had success at unregistered training level dressage. She is ready to compete at preliminary level, and while with us she is further establishing novice level movements such as counter canter and leg yield.

With her previous owner, Sassy was successful in the park hack ring, bringing home multiple wide ribbons at A&P level.
While not her owners focus, she has also been lightly jump schooled and shows plenty of ability and bravery.

Sassy is good to handle, but can be on the pushy side - so needs someone capable of setting clear boundaries.

Sassy is a very cool mare with plenty to offer. Her current owner got her to get back into riding, and her previous owner was a young rider - which speaks volumes for her temperament and reliability!
