Super Dressage / Showing Pony ready and deserves his own rider.

By Maxwellton Woody Woodpecker and Out of Glenardon Valencia (by Glen Cree Victoree). 3/4 sibling to multi supreme mares Glenardon Zsa Zsa Gabor and Glenardon Drama Queen.

8yo 146.5cm, registered with Pony Breeders and Arab society. Still a Novie pony for next season. Has been quietly produced by breeder, all the basics are established, competed at unreg Level 1 & 2 dressage.

Has competed barefoot, good for farrier, good to float (will self load if 2nd on for fear he might miss out getting to go), good to paddock alone (has always been able to see something else) or with company (bottom of the pecking order with mine), good to rug, stable, yard at shows etc

Ridden by children 10yo and up but best suited to a 12-15yo as he is still learning. Thrives on being worked and loves going out and doing things. Been to PC, has jumped some small jumps but not an area we have focused on.

Available only due to lack of rider and Rocket deserves his own person. Currently in light work.

Can come with extensive waldrobe of rugs

Kiwi sunray is the ultimate school master for a confident rider to take up the grades. He will be best suited for junior rider, amateur rider. Ray has been a fabulous horse having competed in gp, young rider successfully throughout his career.
ray would be perfect for someone coming off ponies he is the ultimate confidence builder.

Stunning WBX 2yr old Palomino Mare.

This stunning girl has such a lovely nature first one to the fence to see you. She has been well handled. She is use to kids running around/jumping on trampoline, bikes, large machinery etc. Easy to wash, rug, handle. Has been floated and travels well. Good for the farrier and has her feet done every 6 weeks.

Has just come back from a weeks professional education. Has been long reined bridled with lunge roller etc. She has great expressive paces and will turn heads wherever she goes.

EMH 15/15:1 Unfortunately she just won’t grow tall enough for me and my daughter is a long way off needing this height so will be wasted in our paddock.

Registered with the golden horse society.

Arapito Kowhai needs no introduction to the showing and dressage world in the South Island. Known for his gorgeous looks, temperament and manners, Kow turns heads at whatever discipline he tries. He’s a 10yr old Welsh / Arab x standing at 137.5cm.

He has a huge cheeky personality and loves attention and making people laugh. He excels at riding through the forest or at the beach, going out to strange places for lessons/schooling, showing himself off in the saddle hunter ring or dancing around the dressage arena. We also jump him for fitness/variety. He has a lovely show hunter style but as he prefers to jump with boots on we haven’t pursued this area.

Some of his recent achievements include:

Land Rover Horse of the Year 24 - 6th in Under 138cm Saddle Hunter Pony of the Year Title class
Land Rover Horse of the Year 24 - 6th in Paced and Mannered Saddle Hunter Pony of the Year title class.
NZ Agricultural Show 23 (Christchurch A&P) - Supreme Paced and Mannered Pony.
NZ Agricultural Show 23 (Christchurch A&P) - Champion Saddle Hunter Pony Plus many other champion A&P titles and a lot of success in-hand with his old owner.
Dressage:

4th in the FEI World Dressage 2023 youth section
Champion elementary pony Syncroflex Festival of Future Stars 2023
Champion elementary pony in the South Island Dressage Champs 2023.
He recently travelled from Christchurch up to Taupo for the EvoEvents U25 Youth Festival and to Hastings for HOY and coped brilliantly with the trips and big competition environment. He is a regular competitor at the South Island Dressage Champs, Canterbury Dressage Champs and has attended the Marlborough Dressage Champs and Waimate Dressage Champs.

Kowhai is a sensitive, forward moving pony with a big personality. He is quite the clown and often makes us laugh with his antics!

We are looking for a 5* home for Kow - this is an absolute must. He would suit a young rider with a love of dressage and showing but will offer him plenty of variety and fun.

Ettington (Edward) - 8 year old (2015) bay TB gelding, approx 16.3hh. By Roc de Cambes (NZ) out of Animate (NZ).

Edward last raced in late 2020 before being turned out to let down. He then spent time with Tui Teka Better Horsemanship in the North Island before starting his sport horse career and responds well to natural horsemanship approaches.

Had a number of eventing starts in 2023 with his previous rider at 80cm and 95cm and jumps at this level with plenty of scope and ability to go higher, but is still reasonably green in this area. Since coming to us at the beginning of summer, he has been hacked extensively over different terrains which he enjoys, particularly riding in the lake, and he happily hacks alone or with company. We is also beginning to work nicely in a frame in his flatwork.

Ed is kind to handle on the ground and good to worm, vet, float, truck, etc. He does prefer to float with another horse, but is getting happier with practice. He happily paddocks with others or alone, as long as he can see other horses.

Our intention was for Edward to be a first hack for my teenage daughter to go eventing on after coming off ponies. However, as our rider is still reasonably novice we have found he is just not the right match at this point in time due to their combined inexperience. It would have been a definite yes for our rider in a few years and we would like to move Edward on now to a more experienced teenager or adult rider to make the most of what he has to offer.

Update Tilly is now weaned, leads, ties, feet done, covers etc and has just been registered and microchipped with the IDHSNZ. She will learn to float in the next few weeks and will be available end of may. Open to payment plans under contract.

Tilly is an Exceptional youngster and will mature at least 17hh, Grey & White. Born December 2023. She is by the fantastic new young Class 1 Purebred Irish Draught Stallion, Derrynasagurt Silver (IMP Ireland) and out of my Irish Hunter mare who is by Coalmans Touch out of a Lone Arrow mare. This Filly is 3/4 Irish draught, has a fantastic amount of bone, is correct, has powerful movement and will excell in any discipline you wish. She will be registered with the Irish Draught Horse Society NZ & if the rules change I am happy to register her Pinto aswell if she becomes eligible (current rules mean grey and white cannot be registered pinto). I pride myself in giving my babies the best start in life. When they leave me they will float confidently, lead, tie, cover, farrier, all the basics are done from the start, they are also regularly hard fed with their mums. If your interested in this beautiful filly get in touch today. You can follow us at Totara View Sporthorses on facebook to see more of her and our other filly. Videos available. pics, Black and white is the Dam, Large Grey is Derrynasagurt Silver, Steal Grey is her half sibling competing at HOY as 4yr old. TILLY IS AVAILABLE ON WEANING APRIL/MAY

Great wee horse, great to float, tie up great with farrier, not too bad for dentist.

Has mainly done pony club, been to Xmas cracker jumping at 80 cm, has done Collier Trophy at 80cm. Can be sensitive when hoping on sometimes. He's a very good all-rounder, has been out of work for 8 weeks due to lack of time, but very easy to bring back into work. Loves having a job to do.
