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.

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.

Sir William Weka Handsome and willing natured 8yr old TB gelding by Showcasing. Standing a solid 16.2hh. Suit a confident rider. Retired sound but slow, he's since had some competitive dressage outings scoring mid 60's. Basic flatwork buttons installed and pole work experience. Plenty of hacking mileage at the beach, forest, farm, road and river tracks - both solo and in company. Loads and travels well; truck and straight load float. Stands sensibly in new environments. Weka is a soft natured, people orientated horse. Will stand all day for grooming/pampering and loves a good carrot and scratch. A real gentleman to tack up and handle in general. Good conformation - great feet! Currently shod fronts only, but has had periods of being barefoot where he was happy to farm hack. Good doer (read fat ) and holds weight easily on a diet of grass/hay/balage. If you want a straightforward horse for fun, adventures and flatwork/dressage Weka is your guy. Not recommended for a jumping career due to an injury as a 2yr old. It’s caused no issues since (fully rehabbed and he continued racing). He is more than capable of popping that log on a forest ride though. Weka has a lot to offer a confident rider wanting an adventure buddy with buttons and a realistic price tag. Current owner has serious health issues and just wants to see Weka in a good home. Very negotiable.

When brought she had only been backed, she has been ridden by myself, children and teenagers.

Done arena work walk, trot and canter also done by a 10yr old . Has had other horses in arena at same time.

She needs work with her canter as she isnt that balanced.

She can get anxious but with the right person to teach her the ropes she will be an amazing show pony. I have done a couple of inhand shows with her and will continue to do so till shes sold.

Being a young horse she can be unsure and can shy if things pop out of the bush at her. She needs clear, direct instructions and you will have an amazing pony.

no bolt , buck or rear .

She has been trucked and Floated. Floats well just needs gentle hands and low energy. Travels well alone or with others.

Riden at the beach in company, she is unsure of water but with a bit of convenience she will go in and have a splash and play.

Can be paddocked alone or with company have had her with both mares and geldings. Slots herself into a Heard.

Adjust herself to different paddocks.
