Rip is lovely to look at with his bling, Rip is by Brigham who is known for leaving good temperaments, his Dam is a Throughbred who has a good nature also.

Rip is good to lead, tie, cover and has had all his baby education.

Rip is a little bit shy with new people, but warms up quick, I can see him being an all-rounder in the future

Viewings welcome

Dobby is a lovely looking colt with a bright future ahead, he's by the lovely Brigham who has the most amazing temperament and gives this to his youngstock. Dobbys dam is a Throughbred mare who was very easy to work with

Dobby has learnt how to lead, tie, wear a cover and be caught. So all the baby education has been done. I think he will make 16 to 16'1hh and I think he will turn his hoof to whatever you desire

Viewings welcome

Puddle is a lovely looking colt, and one to stash away in the paddock for the future. He's sire is Brigham who is well known for leaving a lovely temperament. His Dam Trippy (thoroughbred) also has a stunning temperament and is very easy to work with.

Puddle is good to trim, lead, cover and ties up so all the basic baby education.

Viewings welcome.

Bee, 6yo, 162cm clydie cross gelding.
Bee is a gorgeous young horse, on the ground you can not fault him. Not clingy to other horses, doesn’t pull back, dance, neigh etc. No girthy behaviour and easy to catch, float and truck.
Bee was very lightly broken in around 3 years old and has been in work on and off ever since. Has attended dressage days and small shows.
As a 4 year old he did a season hunting (gates) he was still entire, and had perfect manners. Excellent on the hunt field. Wasn’t hot, didn’t mind where he was in the field or who was riding him.
He was gelded as a 4year old and only ever served two mares. He has NO colty/stallion behaviour other than making stud piles in the paddock (I’d say that’s a win).
Now Bee is being ridden by teens as young as 14years old. While he is incredibly quiet he isn’t a beginners/ novice horse yet as he does need more schooling to keep him “forward”.
Bee gets both leads correctly, schools nicely in a contact, good transitions, starting leg yield, shoulder in etc. He is “more woah than go” however if ridden forward he will maintain the speed he is asked to go. Flys over any jump infront of him, regardless of what it is or the distance he has. With a couple of seasons under his belt he will be the perfect point and shoot type. Happy to hack out through mud/puddles.
Bee is testing the waters and has had a couple of bucks with his owners, we haven’t seen it here we would like to disclose that he isn’t completely fool proof yet. We believe this is just young horse behaviour & that he is ready to step up and do some hard work/wet saddle blanket work and I’m sure he’ll be an absolute once in a lifetime horse.
Confident, experienced riders only please. He will be a husbands horse in a year or two just not yet!
Will go in any direction you wish. Could see him on the cavalcade or low level eventing. He will do it all.
Vetted as a 2.5yo - full report available. Open to new vettings. Please call for more information.

Patrick is a brown yearling irish sport horse colt.

By Derrynasagurt Silver, out of 'Timia' (Tina) an upstanding TB mare by Tivaci.

Patrick was october born so is 12 months old now. He is straight, correct, and very clever. He will mature 16.2hh plus, and is built to be an athlete. He has had the best start to life with regular drenching, hard feeding and two weeks professional handling with Nye Harbourne at Rafter H Horsemanship. He has floated several times and travels well.

He is not yet gelded but is booked in for this.

I bred Patrick to be my future hunter and saddle hunter, but change in circumstances means I have too many horses and someone has to go. He will undoubtedly turn his hand to anything in the future.

My loss is someone else's gain. Delivery negotiable including to the lower north island later in the year. More photos available on request (including of mare).

Marty (Fingerprinted) 6yr old 16.1hh tb gelding by Belardo
This guy is awesome, the right amount of sensitivity with a huge desire to please. Would suit a variety of disciplines, tidy enough for showing or dressage and willing enough for jumping. He can be a cheeky boy but no dirt, more like the class clown trying to impress everyone with his latest joke!!
Available to an approved home, where he will be respected for his uniqueness and who will keep in touch with his breeders.

Currently at Driftwood Sport Horses Ltd in Fernside, Canterbury. Video on request or you can find them on my Facebook page under the same name.

Windrush Digby (Digby)
14hh 17y/o Warmblood gelding
Sire: Davidoff
Dam: Greenlee Actress
We are looking for a fun home where digby will get lots of variety out as a happy hacker! He loves going to the beach, forest, swim down the river and road riding. Digby can find life very exciting sometimes so he will require a confident rider with soft hands. Great for the dentist, farrier, to worm, happy to float or truck. Can be a pain to catch sometimes but will always come to a carrot!
Digby will come with some rugs and his bridle. Saddle is available at an extra cost. Digby has been with us for 5 years now and we are looking for a home that will love him as much as we do!
Available as a lease (local) or purchase.

Brandy is a lovely wee thing, just needs to further her education now. She has a floaty movement on the flat and had popped a few jumps up to 80cm , very brave and honest on that front. While a racehorse she often trained down the roadsides so has that under her belt already.
She is going to be a supermodel in the right hands. Photos don’t do her justice. She’s stunning already and will only improve as she lets down properly and muscles up. A sweet but sensitive girl who is lovely to have around.

*Note* currently in her winter coat, summer pics are from when she first arrived

Pm for more information, video on request or search her up on Driftwood Sport Horses Ltd on Facebook

Patch is still figuring out the contact and right lead canter, but every ride is more positive. He’s a lovely boy to ride, does need an assertive person on the ground though just to keep his manners from slipping. In saying that we have no problem with him at all and find him easy to have around and do anything with.
16hh, 6yr old Belardo gelding (we love the Belardo offspring around here). Will definitely jump and tidy enough on the flat for dressage. Has a wee tear from a previous injury in his nostral which does not effect him in any way, just cosmetic (check pic). In the right hands he would be a good TiES contender or eventer.
A little tender in barefeet currently so might have to get a set of fronts popped on.
