Doofy
15.2hh 7yo standardbred gelding.
Recently broken to saddle taken to it well, called Doofy for a reason, he’s a bit of a doofus!
Comes from one trainer who’s had him his whole life & says he’s always been a bit of a slow “doofus”!
He isn’t hard to out smart, you tell him to do it and he will.
Doofy is made up from the “spare parts box” he has a head a draft horse would be jealous of & will not be winning any horse of the year showing titles any time soon. HOWEVER - what he lacks in looks he makes up for in his quiet, biddable nature. Stands to be brushed, washed scratched etc. Excellent to catch cover and tack up.
Doofy has done a couple of injuries as a young horse but these have healed up & he has since raced and injures have not caused him any dramas. He was retired as he was too slow & honestly I’m surprised he ever won a race as he really is very slow!
Unfortunately Doofy only paces, I’ve managed to find trot a couple of times but it’s not easy to locate. Because of this and his somewhat unfortunate looks we believe he would be best suited to a farm hack/station horse. He may be a wonderful trekking horse too.
Stands well when out around the farm.
Arrived in light/poor condition has already gained a lot of weight, in another couple of months he will be unrecognisable.
Free to the right home who will continue to give him a great education.

Glen Cree Acclaim (Faith)

Sire: GLEN CREE SILIQUE

Dam: GLEN CREE MERIT

12yrs old mare 13.2hh english Riding Pony

Unfortunately due to no fault of her own Faith is now for sale. Faith is a fun jumping pony with a lovely kind nature and a lot of scope! In the last 18 months she has taken her rider from being nervous jumping, to rounds of 80cm at home. Sadly rider has now outgrown her and it is now time for faith to find a new home.

Faith is great to float, clip and catch. She has been to pony club, beach, multiple different riding schools and 5 shows with her current owners.

Faith has competed up to 75cm and I strongly believe she could go higher with more muscle and the right rider. She truely is a point and shoot type of pony, she has NEVER stopped at a jump and doesn’t care about fillers. Would make a good show hunter pony.

Faith is in good health, has just had her teeth done. She has been brought back into work after a 6 month break & going well, she just needs to build a bit more muscle to be optimum. Pretty good with farrier and dentist.

Faith is more suited as a 2nd/3rd pony for an experienced home & a gutsy kid. She is very forward moving & can be spooky and stroppy in new places so needs a rider who can ride her through this. Not 'dirty' with no rear but can sometimes throw an excited buck. Faith is truely a lovely fun pony and someone will be very lucky to have her.

$5000

Comes with bridle, brushing boots & covers. Saddle for extra $$

Yearling colt (born 25/11/23) by Kingslea True Fluke (Magic Fluke x Voltaire II) out of Arohanui (Anamour x Distelfink) - a well-produced PSG mare ready for GP before injury retired her to the broodmare paddock. Jacs will be a big lad (string test measures approximately 176cm, and is black with a star and two socks.

Jacs has a super nature, beautiful movement and a sane mind and temperament. Has been raised well (in a mixed herd from a week old, and in a boys herd post/weaning), weaned slowly and fed correctly. He is a lovely lad who is phased by very little.

Due to huge time constraints, Jacs is very minimally handled, however due to his socialising this will not be an issue. He currently has his feet handled in the paddock without being tied, and understands a very basic concept of pressure. Upon leaving he will be leading properly - this is as far as his owner is able to invest but we have no doubt that he will be very easy for someone to finesse.

Upon sale Jacs will be registered with NZWA.

Jacs does unfortunately appear to be turning in front. This will not be correctable with intensive hoof work, as is a conformational issue from his knees down. Jacs is priced with above details in mind, and the importance of a perfect home the biggest priority. Only available to a home experienced with youngsters. Can be gelded here prior to departure at buyer’s expense.

Craigney Park Nara's Display

Born 24/11/2007.

Demi is a sweet mare, shy at first but once she gets to know you she is friendly.

Hasn't had a lot of handling in her lifetime but straightforward to trim, drench and float. She is good to cover. Stands tied well.

Up to date with her teeth and feet. Currently covered, fed baleage & hard feed. Not a lamintic/metabolic type.

Very happy for you to handle her foal.

Really nice mare has given us and previous owners wonderful foals with excellent trainable nature.

Recently retired from her racing career, Margot has completed her retraining here at Jump Start and is looking for a new home.

She is an above average mover and has let down well.

List of her achievements while with us:

Float trained, happy with or without company.

Working well in the arena with all flat basics.  She is confident with contact and balanced on both reins.  Canter leads established with a capable rider.

She has jumped solid xc type fences and show jump poles with small courses under her belt.  No spook or stop, she is willing, trainable and shows a good temperament.  With a knowledgable rider could be produced into a competitive mount.

Clean and correct, happy to hack over the farm and work in the open paddock.

Margot is safe to jump on after a spell and has no nasty behaviour or issues.

She is currently shod in front and after finishing her ridden period enjoying some green grass paddocks and chill out time.

VICES - windsucker.

4yr old 16hh TB mare by Vespa. Retired with a case of the slows, flew through her arrival vet inspection and has ticked off the boxes nicely in her time here so far.

She absolutely loves getting out for a hack, brave as they come for a baby and happily goes round the farm on a loose rein. Picking up the basics on the flat nicely and a quality type that is going to produce some super work with more mileage in this area. She’s getting her head around the jumping, lacking a bit of technique currently but willing to give it a go and should only improve with time.

Viva has been easy to have around, relaxed in the paddock, happily leaves her mates and for her age and stage there’s not really much to fault her on!

7yr old (March born so more like 6 1/2yrs old) 16hh NZ Sport Horse gelding by LV Midge out of Indy (By Colour Me Cool out of a TB mare)

Monte is a homebred gelding and ticks all the boxes for making a super all rounder to be enjoyed across a range of disciplines. He has super soft paces with a lovely rhythm and plenty of quality to them, a tidy SH style jump a gives you a great feel over a fence with plenty of scope. He has lightly competed, attended a twilight event and been on plenty of ridden outings. Loves hacking round the farm, goes round the track alone or in company and has a super soft snaffle mouth.

He has been given plenty of time and is now ready to be enjoyed in his new home I had planned on keeping him but a change in direction towards racing has left me short of time for the sport horses and he’s not getting the attention he deserves here. Monte was a quirky horse to break in and was quite cold backed, very manageable now and not something we see unless he’s had a decent break but because of this and the fact he has a soft mouth I would like to see him go to an experienced home that is with a balanced rider with the basics well established. He has only ever had someone fall off once and that was as a 4yr old while being started so he is by no means dirty or out to get anyone just a touch sensitive. I happily let the teenagers at home ride him without supervision and he’s never a problem.

Monte trucks and floats well, good for the farrier (currently barefoot), up to date with body work and dentist and has been thoroughly checked over by the vets as a youngster to rule out any physical reasons for the behaviour with nothing found. Open to all vetting’s. He has been an incredibly sound horse right through
