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!

“Kazmere Curiosity” (Tyra)

15.3hh 15yo mare. Flowervale Meteor/Voltaire II.

Tyra is the ultimate schoolmistress, first hack, or returning to riding mount. Beautifully schooled and successful to medium level dressage, with flying changes becoming established as well as the beginnings of passage (which she shows super talent for!). Tyra also loves to jump, and has been successful out eventing and RTR. Alongside her versatility, Tyra is also great out hacking (on her own or with others).

She has three lovely paces, is well conformed and is a delight to handle and have around. Tyra has not been thrashed, and was relatively low on miles when her current owners got her a couple of years ago. So, although she is 15, she feels incredibly sound, loose, and has a lot ahead of her!

Tyra has been ridden, trained, and competed over the last couple of years by a young rider, as her first hack, and is only available as her rider is now off at boarding school.

Tyra is an absolute gem, schoolmasters like these do not come around often.

Currently with Haig Dressage, in full work and ready to go.

Lincoln River (Falcon)

Exceptionally classy 17hh 8yo TB gelding.

Falcon is a HoY quality stamp of show horse, with a turn of front not often seen on a TB, big movement, and real presence. With limited outings with his owner in the show ring, he has won multiple champions and supremes.

Falcon is a big mover, and moves well enough to be competitive in the dressage arena against his warmblood counterparts. He is working at novice level with leg yield, and counter canter established.

He also jumps, and with his owner has happily jumped to 90cm. He is brave and has a lovely rhythm to a fence.

Falcon does come with a few quirks (happy to discuss) and is priced accordingly. However, nothing that stops him from being highly competitive. He has absolutely no dirt, but because of his size does require a competent rider.

We would love to see Falcon in a competitive showing/dressage home. This horse has so much to offer someone!

Lox Flora
16hh 7yo grey mare.
Bloomfield Fahabi (Fiderstern/Arab)/Vollrath Lessing

Flora is an expressive, big moving mare with great mechanics. She is green for her age through no other reason than her owners lack of time, but is coming along in her work in leaps and bounds.
Flora is very well put together, and would not look out of place in the show ring either.
She has not competed, but has hacked out and was very good.
She is good to handle, and a good doer. Currently barefoot.

Flora has the ability to progress through the grades and be highly competitive with the right rider on board.
She would be best suited to a kind but competent rider wanting a serious quality horse.

Beautiful all-rounder mare 4years 16.1hh
Dolly is a lovely big moving girl with loads of offer!

Loves getting out for a hack, schools very well walk trot and canter, pops small jumps kindly & has jumped upto 90cm on the lunge showing oodles of potential!
Going to make a perfect all rounder however her trot is lovely & she would seriously shine in the show ring!!
Recently broken to saddle but you wouldn’t know it with her very kind quiet nature.
We are located to Southland, Riversdale
We are asking two Kay for Dolly

Springdale Pandemonium, Panda

Springdale pony's don't need much introduction as they're all gorgeous ponies with excellent movement and "panda" is no different. Super cute spunky pony looking for his new home.

Panda came to us about 2 ish years ago, from Cambridge Lucy Dagnall Equestrian (more photos on her page).
With a confident rider panda is a super fun pony with loads of enjoyable character. He has taught countless riders how to canter while with us and taken them over their first decent sized jumps (60/70cm.)
Unfortunately our lesson program just inst the place for him, he is just too tricky for first ridden, however great on the lead line.

Panda isn't a "dirty" pony but with the inexperienced riders he really makes the kids work for it, you'd think he's stuck in knee deep mud, he has a pretty decent list of classic pony habits. (Napping in the middle, slowing down, standing still etc, no risk of bolt mind you ??)

He is best suited to a confident rider who can already canter and understands how to keep a pony moving forward. Beautifully schooled, goes in a contact with ease & has basic leg yields. Has been well schooled by adults throughout his life.

Panda has done loads in his life before us, Orginally from eventstars, where he had a prefect start to being ridden, they did loads with him, showing, inhand and under saddle, show jumping, farm riding, beach riding & ODE's.
He went onto another family where he took a 5yo through to another pony, he did everything with them - including hunting! Then he came to us, he has been well loved, previous owners want to keep in touch Full history is known.
In his time with us he has been showjumping, showing, farm riding & swimming. Even did a day on the cavalcade!!
Panda is excellent to catch, float, clip & do everything on the ground with.

He wants to go to a home where he can get back out there doing stuff with one rider.
MUST go to a home that is experienced with horses, like most small ponys, he is a smart.

Standing at 16hh on our stick and sired by Derryn.
This gelding has been waiting in line patiently.
He’s had a spell since his arrival a few weeks back, been in the paddock which is exposed to our neighbours.
The school kids and the new turf which is super active boarder his fence. (He’s been eating some apples and lunches I’m told)
Now rolling into some retraining but it’s only early days.
No paddock vices or Issues, a clean bill of health with a recent dental.
So being unraced he might tempt those who enjoy more of an unopened package but will require a rider who is confident with a young horse with less miles on the clock.
Eye catching with a heart of gold he’s certainly made room in mine since he walked off the truck.
Retirement reason - no speed on his side, owner not keen to continue.
