Larry is a super fun chap that has competed to 1m Show Jumping and is a cool and versatile dude!

In his time with us we have had him on a XC schooling outing, a Hunt, ridden him bareback, jumped him with a range or riders and had a heap of fun with him. He has a decent engine so not for a real nervous nellie but a really cool genuine sort for someone wanting to get out and have a good time.

Jack is a fun wee dude that is going to have a heap to offer his new home as he continues to gain mileage and confidence under saddle. He has mainly hacked out since being broken in and has started more schooling and arena work since arriving to us to be sold on behalf.

He can be tense under saddle at times especially at walk and trot, at canter he's actually been very happy and confident in his work and the rest is improving with consistency. He moves well and seems to enjoy learning and doing new things just needs his next rider to continue giving him time and confidence in his job!

Update getting out hacking and loving it. Long rein, not spooky and no jog!

Really nice guy alert
Bear, 16.2 (guesstimate) 5yo Standardbred gelding
Bear is one my favourites to walk through the gate.
He is an absolute Labrador, a yes man, wears his heart on his sleeve!

While he has just recently been started, bear has taken to being ridden like he’s done it every single day of his life. Is very intelligent and picks up everything quickly.
He has elasticity throughout his body, soft mouth & nice paces and starting to work in a contact. Bear has an amazing canter, the best standardbred canter I’ve ever ridden ( & I’ve ridden a lot of Standardbreds!!!)

He has been out on a wee walk around out side the arena and as to be expected he was a gentleman.
In full work and we are doing more with him daily.

His feet are in good shape & good for the farrier, bear is ALWAYS ready to be caught, bottom of the pecking order, stands tied perfect and is not girthy. Loves being groomed and patted, any attention is good attention if you’re bear!!

Is still letting down from being race fit, but he will look amazing in the future.

I’d love to see him go to a home who’s going to showcase him and how special he is. They don’t come up as cool as this guy very often!
(As a standardbred rehomer I’m allowed to say that!!)

'Silent Wings' Dressage/Showing/Hacking Schoolmaster. 15yr old 157cm TB by Dansk.

Sting is beautifully put together with gorgeous free movement and gets compliments everywhere he goes! Great to hack, not spooky, easy to handle, enjoys having a job and being around people. Well schooled on the flat and a pleasure to ride. Not clingy to other horses and loves going on the float for adventures!

He's previously won Novice and Open Park Hack Championships as well as Supreme Horse at the New Zealand Riding Pony Society show 2018 and he also won Champion Novice Park Hack at Canterbury A&P show the same year. He has also done some low level dressage with good results and has a lot of potential in this area.

Recently competed at Rai Valley A&P show after only being in work for a week and went Reserve Champion Novice and Open Park Hack with excellent comments from the judge.

He can jump however this hasn't been the focus for his current rider.

Sting does get grass affected so he needs his diet managed, and he is girthy so isn't suited to a nervous or beginner rider.

Up to date on teeth/worming/bodywork, has been xrayed (these showed no issues and available if requested), currently has front shoes on, is in work and ready to go!

He's a capable fun horse for a confident teenager or adult wanting to compete and hack.

Sadly he's not quite the right fit for his current rider so he is looking for a new home.

A classy young NZTB with a big heart and plenty of character.

Chad has recently retired after a short racing career but we feel his future is bright in the sporthorse arena.  He had one win and was easy to have in the barn, his best was early in his starts and was unable to back it up.

During his racing preparations he spent a couple of weeks schooling with Jump Start and has returned to be rehomed.  We like to think Chad just liked it with us.  Has been brought into work slowly after a 8 week plus spell and let down period.  He has shown no dirty behaviour and has been enjoying the more relaxing lifestyle.

A more sensitive type under saddle but is sensible.  I feel he would suit a rider who is understanding of a work balance and is able to provide more education and training to secure his future.   In return I believe he will try hard to please, be a best mate and develop into a genuinely fun allrounder.  Chad has started basic jumping, farm hacking and basic flat schooling. He is starting to be happy in his own company and interactions with his handler over his horse buddy’s.

Recently had his dental, health check, shod all round and up to date with vaccinations/worming.  He has no know issues but has been seen to windsuck.  Price is negotiable and potential homes must be able to provide a reference.
