Heigh Up Keep ‘Gracie’

15.2hh

15 year old // NZ Thoroughbred out of Keeper (Aus)

It has come time to find my best friend her new best friend as I start to want to move up the heights. Gracie has been my best friend and the horse of my dreams for 3 years but as she grows older I have made the tough decision for her to start slowing down and have a quieter life! If you are or know of a competent kid or an adult wanting a horse to have fun on that is SAFE!!! to do some low level stuff she is your girl!

Gracie is my second horse and she was one of many that I trialled but she was the only one that truly stood out and stuck! We’ve done many shows these past 3 years but recently i’ve found she has not enjoyed it as much as she used to! She’d be perfect for a kid coming off ponies or an adult returning to riding. I’ve had a range of levels and ages on her the youngest being a little 5 year old and she was foot perfect the whole time, I get on her bareback in crocs and shorts and she has never had any problems, she is brave, easy to hack out in company or alone and loves to be the leader of the pack, she is happy to be paddocked alone or with others, super easy to take out of the paddock alone and doesn’t mind being left by herself either as long as she can see another horse!

no bolt/rear/buck and good for farrier/clipping ect.

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!!)

We are in Southland,

'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.
